    Converter lockup signal output?

    Is there any sort of switch or sensor I could tap to get an output signal when the converter is locked? Looking for something I can use for nitrous arming so it only starts spraying post-lockup.

    Nitrous effect on EGT

    Anybody logged EGTs with vs without nitrous on the same tuning? Curious whether it increases or decreases... Seems like the charge cooling should be fairly significant, but at the same time increasing the cylinder pressures would(?) increase EGTs. Which one wins out? Sent from my SM-N920V...

    Smoke-- turbo or head gaskets?

    LMM, full build, 16.5:1 fingers, carrillos, LML crank, Danville 68stg2r, dual fuelers. I recently (few weeks ago)started getting intermittent smoking, mainly at idle. Thought it was probably time for injectors--turns out they were terrible. Replaced my 40 overs with new S&S 100s. While the...

    DSP5 replacement connector pins?

    I bent one of mine pushing it through the firewall...where can I get some replacements? Not sure what the proper nomenclature for these is. Thanks! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Project "Might As Well"

    I put a hole through #8 piston when the injector failed 3,800 miles into a 5,900 mile journey from Alaska to NJ via TX, loaded at around 30k total weight. Truck had 130k miles, and had been tuned at 490hp/885tq since 20k. Built tranny and basic tuning/exhaust was all it had. After the...

    Towability with a twin over the 68Stg2R?

    I just picked up a shiny new 68 Stg2R to cap off my new build. Haven't even ordered the Fingers pistons yet (waiting to find out what the block cleans at) and I'm already considering going twins. Looks like Mark recommends the S480 or S483 over the 68, but I'm curious what that'd tow like...

    Lightweight Valve Bridges worth it?

    I was looking at the Danville lightweight rocker bridges, just wondering if they're worth it. I'm strongly considering the 3388AF, and figured if I'm spending the extra few hundred for valve cups and Ti retainers, what's another $480 for the lightweight rocker bridges? I tried to research...

    Builders in Philly/South Jersey area

    Can anybody recommend a good shop in the region? I'm ok with traveling a couple hundred miles if need be. I called XDP, who's about 45 minutes from me, and they recommended a shop right across the street from them, but I'd never heard of it- DPS in Wall, NJ. Some local guys that helped get...

    Individual cylinder EGT probes?

    Anybody found a good looking way to display 8 EGTs? I've found an aircraft-style single gauge, but mounting a 3-1/8" square faced gauge in an LMM cab, I can't imagine a spot that would look even halfway decent...

    The "might as wells?'

    In the process of pulling the motor right now. I'm fairly site I roasted the #8 piston, but forensics will have to wait until it's on the ground. I'm still undecided how much beefier I'm going to go with the replacement, but while the engine is out, what are the ancillary items I should go...

    Help: Truck stays running after the key comes out

    2008 LMM Crew Cab Dually, LTZ, has remote start. A few months back I noticed sometimes (not every time) I would get out of the truck, it would stay running for about a minute, maybe less after I take the key out. It shuts down on its own, but it acts like I've remote started it and the HVAC...

    Where to get a custom 20x12-14 wheel?

    I love the look of stock the stock DRW wheels, but I want larger. Anybody know of a source that can make something that looks like the stock 17s but in a 20" size? I want a 20x12 or 20x14 rear wheel with the dished look of the stock DRW, but a single wheel...so far most of the custom wheels...
