Went for a spin last night with my Jeep hooked up. Felt good, basically knocked everythimg back a gear. Only concern I had is 50-60mph, revving in 4th or lugging (grade dependent) in 5th.

What would be the max RPM you'd feel comfortable pulling a long grade with? Hoping I can leave it in 5th and let it do work to hold speed at 2000, but if I need to drop a hole and spend 2-3 miles at 2500 to hold 65mph, is that an issue? Being the industrial engine it is, I would think not.

The BBB would scream all day at 2500... (63 mph with no grades)  ;D

Chadley once told me that 3000 shouldn't be a problem...

For a stock 12v, 2500 rpm will be fine.

I did that a couple of times with mine. I had to turn off O/D (auto) to keep the smoke and egt in check when towing uphill on shitty batch of wmo.

interesting.

i was keeping mine under 2300 always. running it up would help my EGT and keep boost down slightly. probably best with the blowby thats starting

Not at all. Let's expand this discussion out to delivery valves and injector HP ratings as well.

Yes, get the 4kgsk.

If you want, leave out the smallest spring from the kit to make it a 3kgsk, so that way you have the spring needed to make it a 4kgsk later.

Since yours' trans is manual, so the stronger valve springs will be good idea to prevent valve floating when overrevved or if running an exhaust brake.

On the auto, the trans (when the shifter is in "D", that is) will always shift before ~3000 rpm so the valve springs are not a huge concern for auto guys (like me).

On my truck, I need bigger turbo even with the original stock 180hp injectors. I did the AFC spring kit from TST, along with rack travel mod, 16* timing advance, 2095 Mack plug, and of course no fuel plate, the truck will hit ~48-50 psi of boost easily and unregisterable high egt to boot. Currently running a custom grinded stock fuel plate close to #100 profile to keep thee egt and boost in check (~1400*F, ~35psi max).

I want more power but I want to do some more magic to my auto trans first. I really think there's some performance can be made with better converter and some other stuff.

At bare minimum I want the trans to have billet 300m input shaft and triple disk converter installed then I'll like to put a s475 under the hx35 or so. My goal is to have a cool running 500-600 hp or so. Yeah... Down the road...

Definitely 4k. You don't need to use it but it'll be there an flexibility is nice. I'd do a 3500 if it existed but it doesn't.

Chadley is a fan of huge DVs and letting the injectors catch up quicker. I don't know enough about DVs to have a real opinion but it makes sense to me. I think he's told me he would put full cuts on just about anything.

This thing hogs sweet with the new tires. 60mph was 1900 in 5th, usually dropped to 4th for speeds much lower than that. Not much of my trip is done at those speeds so it was fine.

I was doing 60-62mph peaking couple of the long hills. On the way back, I realized that this seems to be because at the throttle position I would need to hold 70, I am spooling to 30+psi with what feels like minimal increase in power beyond that. Also, I seem to blow the boot at the intercooler intake at long pulls of 30psi, so I try to avoid doing that. Having that in my head may have also contributed to my lack of sufficient throttle useage.

Interwebs say WH1C and HX35 are basically interchangeable. Might look for charts on each to compare, but I'm leaning towards rebuilding my WH1C vs Mike's HX35.

Will bigger turbo back on help keep intake pressure lower, but cooler?
Why am I blowing that boot consistently, despite having cleaned ALL oil from that area and cranking the shit out of the clamp?

I hate the jinx myself, but this truck is rapidly approaching the "I would change nothing" asymptote

Those are gonna work better than these (what I have now)?

Worth the money to get a silicone boot/clamp kit? If the boot isn't tearing, how is silicone better?
