I'm no auto guy, but I would just hold your brake while building boost. As soon as I saw about 15psi boost, I'd drop the brake and push the go pedal through the floor. Does that sound right auto guys? :hehe:

yep sounds about right make up a lock up switch. You will hit 2nd almost right away then maybe 3rd but doubtful with 3.55s. I hold the brake and dont look at the gauge just go by feeling. Pulling with an auto is easy and easier on the truck to IMO

Git a Drag comp. My truck with 150's, 64/71/14,drag comp and tight converter ran really good last year. Depending on track conditions depends on what gear you should run.

Loose track, Third gear locked converter.

I have a dana 80 now i snaped to dana70 axles and had enough of that

 

[Blackdog]

That is why I thought I would ask.

 

[ramtough01]

I dont get why the dodges with diesels didnt all come with dana 80s in them

 

[bahdiesel2001]

i still got a dana 70

 

[2001cummins]

Make a set of traction bars.

 

[bahdiesel2001]

yeah i plan on getting some and weight box

any idea on what turbo i heard on cummins forum that a silver bullet will get too toasty? any other ideas or where i can get one like a s465

 

[revolutiondsl]

a silver bullet would run pretty good but they have a hard time passing tech sometimes. They are a little more streetable then a S465 it seems

 

[bahdiesel2001]

ok so a s465 would be to laggy

 

[2001cummins]

I think on an auto it would be.

 

[bahdiesel2001]

o ok well i talked to ED and i got it figured out
