Grey Ghost pics


Recommended Posts

Posted

OK, it finally stopped raining long enough to clean the grey ghost up and snap some pics. I finally found out how to put them somewhere to link to - Thanks for the help! :D:thumbs: Those of you who have asked me for pics of the ram air mod and the painted bowtie please check it out!

 

Here are pics of the truck and mods/add-ons so far:

How much extra Horsepower did the ram air give you? I've been thinking about doing that with my truck but wasn't sure if It added alot.

 

Does it add top end or low end torque?

cowboy- I felt SOTP gains, according to my butt dyno, in low end and top end. It really made quite a diff on the low end. You can esp notice it when you are going about 30 mph or greater and have the sudden urge to put the pedal to the floor! :nono:

 

I don't know how much hp it added but it really improved throttle response- my truck is not gasping for air anymore. I don't think you even need the ram air you could just run the tube from the bottom of the air box to about 10 - 12 in down if you wanted to- just to allow more cool air into the airbox. :D

 

Butt dyno results:

horsepower= yup+

torque= yup+

throttle response= h*ll yea!

 

All in all I'd say it's a good mod- I'm happy w/ mine. just my .02 - hope it helps. :thumbs:

Awesome work!!! :D

 

Curious, maybe my eyes ain't working good. Where's your MAF? Mine is square and I just don't see yours in the photos.

lrymal - the MAF is between the lid and the tube inside of the rubber gasket that connects the 2 pieces. It's kinda hard to see but it's there. :cheers: I think the square piece you are referring to is the square section on the MAF where the electrical connector is. When I installed the UPD (NSV) the directions said to rotate it 45 degrees toward the cab (firewall) so it would not stick up too far and clear the hood. It's a lot higher/bigger than the stock intake. :D

 

Thanks for the comment! :thumbs:

How much horsepower does the kids seat give you? :D

 

Good looking truck  :thumbs:

The seat does not add horsepower just VOLUME!!!!! :mad: I must say that this is my little girl's favorite place to sit though. She loves my truck! :D

 

Thanks for the comment! :cheers:

    • Does anyone know if the GM 85628205 and 85628208 are interchangeable?   The 85628205 is an assembly of the seals mated to a thin metal shim and the 85628208 appear to be just the rubber seals without being an assembly. The reason I am asking is that I'm installing a PPE Thermal Bypass Valve and it doesn't come with seals.
    • Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).
    • Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.
    • Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.
