Long time coming...

Got all of the kinks worked out of the truck over the summer and have been driving it around.

Just got new seats, carpet, mounts, and sound deadener to install. Still waiting for the Atomic race seat mounts to show up.Found a small fuel leak in my feed line, so took this time to get the interior going while I wait for PTFE line to show up.





Once I wrap seats up, sending the blower in to Jokerz for a full Port/polish and open the inlet up to 102mm for my 5" intake.

Truck took a back seat as I built my new baby... Best purchase in my adult life thus far!!! Got me a welder too setup now too, so much more fun to come...



More to come

Actually in Bastrop just outside Austin.

Seats are Sick Speed. Could've gotten any main brand for same price, wife wanted these seats because they matches the truck exterior.

Can't wait to get blower done and drop pulley to get more than 9-10lb boost. Should see around 13 with new 2.6" pulley after snout is milled. I'll be done with performance after that, and focus on GN again.

I thought the stock snout could take a 2.6 pulley

I have a 2.9 on currently and can't get a finger nail in between pulley and snout.

I am running a 2.8 currently. I have spoken to a few that say it requires no mods. maybe the ribs are inset deeper? with that seat you got are you gonna run a harness? if so can you mount it to the floor or do you need a bar?

I had a custom MPS made for quick swap pulleys, so possible that changed a bit. I'll mill so I can run 2.5 if I choose tho.

I'm running harness, but just to Atomic mounts. Won't be to code, but will keep me from dying in the event I smash a wall... Is the plan anyways

Well, got the new carpet and seats wrapped up finally. Not a big fan of the pre formed carpet I ended up with, as it didn't form the truck well... But we made it work and looks light-years better.

Old carpet

Fresh paint

Quick pic after install.

I will get better pics later, once the new floor mats show up and I find a harness that's long enough to attach to base of mounts.

Pulling fuel line out now to replace and move FPR to engine bay. Then test drive with hopefully far less drone in cabin.

looks good. The brackets and seats look great. I am interested in what harness you choose but I think I will only run one seat at the track as I just had the expense of recovering mine in leather.
