Whatta we have here?


3.4 pulley 112


Hello Beutiful!













Box 2.


Heat exchanger.


All my Comp goodies. I still need pushrods & retainers.


My cam choice 212/218. 1 step over stock, Comp said it'd be good for NA or FI.


1.75 rocker kit w/. 5/16" guideplates. These were supposed to tide me over til I put cam in. Or go on w/. it.


Infamous 918's. I think these are the revised batch. Or maybe the revised, revised.

 

ahhh, looks good

 

Huffer looks sweet Tom, bet that you're dyin to bolt it on! Guess that you want to come out to Jersey and pick on the guy with the tiny cammed 5.3

 

All the Comp goodies were bought yrs ago. I've only had to sit on Radix for 3 L-o-n-g Years.
As it sat on the den floor just lookin at me. Cryin out. Or was that me?!?

3yrs were cause I had to wait til I could pay for & get a great tranny in case Radix breaks my stocker.
I had to wait. I also had to wiat before I could get it paid off while takin care of my other obligations.

 

Wow you went all out. Is that a brand new mp112? When is all this getting installed?

 

Laaaaame.

 

Ya, it is. Even if the warranty is expired cause it sat since '07. Patiently. I have 5 miles to go til beatings, I mean spirited driving (Vince's words), can begin on the converter. After that it's to the strip to better my previous best of 14.8.
Then to dyno. That's how I usu. do things. Throw on a mod, track w/. 3 passes minimum to rule out variances, dyno.

I know some are gonna ask why the 112 since TVS 1900 & 2300 are out. 2 simple reasons:
They weren't out at the time. And what few were, seemed harder than hen's teeth to get!
The price was hard to pass on. I just couldn't justify spending $6K for just a bit more efficiency & lower IATs.

As to timeframe: I wanna do it in summer, fall at latest.

I have a little left to bulletproof driveline. I was thinkin Truetrac, then up in the air fore a week or 2 as to maybe a Eaton LSD. I've since talked to someone who says go w/. Truetrac. Says it's way better than LSD.

I've also checked on driveshaft. So I'm tryin to get all my ducks in a row. I've even considered 4.10s, somethin I never did before. I need to research it a bit more for my appl., but it looks like it'll only spin 250-400R's higher. I'm not lookin for a dragstrip warrior like some on here, but I wanna retain some MPG's as this is my DD.

 

you son of a bitch gonna have a decently fast blue rcsb there, or tire shreader i should say..

I was gonna ask why not the get one of the roush ones for sale, but the 3 LONG YRS sentence explained it..

 

Man I'd love a 112.. Hurry up and get some **** done.

 

skolman, ya it only took me 18 yrs til I bought a new vehicle. 17 if u count the Harley.

That 1st new vehicle was & is this truck. I've always wanted a hot rod; but never guessed it'd be a truck.

So this is a dream come true. It's just in a state of flux.

Handling & Suspension 1st. Driveline durability mods next. Then mod it w/o worry of driveline.

As I throw mods on, I'll always be tryin to improve on that given combo to it's maximum before movin on to next mod.

Cause I wanna run a monster brake cause I love confident, over the top brakin, I also have to do wheel & tires before the brakes.

It's gonna be a long road. But a fun 1.

I wanna run 13's (13.1-13.5). I'd prefer to do w/. Maggie & my 3.42s, & I don't care if I have to change pulleys to do it. If that seems reasonably obtained w/. Maggie, cam, stall & tire, cool. My ultimate goal is 12 FLAT!!!
