Dyno Question?

[Dirk]

90 inch pounds? 120 in pounds? I don't remember. BTS will give you that info when you call.

Ok awesome I think that will be the next mod for me then, eventually though I should get a billet TC too with these stage 1s shouldnt I? I dont hammer on my truck all the time but the trans does worry me and if a VB will solve that that would be great! Thanks again for all the help dirk I really appreciate it

a TC is always a good upgrade.

I am thinking of junking the VB i have now and trying out a BTS or JW

[Matt P]

Yeah I just cant afford a TC right now too so If a VB will hold me over for a while I can at least afford to get that especially if I can install it myself

[Dirk]

Just have the trans rebuilt correctly. Dropping $1100 on a good converter just to have a hard part in the trans fail is a waste. Now you have to rebuild the trans and you'll need a new converter.


Also, when running your truck.. try out different tunes on different runs. A GOOD dyno operator will let you make quick changes. The dyno's around here will allow 5 min between pulls.

yeah I want to go with a full BTS trans I just dont have the 4300 to do that right now, but if for now a VB will be sufficient until I can afford the whole trans Ill do that.

yeah I want to try the different tunes on different runs I just wasnt sure if they do that so if they will let me then I will try that

having it built correctly is a big deal

If I were you I would just save my money and buy a BTS trans and TC, it costs alot but its worth it in the long run, I honestly have reciepts next to me for over 10k in transmission work... If i would have been smart I would have done BTS the first time, but that was before the org.

if possible, get your pulls on video, and post up some numbers. i'm interested to see the outcome with your new setup

Ill be sure to do that, Im interested to see what kind of power I could make

[Matt P]

Well I just sent BTS an email about the VB figured it was a little late to call, hopefully I can get one soon!
