This gives me hope i should be able to run what i want once i sort all the bugs out. His is more cubes and bigger turbo (408 w/big BW turbo i believe) compared to mine, but the rest of our setups are very similar and im not looking to go quite as fast.
5.8s @ 120mph 1/8th and its still not turned up all the way

Im trying to build everything to handle 1000fwhp reliably, but realisticaly id be happy with 7-750awhp would be plenty. My small turbo will start to choke up pretty quick compared to the big BW stuff, but id rather have the spool over HP..


Pretty sure he dynoed the truck in the video around 9xx awhp, was a vid on instagram lemme see if i can find it. But still dont think hes using all of that yet.

Dang if mine was a lighter 1st gen I might have a chance at dipping further into the 5's. I think I'll barely make a 5.99 with some nitrous added to it.

How big of a rear tire can you fit and what suspension front and back? That would be your limiting factor imo since your ex cab. You should have plenty of power..lol

I think a 325 series would be the widest (with the right rim) and I could probably get a 29" tall one. Front is TRZ control arms and will be Menscer DA shocks...rear is tweaked leaf spring setup...cal-trac bars, custom Calvert leafs, AFCO sliders, and 90* custom shock mounts (also will be Menscer DA shocks)

Should hook pretty decent if you can get everything moving right, the weight distribution and instant torque is the killer tho.
