cummins with around 2k foot pound of torque from the factory here

I gotta get mine on a decent dyno.

We had the white truck on the dyno after the big single and injector upgrades and it kept tripping the dyno around 1650-1700ft lbs.

That was on 62lbs. I've got another 20-25lbs on top of that to go yet.

The sad thing is my wife still drives it 90% of the time. She just hasn't found the csp5 switch yet. When she does, I'm sure i'll be notified that it's wrapped around a pole somewhere. The poor toyo's dont really like 80 lbs of boost on the street and nether does the transmission unfortunately. I just need to pony up and get one built. The Suncoast mega68 isn't loving life anymore. Just hate to go back to a 47 or 48rfe again...

Power glide and a gear vendors unit

Do it

We tried a powerglide in the 08 drag truck we built.

It looks great on paper but it just doesn't work as well as a 3 speed with lockup.

Just not enough RPM to make it work right. I'm sure someone out there is doing it and having luck but I didn't. an 8,000lb truck and a two speed just kicked my ass to say it blunt.

The truck still get's daily driven as well so manual valve bodies and 2 speeds are probably out of the question for the wife. ATS makes a pretty good 48rfe that has it's own stand-alone unit. That's probably the route i'll end up going again.

That is what the gear vendors unit is for. The 2500-3000hp drag week cars use that combo to run mid 6's and cruise on the street. If the converter is built right it's no different than having a 4 speed auto but it's 2x as strong. It's only money. $11-$12k will get it set up.

You know how bad I'm in the doghouse after dumping another lump into the white truck?

If I got put 10-15 more into it right now she might kill me in my sleep.

So tell her it cost $2000 after selling the 68rfe

She does all of the accounting for the business and personal.

I tried hiding the injectors and pump under the business cards and she even caught that shit... Woman is a linebacker when it comes to money dude. She knows I'm spending money before I even spend it.

Edit -- It's not that we don't have it to spend. She's just frugal and it's a pain in the ass to hear the same old 15 min speech every time I slip one through.
