kelleyperformance Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) im not going to disagree, building it would be ideal. but cost vs. down time, most customers ive had dont have the time or money to drop it at first. plus a healthy 65e with a shift kit/servo and proper tune can handle that boost fine with a good tune and no "teenage" driving (well, not consistently ) Do they consider the 4l60 the same as the 4l65 on summits web site yes, almost entirely the same. very few internal things that are different. just make sure its for 4L60E, hence the E. So what kind of numbers do all the other d1sc SSS put down?? like an SSS with just a D1 kit...? boost level? you gotta be a tad more specific Edited December 15, 2013 by kelleyperformance (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurderedSS Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 ^Well I'm gonna prob run 10 pound pulley except if they think I should run the 15 pound pulley when I get to the tune shop If they think I'll b fine then I'm gonna probably put it on and have them tune it and I may buy a mild cam if I have some cash left after doing the shift kit servos fuel pump e85 injectors not sure what all that's gonna cost me? Links to some good cams injectors and etc that I may need would be helpful thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Your gonna be dropping some serious coin. If it were me I'd def put some money in the trans. Your gonna wish you had later when you make some power. Sounds like a nice build but you can't pinch pennies when your doing it.

smalltownguy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Yeah man I started with only 3k in the procharger kit itself and now I'm probably or at least nearly (I dont bother to add it up haha) in to it for 10k and I still have a few thousand bucks worth of stuff I wanna get before finally slapping it all together. I hope your wife really likes driving your truck because you guys may have to live in it once the mod bug hits hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleyperformance Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 really your asking for trouble on that truck with a 15 lb pulley... dont care what the tuning shop says!! who is tuning it by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachm89 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 As long as whoever is tuning the truck knows what theyre doing and he has the fuel system to support it especially running E85, how do you figure he is asking for trouble running 15psi? Hell I was running 93 on 15psi without a problem. To the OP, give Zippy a call and talk to him about tuning. I can promise you that he will do a better job tuning it via e-mail and logs than any shop in your area. Feel free to PM me as well, youre building something damn similar to what my truck was with the procharger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1SCSS Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Its going to take a lot of tranny work to keep 15 lbs of boost from destroying the trans..... That's a lot of power with a D1!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachm89 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 That's a true statement. In all honesty, unless you have an ungodly transmission builder in your area, I'd save myself the headaches and pick up an 80e. A good rebuild with a shift kit and you should be just fine with the 80e. With a rebuilt stock trans with upgrades like I said in your other thread, it could last you forever, or not make it through the first few WOT pulls. Its a crap shoot.

Blown 346 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I myself would rather have live logging done for tuning than a mail order. Every motor is different and live logging would get you the best tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bfast Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I myself would rather have live logging done for tuning than a mail order. Every motor is different and live logging would get you the best tune. That is not what Zach is referring to. If you have tuning software, you can log the truck just the same as someone sitting in the passenger seat. Email the log file, the tuner makes adjustments and emails back, and you reflash. Then you either repeat the process or make a run. What also helps is having a wideband that is tied into the software and will greatly help the tuner. Also, running this kind of boost you will most likely have a SD tune which will constantly have to be modified due to the constant change in weather.

zachm89 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yes, thanks Brian. I'm talking about picking up HP Tuners and logging the truck yourself and emailing the files to the tuner for modification. Not many times are there an abundance of shops in everyone's area that know what the hell they're doing when it comes to tuning. Some may think they are badass and know everything about everything but in reality are just punching numbers in till shit works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahoBLKss Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 i agree , pick up hp tuners (consider it one of your mods to do) give zippy a call and he will get you handled from there. as far as what other trucks make with a d1 i would guess your truck will run mid to low 13's bone stock and on 10 psi, and mid to high 12's on 15 psi. just figure every pound of boost is roughly 20hp +/- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurderedSS Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Don't have anyone set up to tune it yet kinda been looking around to see what it's gonna cost me and if someone close to me has an awd dyno there is one but the can't tune E85 so still searching and thanks for all the Input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurderedSS Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) So does everone think my trans will hold up on 10 pounds for at least this summer then next winter I'm gonna get a fully built 80 or Mayb build my 65 Edited December 17, 2013 by MurderedSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurderedSS Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Might be a dumb question what year and what vehicles am I looking for to find a 4l80e for my truck and is that an awd setup or is there a bunch of mods I have to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
