I've been running this stack, with everything on kill, for a couple of days. Feels much stronger than just the PPE alone. Boost is higher and it comes on sooner. The twins are handling the extra fuel without any noticable smoke. I installed a lift pump, but haven't ran with it yet. No 1093's yet. This stack is very streetable, even seems to help with the touchiness of the PPE.

The tranny is shifting great, I think it's learning the extra power, and hopefully will be trained with this power for tomorrows track sessions. It feels most beneficial(for the trans) to be able to run around all the time at this power level, instead of going to the track and hitting the N2O. Most likely will have the fifth gear laydown, but keeping my fingers crossed.

Hopefully times will back up my seat of the pants meter, but will post them either way.

I think you would be better with a stack like the xcellerator/enforcer. From what I understand the VA allows more boost which is why it performs so well on stock turbos. IN your case (with twins) you would benefit from a setup that gives you more fuel such as the xcellerator and enforcer.

If you'd like to try the enforcer give me shout. Maybe we can trade for a few days. I'd like to try the VA box and I have an enforcer.

Max, I'm borrowing the VA from mwgasman. If it was mine, I'd send it to you. I'll be shipping him the VA and my PPE for him to test next week. I would like to test the enforcer/ppe stack. It would be sweet if the LLY guys could get a tuner swap going. The venders won't like it, but our wallets and wives would.

We can work something out, no problem.:grd:
I am interested in trying the Edge/Attitude if possible.

That is the stack Pat ran the best in Big Blue but still had the 5th gear lay down:(

Good luck at the track:grd:

Idahorob,and fellas I should have my truck back first of next week, (I was on the phone with Joe from ppe and my wife heard me talking about the "INCEDENT"-:t (turbo) as it is now known at the household,) she said Im crazy, I told her thats what keeps me from going insane though, let me know how the timing is , any rattle with the VA box stack, might be interested in trying to expell a few more ponies out of the lb7, if I can keep the hair dryer from blowing up

Ran the PPE/VA and the Predator/VA stacks last night. Major trans slippage so results aren't perfect. Ran 6 times. Had the truck lay down in fifth only on the first run. Ambient Temps ranged from 99 to 88 degrees

Run / 60 / 1/4 / MPH

#1 1.813 13.822 95.27 (5th lay down) PPE/VA
#2 1.860 13.414 106.33 PPE/VA
#3 1.838 13.388 106.73 PPE/VA
#4 1.864 13.425 106.44 PPE/VA
#5 1.839 13.651 104.44 Predator/VA
#6 1.792 13.340 105.78 PPE/VA

The PPE/VA is stronger by the seat of the pants meter, and the times back it up. I think N2O would like the PPE/VA better also.

Did you run the bigger tires Rob? It looks like the traction off the line was pretty good for the 60' times you ran.

The back spacing didn't fit. Sorry about having to dig them out for nothing. I'm starting to get the feel for the converter, but feel that it's mostly the extra power helping with the 60's. I was launching at a lower RPM and not spinning much, if any.
