Default Pics of what I have been up to

Well I decided to make the truck a little more streetable. So I took off the turbo when I blew the bearing out of it trying to make 26#s of boost. So i changed intakes and TBs while i was at it and put on a NX 500 plate system on it too. I changed to the Edlebrock Victor Jr. intake with a Wilson Manifolds 90* elbow with a Holley 105mm TB. How you see it in the picture is how I run it. Open Throttle body. I raced a C6 from a digg on the 22s and beat him by a car length on motor. It still hooks decently leaving from a digg with the 100 pills in it with the slicks and skinnies. Its pretty fun on the street now and the truck likes it alot more too, less heat. And I took out the JL 12W7 out of the center console and out in a factory tahoe center console with the ratchet shifter in the cup holder. Enjoy

You had a turbo on it? I thought you had sold your Livernois kit?

If you're running such a strong setup it's better to take off the filter at the track. I've seen F-bodys that just take the paper filter out of the lid and make .1 seconds better on their 1/4 mile times.

Uuummmm....I think that there is no filter on it bc he wanted to take a good pic of it. I would be shocked if he didnt run a filter on the street. One Wal-Mart bag and its over

YOu mind telling a little about the rachet shifter.
Brand, how the install was, how it feels/works, Do you run a different valve body.
Thanks for the info, and I love the new set-up. Power is'nt anything unless you can fun with it.
