Man if the brakes would just hold and we could sixty foot we'd be dangerous :wink: I think we've figured out the soft brakes, thanks to some help from Jeff Stabell, thanks Jeff. A nice 4000RPM launch with 10 PSI should be interesting if we can get it to hook and some more tuning and we should be knocking on the 10's door. I just hope the front end holds up I'll keep everyone posted, going to try and get out to the PTE get together in August at US41, that's where BG made all his fast passes :wink: and that will give us a few weeks to straighten a few things out. Glad you guys liked the truck.I have a question for you syty owners. I've read a lot of owners pages and I come across some racing stories a lot. I've read in some where they say "I brought the rpm's up to 4k and launched"
Torque converters stall speeds dont let the rpm's go above the stall speed right? But wouldnt a torque converter that can let you rev above 4k be kinda unstreetable? The only kind of cars I hear with stall speeds like that are 9-10 second cars. Can someone enlighten me? Sorry for the stupid question...

You can rev above the stall speed, yes.
Launching at 4krpm on a stock converter doesn't make for a good street race, yes. If you had a 4krpm converter in a stock truck, you would be hitting the rev limiter before you crossed the finish in the 1/4 mile.
Stall speed and driveability all depend on the build. I don't have any facts about how high rpm converters drive in syty's daily. The highest i've driven was a 2800-3000...i forget. It felt much different than my stocker tho.
HTH and hope other people can help.

Bingo, Ryan and Rich are shooting for somewhere in the 10s with this truck.. Perhaps even better if tuning works out.. He has a custom setup including (but not limited to) : Oddfire V6, 4L80e tranny, NP205 4x4 gear case, speedpro etc etc etc..
Truck is quite capable of running the times once they get the binders and the tuning figuired out.
Only problem I can see is, it idles a little odd

i think they are shooting for alittle more then 10s. atleast I hope so. The torque converter will also stretch a bit depending on how much torque you are able to throw at it. On most awd sytys there is a point where too much stall doesnt help, b/c you will just spin the tires.
The last customer truck we put together has a T66 dual BB with a 2800 stall and the boost is instant. by the time the pedal is bottomed out, its already at 8psi (where boost is currently set at) Seen as how we made 380rwhp on 8psi i cant wait to see it on 25psi.

We are shooting for single digits
but lets not get too hasty we've gotta hit the 10's first :wink: Yeah with my set up I can hit 4000RPMS assuming the brakes can hold a bit. Problem is my turbo is too small and we get mad boost by that RPM. We still have a ways to go, see how far we can push this turbo, I hear its sweet spot is 24-26PSI so....so DICK keep in mind that the combination is the key, forget the parts for a minute and tune away and you'll go plenty fast. Just look at the Canadians truck eh, tons of tuning and the right combo and bamm 10.71.

Yeah well, maybe next year you won't find a loose beer can stuck under the throttle after the run, eh?
ET's would also probably improve if you took the all the keggers and Beaver out of the bed before a run, too :lol:
It's not easy being Canadian,eh?
hehehe

I'm still blown away man couldn't have happened to a nicer group of guys eh! But dream with me for a second, my motor is built to ASA specs so imagine 8000RPMS and say 25PSI!!!!
Get a nice sixty foot and who friggin knows, plus by the time we get to that point the 25PSI will be from a much bigger turbo :wink: Who knows what will happen at that point, funny part is BG and I have seen a much sicker AWD SY...makes ya wonder :roll: Tony you should be a terror on the streets there is no way a street tired car is going to hang unless its AWD too...RR
