Got my Truck back with MODS

Just got back in from picking up my truck. I have to tell you, WOW   :head: Here is the list of mods:

 

Sierra C3, 6.0L

Agostino Racing Stage 2 FI Heads, lower compression .5

Agostino Racing 215/218 112 lsa cam, .554/.570 lift

ATI P1SC Procharger with one size smaller pully

38 lb injectors, custom wiring harness

LaPole Headers with 3" collectors

Flowmaster 70 Series Big Block 2 Muffler

NGK TR6 plugs

Custom LS1 Edit Tuning

 

All I have to say is HOLY CRAP!!!  Low end it takes off. Did not think that the truck will run this strong and those guys were surprised as well. The truck kept blowing the intake tube off!!! I have to give major credit to Agostino Racing Engines for supplying the parts, LG Motorsports for installing everything, and Jeremy Newhouse for doing the tuning at LG. The truck is tuned pretty safe right now running alittle rich, they were afraid I would blow it up  :uhoh: Everything was custom tuned, idle, shift points at 6K, no torque management, A/F, etc. It runs great and on the highway you cannot tell much at all, got 15.4 mpg on the way back from Dallas, 200 miles having alittle fun. We were not able to dyno the truck as it is AWD and could not find an AWD dyno, Disconnecting the front driveshafts put the truck in limp mode because of the computer. When the truck spools up over 2K, it throws you back into the seat, not tire spinning, gotta love AWD!!! The heads and cam are top notch and the ATI is working great, was a rock solid 200' on the way back, no overheating or anything at all. I went with the ATI because i think the centri S/C matches better and their characteristics, I am not a big fan of Whipples, sorry.

 

I will be trying to get out to the track sometime soon. Hope to be in the low 13's with a 5300lb truck  :lol:   I am going to do alittle more tweaking in the future as there is more power easy, and add electric fans and a 2600 stall converter this winter. Once again, big props to www.agostino-racing.com and www.LGmotorsports.com  for the great parts and great service and install work. I would recommend them to anyone. For those people who want tuning, Jeremy at LG knows his stuff and will do a great job. Keep you all posted on how it runs  :)

####, that sounds sweet!  Did you have to upgrade any of your driveline parts?  That motor has to be putting some serious heat on everything behind it! :thumb:

Sweet.  That sounds like one badass truck.  I am guessing since your truck came with a 6.0L that you have the bigger tranny that comes in the 3/4 tons (can't remember what it is called??), cause that kinda power would put some serious strain on the half-ton driveline.  Get us some pics of the truck and some underhood pics, I am sure we would all love to see them :uhoh:  :thumb:

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
