BTR 220

[M1ck3y]

So I recently had some mods done and thought I would share the results.

 

BTR 220

Kooks headers/green cats

E85 Sensor

Magnaflow catback

 

I wont even bother posting a sound clip; the magnaflow literally makes it quieter then stock (engine noise is way up). I could hardly believe it, because when I ran long tubes and corsa sport it was insanely loud. Stupid loud..

 

I should mention that I have 33" 10 ply LT tires that weigh roughly 70 pounds each. Which is why the numbers are low. Truck was dynoed with e40-e50; with 93 it only made 10-15 less hp. I was told it was dynoed in 5th. Not sure how that works though, as my my tires are only rated for 112...

 

Overall I'm quite pleased; gained roughly 100 hp/ 100 ft/lbs at 5500 and gobs more up to 6500 (which the truck now shifts at)

That’s awesome! Great numbers for a cam swap. 
 

So you didn’t put that crazy intake on?

 

What lifters and rods did they put in?

 

How does it pull off the line? Up top?

No I decided to not put the msd on. Davenport didn’t think it would make any extra power.

 

They put in GM performance lifters, and btr chromoly rods.

 

The truck feels pretty good down low, better actually. Pulls strong up top too.

 

Hey, what oil are using? Davenport put in driven di40 and I don’t know if I have to stick with this oil, or if I can use something else. 
 

driven di40 is a racing oil and is only good for 5-7000 kms.

Just put in any 0W40 or 5W40 oil, it's going to be just fine.

 

It's just a camshaft swap, it doesn't need specific racing oil.

I use Amsoil 5w30 Signature series and Amsoil filter. Strange how they told you to use that race stuff

They Just got back to me, looks like I can use any 5w40.

 

Im thinking Pennzoil, but it doesn’t specify a drain interval like it does with the dexos rated oil…

Here’s another dyno showing the difference between 93 and e45. Not a huge difference but the truck feels way quicker using e85..

 

 

[M1ck3y]

Was dynoed in 4th

 

Regretting I didn’t do the intake manifold. Looking at getting btrs truck intake now. Doing a gear swap, and potentially the drive shaft
