Evergreen 3DLZ Raptor - Page 3

Alan L · Alan L's Garage

I was in the passenger seat during a dyno run. The engine was screaming at 6000. I got out and stood at the back. Terrifying - since I built it.
You don't hear that stuff on the track while driving it. It scared me to death and I was so glad when it was over and my engine still was in one piece.

Thanks for closing the loop here. Dyno’s are hard to compare against anything other than themselves on the same day. More importantly, how does it drive? What boost spring are you running?

I am running a mid-1990s 7006 that was the hotness back then… I’m waiting for it to die so I can get one of these Raptor upgrades, but it just keeps soldiering on.

It drives great, strong linear pull from just over 3000rpm on up and rarely feels like I’m in between gears. I have not done anything with the boost spring, still factory.

Agreed, cool of you to circle back here and provide update years later on the upgrade.

Seems quite healthy, but begs the obvious question: which type dyno?

Consider an intercooler (at the least) and headers (if within budget / ability) to round out a REALLY usable / tangible set of upgrades to make it a suuuuper great driver. You're welcome

This was a Dynojet. I want to keep it as close to stock as possible so I don’t think I’ll do anything else until it needs a rebuild, at which point I may put in SC cams.
