Did my first mod.

Installed a Quad 100hp box Tuesday afternoon. I've played with it a little in the 60hp setting, and BOY what a difference. I now need to get some gauges installed in this thing as soon as I can (I think I'm just going to go with a pyro and boost since I don't really tow heavy enough to worry about excessive tranny temperature).

I don't have big plans to BOMB this thing out, but I will probably do the aforementioned gauges as well as an exhaust and intake (undecided on brands right now).

I've got a private track rental I'm going to this coming Sunday (bikes only), so I might see if I can make one pass down the track in the truck just for the heck of it since I'm curious about what it would run. I'm a little nervous about hurting the tranny though, since I can't drop $5K+ on a built tranny right now.

Best pass to date is 8.79 @ 161mph on a ~30hp shot of nitrous (in the Florida heat), and 8.93 @ 157mph on motor (in slightly better weather).

Nice numbers. I've got a couple friends with Busa's. They are both very impressive. One of them just dynoed 272hp with his new mods. I haven't heard what they are or what he is running yet.

i wouldnt run my truck with any module without first adding gauges. the egts stock will get quite high, and with the quad standard will exceed the recommended limits. be careful, i know it is tempting, but excercise restraint with the **** of power until your bases are covered. just my $.02, but what do i know?????????????????............................. .

George definetly throw some gauges in there. You need to know your levels to ensure that you don't damage anything. I run the ISSPRO white faced gauges which match almost perfect to my stock dash lighting.

I have to agree with Dodgezilla get guages then play.

I also have to disagree with not having a transmission temp guage. Stock transmissions are not meant for an extra 100hp and heat up very qucikly at the track.

Thanks guys... I'm going to get some gauges on the way ASAP, and will go ahead and do the ranny gauge also (makes sense to do everything at the same time).
