Heys guys, I've been Surf'n round on here in the background for a few days now. Look likes some cool rides dwelling among us.

My Dually is a '94 Ford crew. It has a mild 557ci (plus L&L headers, Voodoo cam, etc.) with SDS injection. I had the tranny built and control it with a programmable Trans controller. I plan to drop it just a little but not dumped. My buddy just gave me 6 22.5 wheels that had sit'n around. I still have not decided if I am gonna actually use them. It rides so nice on 16s...

I will post some Pics later....

I say mild 'cause it doesn't need any more than 4000rpm to yank it around like a rag doll.

I actually gained 2 MPG over the 460. With full control over timing, fuel, locking the tran to make Overdrive a gear instead a weak spot to burn it up, you can gain more than just power. I get about 13-14 mpg if I can control my foot. It's just so hard to resist the urge to stab it and boil the tread. I can literally just tap the peddle and pitch it sideways. Lots of fun. I have been thinking of building a Turbo setup for it next. You never know when you may need more power.

Yah the trans is the factory rebuilt (upgraded everything) with a Baumman TCS to tune it. It has a cruising tune, a towing tune, and Manual shift (off the cruise control buttons) tuned in. No more of the dragg'n BS that Ford does and it tows my 32 foot race trailer like a train. I don't have to shift out of OD 'cause it's locked in as 4th gear... Towing a trailer at 80mpg and being able to take over cars without downshifting is unreal...
