Default Project 10 second truck.

So,

Over the last 8 years this project has been going on, I have made a few threads.

So, I am finally at the point, where everything is in place, and I am making some good horsepower.

I figured I would share the build thread, for anybody interested to look at

https://xtremeownage.com/index.php?threads/because-racecar.323/#post-22007


List of stuff to do before it hits a drag strip:

1. Add a proper gas pedal.
2. Need a driveshaft custom made.
3. Add a few gauges, and some warning lights.
4. Remove the factory fuel tank. Its extra weight, and has 6 year old gas inside of it.
5. Acquire some sticky tires, and 6-lug axles for the 14bolt.

266 views. Not a single comment. You guys are a tough crowd.

At least somebody say Nice, or, your truck sucks....

Nice project you've got going.

FWIW, copy and pasting some of the highlights here could have increased your response rate. Easy consumption is key when people are using phones to view the content a larger % of the time. If ppl have to navigate away, then come back to comment, it's a lot less likely to happen.

Either way, don't be discouraged. Keep up the good work.

I am getting that from the LS1Tech side too.

I just posted everything back on my board to keep it clean, and organized. I always hate reading through somebody else's build, and having to skip through 5 pages of comments to get to the next set of pictures!!

Agreed, lol.

Well, in either case, My link should give a nice, clean presentation... And, should be pretty to the point.

Now, to just get a new chrome-moly driveshaft made up, and to turn the boost up.

I am going to try and avoid that route.

Twice as many pieces to maintain, and/or break.
