Looks really nice. All that wrap on your DP is going to make it rust faster. Maybe remove that last 1'-2' of it? Everything below the exhaust manifolds that was wrapped on my truck was starting to pit badly after a few years and I just vacation into areas that get winter weather and salt.

Thanks! And I thought about that also, forgot to include the truck doesn’t get drove in the winter and once I can get some miles on it to prove it doesn’t leak or need any other fan work, the piping and turbo covers are coming off for powder coating along with the down pipe

Alright looking for some advice again...truck is very fun to drive, although it’s still a little on the laggy side and once the converter locks, especially in 5th at highway speeds, it still acts and spools like a big single. Multiple logs and revisions have helped out a lot although it just isn’t cutting it. Hardly and low end torque for towing. I’ve thrown around the idea of going down to a .88 or .91 housing in the valley and if that doesn’t help go down to a 1.15 on the 480, although I believe this will hurt my overal top HP a lot down to the 800 max range. My tuner also says going smaller on the valley housing will make drive and cyl pressure skyrocket.

My other option is to step back into a per day 65mm 3794 or a 68r in the valley to gain some spook and low end power.

Running a goerend R 2400 stall converter BTW.
