What might the "recent events" be? Did somebody put it on ya', or **** ya' off telling you what can't be done??? And what's up with the twins? I'm sure if you're planning on running one off each bank and revamping the whole kit...that people would be lining up to buy the one you're already running. That thing is a Beast, I can't wait to hear what kinda numbers you lay down on the Dyno.

Are you going to be dyno it at Dynosport?? If so I would like to see it in in person again to see it in action. If you don't mind me asking what time are you goin to dyno it? I assume it is lunch time or after he is never there early lol that is if it is in Lincoln.

i might as well spill the beans. i am 99% sure i have a CASH paying sponsor lined up. we have some details to work out but things are looking good, i have never done anything like this so i really dont know how it will all work out. i am sure if i get someone giving me cash to help build my truck there will be a few negative guys throwing out some crap but what would you do if someone offered to give you some cash to do what you love to do. we are not talking about a pile of money but it is enough to get me thinking a little bigger than i was thinking.

the new hot parts from cmotorsports are working great. i probably have 1000miles on them and no issues at all. i pulled a best mph in the high 124's with boost only and this is a 4800lb brick so you know i must be making some hp. my problem now is i want more. nothing in as adictive as boost. nitrous does not compare.

Sam at cmotorsports has taken killer care of me thru this turbo build up and i will run this kit till winter hits. i might even try some other turbo on there just to see how it does, something like a gts76 or whatever that turbo is. i am dreaming big hp numbers though and eventualy will be steping up to a twin set up. if i was in vegas i would try and get him to build me a custom twin kit and i bet he would do it, it sounds like they have some mean projects going on there. It is going to be fun seeing what the 408 that he built for me will take. i bet that short block would handle 1400rwhp.

go look at harlens set up in the FI section and that is what i would like to do. basicaly twin shorty headers right into the turbos. T4 framed units but not sure on the size, might just get another 76, i would never have to upgrade with that but it might be real laggy. twin 3.5" DP's and a LARGE intercooler. i am debating on geting someone to build me a set up or geting a tig and trying it myself. i think i could do it but there are some prety good local fabricators in town too.

I figured something had to be up, CONGRATS, I hope it works out for you. Jealousy will eat at some for sure, but you work hard for this ****, it ain't like you bought your way to this point. I look forward to seeing it progress, and I doubt you'll hear many negative comments around here. Good luck!

if you hear negativity--most of it comes from jealousy.

Anyone who gives you any negativity over a sponsorship is a jackass and only envyous! Most sponsors aren't going to give up the coin unless you earn it..

Personally I am surprised nobody pony'ed up before now.. Lets face it you have the 1/4 mile NBS LS1 truck record.. And you have held it for awhile.. It is obviously a very difficult record to break or it would have been done by now..

I am glad someone out there recognized your efforts! I am looking forward to seeing what you do with it..

Congrats!
