Perfection if i do say so myself.......
This bed kit is far and above anything you can buy IMO. I think i will start making these to sell.
Under the truck the 4" nipple down goes to a short piece (8") of flex pipe, then a hard pipe 90* bend to the straight piece running to the engine. Worked out very nice other than i had to widen out the hole in the bed (that pissed me off) because we mis measured something and to center the stax, we had to widen the hole to move it over 1/4"

Comments?

so 1600 is okay without melting pistons? I was worried i couldn't even endure a 1/4 mile run because of high EGTs.

On SHORT bursts, should be ok. Give it plenty of time to cool down after the run..

I bet I hit 2000-2500* today. But I was major pissed. Remember, do as I say, not as I do.

I'm willing to bet it was a bit further than that. :wink[3]:

The odometer went from .7 to .8 when i looked at it from start of run to end which is a 1/10 mile but considering human error i rounded up to 1/8 mile.

Ask Tony how fast I can peg a 1600* gauge.

2k isn't that big of a deal. Heat soak is the killer. As long as you don't lose a cooling jet, you will be fine for the most part.

Also, ask Tony if he's ever hit 2k* in his truck. :look:

OK, I think there's a story in here somewhere. Wanna share? If you've posted it in another link, would you post the link here?

Realy? I would have never thunk it. I don't even know if my commander guage reads that high :dunno:
If i ever get on the track with it, i guess i'll push it a little higher and see.

I know you didnt melt anything...just ribbin ya.
I have not been comfortable with EGTs hitting over 1250 actually...i think this run at 1350 is the highest i have seen them and that made my azz pucker

note to self: clean that stain off the seat tomorrow.

:hehe::hehe:

Like Dirk said in short bursts its fine......you run into trouble when your towing or if you get the need to run cross country :nod:

Were you trying to break your truck? :hehe:

Its not a problem for me to hit 1600+ at the end of 1/4 mile run. Hell, I've heard Matt has it 2050 in his truck. So yes, short bursts of EGT's are ok, not exactly the best thing for your rig, but it is ok :thumb:
