I had heard some stories about the service of whipple but I can tell you that they have been great with me. I had a tech question that I emailed them last night and had emails first thing this morning. If I were to do it all over again I would stick with whipple.

Part of it depends on the set up behind the motor. I have seen videos of some trucks that seem to have a better 0-60 times than mine does. A truck with 3.73's will be faster 0-60 than the same truck equipt with 3.42's. I currently have 3.42 so it seems like my 0-60 time are not where I have seen others but I can tell you my mid range is awsome. My 30-90 seems fast as hell now. I am also running heavy 22's so again the same truck running 17's or 18's is going to have quicker times. There are so many factors. I can say that I am very happy with the results I have acheived and there is so much more potential that can be pulled out of it will smaller investments now. (ie smaller pulley)

You are running too rich on the WOT A/F ratio, you should be @ 13.5:1. You woul also pickup a few horsepower.

 

Nice numbers though.

I got my stpwatch on your truck at 7.39sec for 0-60. That seems pretty quick for a 6k pound truck. Anyone know what it would run stock?

Also very interested in the outcome. Forgive my ignorance, but this is a Denali, so it is a 6.2 right? Is it also AWD? Was the dyno run done on a 4 wheel dyno, and the truck was in AWD for the run? Isn't that something like 20% parasite loss?

 

it is the 6.2l they do make an awd model of the denali however i have the 2wd. i cannot wait to get her back and see the gains

 

 

That is the 6.2L and it only has 315 RWHP? Doesn't the 6.2L make over 400HP. It makes me wonder how much HP a Stock 6.2L AWD makes to the curb?

 

 

The 402 HP rating of the 6.2L is AT THE CRANK, on an engine dyno. There is at least a 20% parasitic loss (402x.20=80) to the rear wheels due to the automatic drive train. This would reduce it to 322 RWHP.

Hows the blower working out for you. IM planning to do it on my escalade

 

I am loving every minute of it. I am getting the itch at this point to start trying to get more out of it now.

 

You are running too rich on the WOT A/F ratio, you should be @ 13.5:1. You woul also pickup a few horsepower.

 

Nice numbers though.

 

That graph was when the shop installed it. Shortly after I got it installed I did some data logging and sent it off to Justin at blackbear to make some tweaks on the tune, which he did and it seemed to pick up a little more power.

 

are you using the stock pulley? how many pounds did you get out of it.

 

Yea I am running the stock pulley getting about 5.5lbs of boost. I am starting to look into a pullyswap to get me to around 8 lbs of boost. The truck is a beast.

yeah since i have stock manifolds on mine im prob going to do the 3.5 pulley which should do 8-9 psi. You running long tubes correct with a 3.5 inch cat back. So that right there will drop about 1 psi

No headers on mine just stock manifolds. Only thing I did to the exhaust was a muffler swap and resonator delete to a flowmaster with dual 3 inch pipes. I considered headers but for the price I decided againts them. I may step down to a 3.375 pulley but I am afraid the parts might start to let go as I have to stock driver shaft and not transmission upgrades. I think I can keep the transmission safe with a good tune on it but the drive shaft is what worries me most as I have heard some horror stories.

yeah i have a escalade but doing a complete build. getting some times before the blower then times after the blower.

 

SO wait the stock pulley is 3.625 and your only seeing 5.5 psi boost??? yeah I have a magnaflow 3.5 inch in/out with a turn down on my truck and felt a nice difference check it out

 

 

 

they have a 3.5 which would prob be 6.5 then the 3.325 which would be 9psi. Ill prob do that 3.325 pulley also im doing a custom tank set up for the hx system as I did in my tbss.

 

One thing for sure the escalade is getting 3.73 gears next week so I think that the truck should run 14.20-14.30 with intake/tune/muffler and blower shoudl put me down into low 13s

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
