youve used this truck to learn and figure out what you want and how to do it, sell it for whatever you can get and get a nicer unmolested truck to make what you want!!

 

If you want it to be a street truck I also vote for finding a clean truck and swapping your stuff into it. It will probably be way less headache than trying to fix everything on the old one.

 

i vote race truck, looking at what u have achieved in a street truck i can only imagine what you would do with a full race truck, maybe reset the record

 

For those that vote race truck, feel free to donate money for a TT BBC, trailer, and tow truck!

Heres some pics of the blower and the intercooler, kind of cool. Also got my 8 rib pulley in the mail yesterday, looks sweet! Big thanks to mike at New Era for the help!





And for those wondering what the internal oil and transmission coolers on the radiators look like:

 

it's amazing how small the outlet from the screws is, after all the work with bigger throttle bodies and huge intakes, just to have a 2 inch triangular hole in the end.

 

Yea it is pretty suprising. The outlet size determines the internal compression ratio of the blower. The larger the hole, the lower the compression ratio since the air has less length of the rotor path to compress. A lower compression ratio is better for lower boost, generally 0-15psi, and a higher CR is better for high boost, 15-30psi. Most bigger blowers have 2 or 3 different configurations for a given blower.

 

Learn something new everyday. That's interesting.

 

Any updates?

 

I finished porting the lower manifold and painted it black. Not sure how much the porting will help but I feel better about it. I bought a new cam, one of the ones TSP was selling super cheap, its a 218/239 115 I think. Should work better when that time comes, but im still curious to see what my current cam feels like with the blower.

I got a 102mm tb off ebay ($100) that I am very happy about, it looks really nice. The body is a billet piece and it mates up almost perfectly to the ported inlet on the blower. I also bought some stuff to make a 6" inlet to the blower using the filter I had on my turbo for a while, that will look funny haha.

I am getting married in sept, a friend of mine and my sister are getting married in May, so pretty much every weekend for the next 5 months is accounted for so progress will be slow.

 

Taking the vows huh? Congrats man!
