Hey guys, just finshed(sorta) a sm465 swap. I say sort of because I need to pull it apart again and figure out what the hell is making noise once the trans warms up. Anyway, with the standard the truck is a slug. I guess it's mostly not having a converter and the gear ratios being so far apart. I am aquiring a TE06H off of ebay and I'm currently running a banks sidewinder setup. The Truck basically builds little to no boost until roughly 2000 rpm. Once up to speed it will build 8-10 psi, which you can feel fairly well in the seat of your pants. With the sm465 and the 3.73s the truck basically drops back down to above idle range with each shift. Do you think I will be able to feel the difference with the "new" turbo? My egt's have dropped almost 200 degrees with the standard, I might try turning the injection pump and see if that helps. Let me know about your past experiences....
Thanks,
Mike Pascino
