I think my kids stole most of my hair so hats are always a good thing. Summer for sunburn, winter for insulation.

On the other stuff, my truck just barely isn't big enough. Would probably do a F250 if I bought another truck. Like JBrew did.

 

Roots blower for a 2V 5four w/towing pulley. Direct all that power to just above idle and beyond.

Monster in the box transmission.

Yukon 4.10's ...

 

Specially on the cold concrete garage floor...talk about brain freeze.

 

SOB... I hate the Chiefs.

 

Why...they beating Baltimore ?

 

Did consider a part time elec blower that just adds a psi or two. With my eco-gearing, would help a gear for several seconds. Rarely needed. "¢heap."

We might be at 90% volumetric efficiency, and that only at low rpms, so if we lose 1.5 psi even at 90%, from 14.7, adding that back is no small beans, even if only under 2-2500 rpm. You still get some, higher up. 100% volumetric efficiency was once the holy grail of race tuners, and they finally got it, but in a V V narrow rpm band. We want most of ours at low rpm anyway, as w any real truck. 265 HP to 300 on the cheap, *no extra gas, without stressing things, except when desired? Yum.
EDIT: (14.7/13.23)x265= 294.444 HP, 29.444 extra
(ALL based on some general assumptions.)
2nd EDIT: *"no extra gas," of course you WILL use gas proportional to the extra HP, WHEN you're actively.have the extra air, turned on. The MAF & computer will tell it to do that.

 

Here ya go. Thought I read about these a couple years back.

 

Yes...

 

That's an old centrifugal type Procharger. I believe that's all Procharger makes. You want a roots type blower for pulling power on the low side. Like Eaton, Whipple, Magna Charger, Kenne-bell.....

This way you break things right off...before even getting started. You know, closer to the drawing board....home.

 

Why is it so hard to find a good alignment shop? I did some suspension work on my daughter's 2010 Focus, and she took it to Firestone for alignment. They sent her out the door with a ~$200 bill, AND THEY DIDN'T ALIGN THE CAR!!! It's been an unending series of this kind of incompetence for the past 15 years or so, and I swear, I'm going to snap one day.
