XPOTRPR build & BS

These just came in..

Gonna paint the rings white to match my dash rings. The white faces will match the soon to be here white gauge cluster face



The mount for them should be here today as well.

Fuel pumps showed up buy needed a signature so they will be able to be picked up Frida.. hopefully in time for the install.

Exhaust will be here Saturday.

Still waiting for my dash gauge face to be shipped out.

Headlight lens coating will be here the 3rd

 

Sounds like first world problems.

 

It is...

 

Noms!

 

These fuckers are gonna be a bitch to install.. gonna have to have a place drill and weld the sensors into the exhaust.

 

An example of what the valve body upgrade will do... my truck wont be this quick, as this is Super Werty's built truck, but the shifting should be close if not the same.


This is Werty's truck before and after the upgrade..

One day... I shall do the valve body upgrade...

 

What exactly does it do?

 

Watch the videos, note transmission shift speeds (auto trans)

 

Damn you really are throwing some big money around on the truck.

 

factory trans is made to be a smoother comfortable granny type of shift for most automatic vehicles.

This means they are built with an amount of slip. This does create heat, and heat kills transmissions.

The valve body upgrade makes shifts faster, a bit firmer, and lessens heat generated due to the prior slipping.

Throw XXX amount of extra hp/tq behind our stock auto trans, and the trans will shit the bed much faster than if u remained n/a.

FWIW, the blown Tundras are "expected to have transmission problems".

Even if our trucks have the manual trans, ur next weak link is the clutch.


U just cant throw on another 100hp and not run into problems.

Id be surprised if simply installing the blower, a 2.85 pulley, headers, intake, y pipe, and a 3" exhaust cant create 100+hp.

 

Doooo iiiit!!!

See below..
