Prestinb'S Official Build Thread

Very nice! I would love to see what an open exhaust does for power!

 

I agree...I still have the 1 3/4 Dynatech headers, off-road mid pipes, and a Corsa Sport Cat-back. I would really like to get a set 1 7/8 ARH headers to see the difference they make...

 

Also...my wheel/tire combo is super heavy so I am sure that is not helping much either...

any updates on this build? Parts added, dyno runs, track times? Great build a lot of the new members can see what HP they can expect from a NA build of this type.

 

shadowsniper3006,

 

I have changed a few things but still don't have any track times yet...still working out the tuning. I swapped the 1 3/4" Dynatech headers to 1 7/8" ARH headers with 3" collectors. I also am running a custom made 3" true dual exhaust with X-pipe. The truck now has a great muscle car sound vs the banshee scream of the Corsa Sport exhaust. Once the tune is complete, I will post some numbers. :pepsicheer: For now...enjoy the sound of a fine stock cube N/A build. :dbanana:

shadowsniper3006,

 

If it would ever stop raining around here I might be able to get to the track. I feel that my tune is finally complete after ~36 revisions. Zippy is thorough to say the least. The truck is night and day compared to the MAF tune I was running. I honestly believe that the final dyno charts I posted are not even close compared to my seat dyno now...

Finally made it to the track last night for a few runs. I did zero track prep and left the truck in daily driver attire...basically the worst case possible due to wheel/tire combo. So what did I learn...

 

1. Street tires suck...almost lost it around half track on the 1st run.

2. I like to take naps at the lights.

3. 2wd trucks make it difficult to hook.

Other than that...it was fun but perhaps a little track prep would go a long way.

 

I didn't get video of the 1st run...just a timeslip. The two videos correspond to the 2nd and 3rd runs respectively.

Just for reference...I just swapped out my set of 3" Center In/Out Flowmaster Super 40s for a set of 3" Center In/Out Spintech Pro-Street # 6441. Here is a clip from my buddy's windows who was pacing me from a stop light going around the corner. He has a Duramax so there was no mixing of exhaust sounds :)
