But guys every chip defueals at 3200 rpm! That your peak hp right there then it starts falling off pretty hard.
:blahblah1:The 4,000 RPM tune rocks and for the guys that say get the Bullydog...... Well you see how many guys that compete with thier trucks run Smarty's and not bullydog and there's a good reason..
the cr trucks running more then 108. they never make use of more then 3200 rpm ? does every single street truck running low 11s have a gear vendors over drive? find that unlikley
I said no. By the time I hit the 1000ft mark I'll just be coming out of 3rd gear ready for OD. Of course 37" tires and 3:73 has something to do with that. One of the reason I put the gate shifter in my truck is to help hold each gear. If I try to hold 2nd past 3000 to 3200rpm's, I'm out of the power band and loosing the race. My top speed has been 112mph
I don't have any scientific data to back this up, only dyno runs, so here it goes.
Maybe the smarty defuels, maybe it doesn't- but the power drop after 3200 or so is definitely not all smarty related. Changing out the stock exhaust manifold for Bodie's header netted some significant gains from 3200-4000 rpms. Power still fell off with the header, but not nearly as sharply. It was more of a taper off than a drop off.
in summary, I'm thinking this may be more than just a programming issue.
You are one of the few crazies that drag race on 37's and are actuality fast. your an exception with gearing due to tires. there are pleny for folks with stock or smaller then stock tires that manage to run faster then 108. due they have gearing changes?

JP, the problem that the OP and I have is that at 3500rpm's my truck stops!!! No more RPM's unless I hold it in gear, I am not disputing the power loss after 3300, but thta my truck WONT go over 3500 in auto.
BTW, I might get a header too!!!:bang
Man that's odd to me...I'm in 4th with the TC locked right at the 660 mark....also trapping around 112.
