There is no way all of those people have the rattle...
I personally do not know of one...
It just seems like a few of these options are being "abused"...
But hey...choices are choices.

Another thing I noticed about the TNT is how it holds boost between shifts on my manual. If im wanting to accelerate quickly it will hold about 5-8psi between shifting which is really nice when your banging gears with a big turbo.
No my clutch doesnt slip the way I drive. I'm just saying my truck is far far away from lighting the tires up in 4th at 50mph like some guys have reported.

If I would have tried that in 4th(prob 2500rpm) it would have just drained my rail instantly even with the pressure box on. If my trucks over 2200-2300rpm in gears 1-5 theres no point in trying I just get the "pop". How ever if I roll into it at 1900 she runs great up to redline.
Thats at
Catcher 9 and default settings.
And before I get flamed I have the fuel system etc

I had to use the lower timing to eliminate the "popping"...
I like the benefits of the timing (as long as it is not too much) and never got the timing rattle... right now the truck idles smooth as glass...

I am running the 4.2 program with a ts preasure box turbo spools ok and it rains out the coal. I have been reading all of the replys and not sure if the tnt will be noticible difference on my truck or not if it would be what settings should I run and also should I leave the preasure box off??? my rail preasure is in check still so that is good. some insite would be great. I guess looking to get the most power out of it, dont care about milage..

To stop the "popping", my truck sounded like a gasser back firing and would stumble every time it happened. It was not a timing rattle I was trying to stop, it was the one huge pop I would get that I would not live with.

Justin, If you have the 04 305/555, you might want to stick w/ the 4.2 until some of the bugs get worked out of the TNT. There's a few trucks that love the 4.2/4.3 but don't seem to function correctly w/ the TNT, mine is one of them.

Mine doesn't seem to like it either. Hey tcr, i assume you have tried the 4.4 also. With my mods, would you suggest 4.2 or 4.3?

4.2 nets me the most power, the best milage, and is very drivable w/ my tranny. Believe it or not I leave it on level 1 and turn up the quad's pressure for a race, closed course race that is!

Thanks man, I think I'm gonna request the 4.2 from Bob. What are the power levels on the 4.2? Does it do a 30hp-170hp layout or is it more extreme? I am liking the 4.4 on sw5, so maybe I will stick to that to see the differences.

4.2 for the most part is just like 4.4 except with less TM... touchier throttle, less linear.
