Still gotta get a good rearend for it. Dont think the little 7.5 will like the 70mph burnouts for long. Especially when i throw some slicks on it. lol.

Gonna do Water meth soon, and pick up Ls6 cam and springs.

Will post pics soon.


heres a teaser vid from today 2nd gear on 5psi. Low timing.

Thats a cool little truck man!

sounds mean too.

These days you just cant underestimate anything anywhere you go!

 

Thanks man. That was just one of the first shakedowns today only on 5psi. And a rough tune. By the time it all said and done im lookin for 20-25 and lots of HP. Shootin for mid 7's or so.

And the 4inch Exhaust out the pass side fender or the FMIC kinda gives it away right away. lol

 

Thats a bad as ride man i bet its gonna haul *** when its all worked out... You lookin for 7's in 1/4?

 

700+ hp. hopin for low 6's in the 1/8th if i can hook it up

 

was that in your driveway? lol.

 

if the 7s is your 1/8th mile goal that monster should do it making that sweet cloud of smoke behind it

 

Nice, looking good!! Can't wait for the first pass!! It looks like 6's are in the near future for you! Congrats!!

 

Thanks. And thanks for the converter its working great. Great quality. We'll see if it'll hold up for whats in store for it in the near future.

 

Sure was. lol. Waiting on some title issues to get cleared up before we cause much of a scene on public roads. lol. Did some high gear roll ons at 70 this evening tho at 10psi. . . Sideways. It sure gets some looks rollin down the road with no core support, hood or grill and the big Snail out there for all to see.
