Crap it's hot!

It's 105 degrees today so what better day to lower the under hood temp with some header wrap. Blue is a little crazy looking but it was free thanks to my friend Bryan. And you can also see the boost controller is in place.

Boost Controller

In keeping with my homemade cheapo crap. I put together this boost controller for about $12. It's a pressure relief valve from Grainger with barb jammed in and JB Welded in place. The idea was stolen from a friend of mine who runs one on a 5 second blow-through Mustang...so, it works.

Video of the pass...

Thanks to my friend John for getting the video on the trucks first pass...

8.66 @ 82.78mph!!

I drove the truck to Dunn-Benson dragstrip tonight...a 33 mile drive. Made a single pass...went 8.66 with a lazy 2.09 60'....so given that my goal was to go 8.30's...this was an awesome first pass! Then got back in it and drove it 33 miles back home. (ignore the 2.09 reaction time...I forgot to turn the data logger on and did it with the tree coming down - doh!)

This seems a little shifty...

The shifts under power were a little "slushy"...so today I installed a B&M shift kit...now the 1-2 shift feels like you been hit in the ass with a baseball bat!
