One thing I noticed today is how easily it breaks the the tires free. He's trying to get me to log low rpm boost, and it just wants to let go and tach up, which he doesn't want me to do yet. I may try in 4x4 so I can keep traction.

Is the 6.2/8spd capable of handling the power increase of a supercharger (example: TVS1900) or will they need built up before doing so?

With proper tuning, yes the 6.2 can and the 8spd is slated to handle just shy of 740 ft-lbs

I'll let you know as I get some miles on her. I will say all the gears are kinda overkill for the torque it makes with the blower. I don't need downshifts to take me to 5k when I have plenty of power below 4k. I almost think I'd rather have the 6 speed with the blower, stock the 8 gears were fine.

I went with the twin turbo kit from Armageddon. Ran 11.42 @ 120.55 and 11.63 @ 121.03 Friday night at Mokan Dragway.

I am ready to get mine on. Hopefully in the couple weekends I'll find time. Put new plugs and wires on. Can tell a difference with just those little things.

 

Any video of that? Sounds like it really is a good kit.

Sounds like it is running good. Do you have a psi gauge? I'm wondering what you're at with the low end of the power band.

A solid 5-6 psi by 2000 rpms. Gets to 6.5 by 5000

so jealous, looks good man. I been eye balling those E-force chargers, btw you can get smaller pulleys since BB is tuning it. dang it that coolant tank is right where my oil catch can is plus I have a battery charger over there where your oil can is.

 

I am guessing Edlebrock has the AFM disabled?

Edlebrock still using the "Green" filters?

 

 

I know you been tuning and playing around, once you get set can you post some MPG numbers later?

My plan is to pulley down once the tuning is all sorted out. You are correct Afm is disabled. Right now my mileage is crap,lots of heavy throttle runs for logging lol

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?
