Obviously it is Seths truck. No secret. There is also no secret that he does not mind me answering these questions as he is at work and I have incredibly to much time on my hands.j
If you would rather I dont answer the questions, I guess i can do that. But unless seth all of a sudden has a problem with it, Ill continue.
Kyle, to answer your question regarding towing with a turbo gasser. It is not recommended by any of the turbo manufacturers and how the truck responds, i bet it would tow horribly. But hey, I guess thats just hear say till someone on here tries i and gives us a real life review.
The truck is a monster, im not giving out final result as I will leave that glory for seth, If he chooses to tell people.

I heard the numbers.That truck is sick.
Nice!
I am going to spill the numbers you all have been waiting to hear. 615 hp and 620 tq. @ 5200 rpm. So we are going to retune it tomorrow to achieve the numbers where I want them around 6200. we are going to turn the boost and power down some so the trans will live. it should be fun though!
Congrats Seth.. I heard the #'s yesterday but that's gonna be a badazz ride for ya! Can't wait to see it running in person!

yup, this thing runs out of injector and fuel system in general at that power level but its nasty as hell. That tune up was on 16 psi and 11.0-11.4 A/F..... Ill back it down so he can actually drive the truck at WOT and not go lean above 5200. Ill look for 570-580 to the tire at 6300 or so. I think Toms car should be a monster when looking at this truck
congratz seth thats way cool
special thanks to: Marv @ C&M performance 262-993-6605
dyno results. we finished tuning today. the fuel system starts going lean after about 5200 rpm. So we set the rev limiter at 5000 rpm and it short shifts at 4800 rpm. after I can afford a fuel system I will have forest set this thing on kill and be ready to make some money. I will not post the final #'s after the fuel system but, I am guessing 700 rwhp when it is all done. Thanks again Forest, and West Bend Dyno!!!

I am very impressed with Forest tuning capabilities and his willingness to go out of his way to help me get my truck done on a sunday. I reccomend him to anyone that needs tuning done or maybe a custom turbo build, just a couple of his very impressive skills.
Fn Sweet!
