Hey Colton, before you leave MN you should get up to Duluth! I went to school there and it's a pretty sweet area. There are some good trails north of Duluth too!

 

Start with just the Y, and then you'll be able to notice how each part's gains feel. Look up Lucario Runner's dyno chart in my thread, and you can see exactly how much the URD Y improves the power band from before and after, as the only change. Very impressive gains for N/A actually. To bad automatic transmission dynos have to start at such a high RPM.

That is exactly what I said!

 

Oh yeah! For N/A it is almost a power loss, but I was implying that the S/C won't see as big of gains as a Turbo. Guess I should have specified.

Yeah I find it pretty odd that putting those headers on a dyno wasn't the first thing that Gadget did... I have been debating upgrading the headers and y-pipe since the OEM headers suck and my y-pipe is half crushed, but haven't wanted to drop the coin yet... Hell I am completely stock under the hood still.

Yeah, the saving money thing is hard when you own a toy that you just want to dump more money into...

 

They should be a nice amount over what Lucario Runner's did, N/A. If I was on a computer, I would copy and past the graph here, from my thread.

 

Hahaha that's awesome! Part of me wants to move back to Duluth. You bought a house in willmar? probably about 3.5 hours from duluth. You have a lady friend/wife? if so Solglimt b&b near the lift bridge in duluth is awesome. A drive up the lake superior north shore to grand marais will not dissapoint. Hit goosberry falls, split rock lighthouse ect. That's the Grandmas marathon route too. Hit Canal park and watch a thousand foot taconite laker come in or go out. Hanabi restaurant has great sushi. Enger tower is fun to check out too, that's on the hill in Duluth. idk if you hunt but there is good black bear hunting just north of duluth.

 

This one?

 

Thank you Brady, those are the ones.

Just the y-pipe, without any modification to the flange, picked up ~30 whp and ~25wtq at the end of the RPM range. Pretty freaking good for N/A! And it was hotter that day as well.

 

I need to replace my y-pipe! haha and then get a maf cal for it.

 

lol doesnt mean your truck isnt sick!
im not too much of a fan of halos...but i think i should have bought and installed red halos to wire up with my remote start lol

 

lol yea im done with these...its my last set of lights for sure...
need to finish rear suspension before sending my countersteers to get powdercoated and throwing them on the truck

 

This ^^^^^ also bring some snowmobiles up to grand marais in the winter!

 

pretty sick ride man. Really like your halo lights and that light bar is insane. big fan of your mods. keep them coming. Or mod my truck for me haha.

 

Love your headlights. what do I need to retrofit mine like that? And where do I get it?

 

After pinging while going up a long grade in avg summer temps here while N/A, I ripped that thing out.
Same grade, same temps, same engine N/A, same gas grade and roughly same station type (since I bought the truck I only run chevron or shell highest octane) and very rarely Costco when I'm around town and have a membership. I had no pinging.

Could be coincidence, but I was not happy with taking anymore chances. I contemplated rigging a bypass switch for it in case I found myself in a situation where I may be around another large/long grade and high ambient temps, but ended up selling it instead.

Not having the ability to switch on the fly, or adjust itself for safety just wasn't worth it for me.... I obviously don't miss it now, took out maybe a max of 15hp and bolted on approx 70hp sounds like a decent compromise..... Although I now have Tor, Colton, Matt, and a few others spending my money for me

 

Hey Memmario1214,

How do you like those LR UCA's?

Been doing a lot reading on the suspension posts and I'm thinking about running a 3" OME Lift kit w/ 2" AAL in the rear. can't decide which UCA though. From what I have read a lot of people prefer the TC UCA over the LR UCA.


Wondering what you think man?

Do you think I would be fine with the LR since I won't be doing any rock crawling or hardcore mudding. It will also be a Daily Driver.

How is it working out for you any major defects?
