Yea I think that’s what I’m gonna do and if it runs half decent I’ll probably end up going to a full tube chassis in chromoly if the funds allow

Been trying to keep busy on the truck. Got the pan bolt problem fixed temporarily. Gonna pick up more fluid today and hopefully test drive tonight. However in the meantime I’ve re did my Panhard Bar didn’t like the way the original one turned out. And I’ve also added a few brave bars to the 4 link aswell as a crossmember. Hopefully have some more pics and videos to post tonight.

The truck finally moved under its own power. After having the on on and off multiple more times fighting the pr valve kept coming off of the roostercomb. Anyways got it all figured out ended up having to use washers to space the slack up but I got it to work. Going to drive it tomorrow. Will take some pics and videos. Did break the tires loose alittle in the garage. Truck builds boost really quick. Was starting to spool by 1600 with the 475 single. Looking promising

It’s just the small exhaust 475/83/1.1. I have way to much fuel for it honestly probable why it’s spooling so easy. Goal is to run a 480/96/1.32 single with spray and as of now it’s looking promising

Anyone ever seen a set of 4ks go way past 4k? Truck only has 4ks in it and last night it went up past 5100 without even starting to defuel. There only two clicks and idle is fine and don’t hang revs or anything. I don’t mind it at all I just don’t wanna keep doing it if there is a issue allowing it to.

In my experience some 4k's can go to 4500+ no problem. I have also had a set of springs I thought were 4k's and were actually valve springs that were good for more like 5500rpm.

Yea I let off alittle past 5100 it was still climbing and haze was getting thicker so I don’t think it was close to defueling yet.

What gear were you in?

It was just free reving. In gear I don’t take it much past 4000

That's why it revved so high. Doesn't take much fuel to just free rev. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yea it does suprisingly being a 75. I’m guessing the head porting helped more then anything. It’s really overfueled aswell. I wanted to grab 3rd aswell but it started down off the bank to the side.
