Upgrades for #772
- Thread starter ASAP
- Start date
That's kinda been my position. After having all kinds of spark issues in the past, I'm happy having something that always works at whatever boost level I've thrown at it. I can't see there being any significant additional power in more gap, but there's a whole lot less when the spark blows out...

I think the improvements are negligible for what we are doing. (not chasing max effort setups) and as long as they still idle "smooth" the small gap isn't hurting anything. I think it will start to "miss" at idle if you go to small from my research in the past.
I run stock TFI distributor, 20 year old MSD blaster coil for a fox and mid 90s MSD 6T box and 12psi and .028 hasn't given me any fuss. still on the original plugs from when I built the combo 3 years ago. have a fresh set gapped and ready but haven't had a reason to swap them.

Sounds great! The fact that a TFI coil lasted that long for you makes me sick..lol. My last one lasted about a year and 500 miles! Got another one ready to put on but based on loose research I’ve done, not sure it’s any better than stock.

Regapped the plugs to .020 and rebuilt a couple of fuel lines to fix the fuel leaks. Didn’t like the way the surge tank fuel pump was about to rub on the bottom of the cab so did some refab work and got it to fit better. Ready to run now but pulled the exhaust apart waiting on the tail pipes to come in. Should be here today so will get started on it this weekend. Bought an x-pipe that surprisingly fit right in place before the mufflers. Off to a good start!
Looking for a set of 3” to 3.5” slash tips. Anybody have a link to anything? I can’t find any..

i think it is because the new stuff is china garbage and 20 year old stuff is a little better quality. id be very hesitant to replace it with something "brand new"

Oh nice, that is the same set-up I have. Thanks for the info on the soft start.

Got everything buttoned up over the weekend. Added an x pipe and bought a over the axle mandrel bent kit off of eBay. Worked ok, but luckily I had other piping to make it work better. Still in trial mode so have a lot of clamps that will be removed and pipes welded. Used some of the exhaust wrap that Jeff gave me a while back to protect the brake lines and wiring on the driver side. Still a little loud but not nearly as bad as it was out the side.

Love that arrangement.
That looks really good. Love the way it turned out.

Trucks been down for a few months having the trans built. Had it completely built with all billet parts, rollerized, upgraded everything. Turns out the damage was minimal so not a lot of metal in the fluid or pan so that was a great thing! Went ahead and built a new exhaust set up with Jones full boar 2 chamber mufflers as the Borlas were too loud. Re- painted and wrapped the headers and plan to stick with the V3 for a while longer. Cranked her up for the first time Monday evening and filled her up with plenty of fluid. Also installed a MSD 6AL that I sent back to MSD and had them go through and fix. Hopefully it will last. Took her on the road Wednesday night and put about 30 miles on the old girl. She’s running great! Shifts are good but not too firm. Was being easy on her to break the trans in. I’ll start getting on it progressively until I reach WOT. But for now just taking my time and making sure everything’s like it’s supposed to be. Will be welding in an H pipe this weekend and found some more seat time.

I want to replicate your surge tank setup to some level on the white truck.

Thanks and no, I sourced and bought all the parts and paid the labor to have it built buy a local professional. I saved about $1600 doing it that way. Its built to be equivalent to the A1 stage 3.

Sure Jeff. Let me know when your ready and I can give you the full rundown.

Loved the Jones Full Boar but too loud and the drone with the dumps was too much for me. Ended up going back to the Walker Quiet FlowSS. Man they sound great inside the truck at the sacrifice of flow and power(I hate giving up power-BTW). No drone and really pretty quiet. Outside is a different story. I think I’m on my 7th exhaust set up now. Absolutely love the sound, just wish it had the flow…
