Nice truck man.... Glad to see you are making good 60' times on the street tires..

Your truck is excatly like mine in alot of ways... just not my motor.... YET.

I am going to be putting an intercooled STS kit w/ methanol on my truck here pretty quick... I seriously cant Wait!


Don't let anyone rash you about the heavy SCSB... my truck's gotta weigh at least 4700 lbs.

BTW- what size tires are you running? 265/35? or 40 series?? and what brand?

Are you running a stall(probably been asked)?? how do the tires hook up on the track?? Do you have a locking differential or posi in the rear?... let me kow, cuz I'd love to have 60' times like that when I run my truck fully loaded on the track.

Im 'hoping' to make it to firebird tonite for mph runs. They dont prep fridays so 60 fts will be terrible.

my truck has 373s with the locking diff. No stall, not needed with this charger, but recommended (small) for the STS kit. My tires are 285-35-22s

I dont mind that my rcsb is heavy...I built it this way. I never intended on an all go truck. Im show & go

Yes and no. The older roots superchargers were not as efficient as the Magnuson.

OK now explain SMOKED THEM ALL. The last time I checked a 13.7(which was the other Xtreme truck) was still faster than a 13.8. As far as the others go, 1 to 3 tenths of a second does not constitute a smokin' of anything. I am not saying that Todds truck is not quick, but please inform us of all the ones he "smoked" and what they had done and their times.
sorry, forgot about the 13.7 done on slicks and light wheels... good comparison to todds 400 lb heavier car on 22s...

if youre that hurt about losing to him, then offer a rematch and go try and beat him again... its not my truck so I dont really care who beats him or who doesnt... as for the rest, I found it spectacular that Todd went out in 100% full weight street trim and 22s with a setup he had for literally a couple days and ran faster then 90% of the silverados out there, including other shop trucks... and after I finish his truck you can bet he will be leaving them even harder!
