The experiment failed

Drove it last night. Have cut off alot of weight from the front. Skinned fenders and hood, relocated battery, ECM, and fuse panel. When i hit the gas the tires plant and it's great.

When it shifts the tires unload as fast as they loaded. The rear end steps out about 2 feet then the tires load again and all is great until the next shift.

Not even gonna try to run it on a track.

Back half, 4 link, qa1 coil overs, and narrow 9 will be going in shortly.

1.) I'm just honestly glad that you didn't crash the truck and kill yourself/others, over an "experiment."

2.) People on here do know what they're talking about. Just a word of advice for future endeavors.

A lot of guys just use the motor from leaf blowers. It's a whole lot easier to tune than roots.

They all come with the lower manifold attached to the blower.
