This was painful to watch... 400whp huh?

fully built 2.2 or not, a 3.3 pulley on a TVS is hardly pumping any CFM. Your not even revving out high enough to take advantage of the pulley.

hey meth, but remember he said in the video that he was susprised that the swap from the m62 with 2.9 to the harrop with 3.3 caused him to ahve to pull fuel and he's still running the same tune as he was with the 2.9, lol

Honestly watching that video again, starting from 35, I think my truck pulls harder than that till I hit 110,

found out the engine was not balanced fully and eventually jus caused the piston to slap the sleeve on cylinder 3 i caught it early enough wher it only did damage to that sleeve...but its all good now bought new sleeve, and pistons and had it bored .20 over to get the waves out of the walls and sum other things done..now brian is going paint happy lol

understandable; it happens. what drives me insane is ppl swapping pistons around and wondering why it blows up a few thousand later... something that happened ALOT when this platform was still in it's early stages.
