Rims??? What did you finally decide on? Something strong and light?

Wastegate! No kidding that thing is huge!

Good luck getting it all together.

 

Sorry if im not up to date here but........What turbo are you running now?
Id also like to know how much they said your tranny will hold.
What are you shootin for now? 9's? hehehe!
Lookin nice man!

 

chuck didn't really put a set number on that tranny but i bet i get to over 1000hp with it. i hit 1000rwtq last trip to the dyno and it held that. i told chuck someday i might be shooting for 1500rwhp. he seems to think there may be a few issues to work thru before it will last at that level but doesn't know for sure what they will be till it fails. he is comited to making the badest 4l80e anywhere. he thinks swaping a 4l80e into hotrods will be a popular thing to do in the future and i agree, it is all ready prety populur.

the best thing about chuck is how he works thru problems. he doesn't try and lay the blame on anyone, he just looks at what failed and makes it better. i have seen posts of people killing a built tranny and the tranny shops sugestion was to turn down the power. chuck wont ask you to turn down the power.

i am running a pte88 turbo now and still have the nitrous hooked up in case i feel like geting nuts. rims are a basic 6 spoke. hope to be running in 2weeks.

i have a tracking number on the motor now and the tranny is here. still need the hot parts fixed up for that monster gate but that is all i am waiting on now.

 

Do you think the new wheels/tires will be lighter?
What have you done to the Steering?/Rear axle/Tcase? i just dont see how your getting that much power to the wheels and not slinging parts off left and right!!
Very sweet *** truck man, I was inspired buy your truck about a year ago and was going to turbo my dodge but I totaled it, now I have the Colorado and will soon be raping it. Great work man!

 

tcase is from a 3/4 ton truck. front and rear are stock and will probably explode soon. i think they have survived this long because of my lack of traction.

 

Any update on progress.

 

i think you could probably build your rear to take the power for now, but swapping to the 9.5" rear from the 05' and newer 2wd SS/VHO trucks would add some room. eventually the front diff is going to become useless. are you planning to use a stiffer spring in the rear to try to keep the front planted? this seems to be the way to go in front wheel drivers and i'd guess in your case it may be of help.


btw, nice wastegate. sometimes you just need a bigger hole.
