Damn nice numbers, and like others have said those dudes were stupid. Not strapped down near enough and horrible location to sit or stand.

986 is pretty stout on only 11 lbs. Probably similar to what I was making at 22 psi. Should be wicked once you turn it up.
Totally agree... I told the people I was with there to stand way back because of this. The driveshaft is high speed balanced but I still don't trust them. Seen too many come out.

They just opened up the shop and had barely installed the dyno the day before so I just wanted to show my support. I'm sure they will fix that here quick.
Yea always keep your truck safe. Falls to you. Cool supporting the shop, and bad *** numbers for sure.

I've seen a driveshaft go flying bad mojo there.

How's the truck from a dig? With those turbos?

My front shaft comes in Tuesday so I'll be doing some 4 hi launches here pretty soon. Reason why I haven't posted a lot of street running videos, truck is useless in 2wd.

What I used for bolts were those stud type transmission bolts, the one that are a m10 1.50 on one side and like a m6 on the other. That let me replace the stock bolts on both sides of the block and add a stud to mount the coil bracket to. Hopefully that makes sense, if you need better pics I'll get them for you.

Your truck is simply amazing! I don't know how you manage the time to make everything that clean. I used to be **** like that until the kids started coming. Now that I have 5 I don't even care when they eat in my truck anymore.

I really like how you deleted the coolant tank for more space. How has that worked out? Any issues? I might copy you on that one if you had no problems.

Great truck!

Thanks lol, I just take my builds step by step. Plenty to improve on but I get it done piece by piece when I have the time.

I been running a deleted coolant tank for a few years now and I have yet to have any kind of issue. I live here in South Texas so 100+ degree weather is very common and never even got close to overheating even when racing. Saves a lot of space... I believe I posted what parts I used in one of the older posts would have to go back and check but very easy to do.

Well any 2wd runs are out of the question... good thing is I can do a rolling brake boost fairly easy. Turbos light off pretty good.
