Well i have been creepin on this site for about a year now and finally became a member about two months ago, I live in yukon oklahoma. My truck is a 97 single cab shortbed 5spd chevy, I have had it about 2yrs and havent gave it any attention untill here resently when i sold my 2003 chevy 3/4ton with a whipple on it.



I put a new motor in the truck about a month ago, the motor is a .030 over vortec 350 with dished probe pistons, Comp Nitrous Hp 224/236 .502 520 cam, heads have been cut for cam, ported and new valve, and comp roller rockers, intake is a marine mpi intake. The truck has a rebuilt nv3500 about 6months ago "wondering when it going to give up with the new power", and has caltracs in the rear, stock rearend for now.

Last week i just put a wipple supercharger on with an air/water intercooler, i havent drove it because of bigger injectors it wont idle now waiting to get my computer back from nelson performance. Hopefully it runs good

Let me know what you think, i know its not going to be remotely fast compaired to most trucks on here, im hoping for a 12.999 think its capable with this setup?

 

Cool truck man. Welcome to the site. I've got a 355 short block I need to finish. Wana go turbo with it sometime. How much boost are you supposed to run? 5-6lbs??? I think you could click off a high 12.

 

charger made 9lbs on the truck i bought it off of, he had bought the smallest pulley they make for it when they still made them, it was on a ht383, so hopefully mine makes a little more being a smaller motor

 

Nice man. You might see 11-12 out of it. That's going to be fun

 

I had the that setup on my 96' 2wd I had. It was a tire shredder and fun as heck to drive! It did kinda fall on it's face up top though

 

The factory motors do fall on their face after 5k

 

I havent drove it with the blower but it pulls alot harder on topend then a stock 350 does, but hopefully it doesnt with the blower, i wouldnt think it would though

 

The cam you have is pretty close to what I have. I've spun mine to 6500 and it never felt like it was falling off. I had a 142 roots blower and it pulled extremely hard to 6500. You'll have a blast

 

thanks man, im ready to get the tune on it I got it in the mail todady, ready to put it and my gauges on and rod on this thing.

 

Nice looking truck!
