Hey thanks...

yea updates are regular, but this thread has gotten so damn long, that most people have stopped following the build, so instead of posting every little mod or upgrade, I am posting several at a time.
Right now we are getting ready to do the hydroboost setup, the new jackshaft 2300 is being built, I am starting in on the system and interior.

Me and my neighbor (custom woodworking shop) are building a new center consol and speaker box... to house 2 JL TW5's (13" subs - thin), along with a couple of amps.

more updates and pics later.

for more boost, we are going with a cog drive in the back - overdriven - and a 10 rib out front... i want to see at least 14psi+ on this motor from the beginning.

Congrats on the upgrade man. If my last year hadn't been so expensive with only one income I'd be buying a 2300 myself.

Part of the reason it is one of a kind is because of, uh, the paint job?

ahhh go easy on him Sandog... no matter what you do or what you spend, you can never please everyone!
I built it for me, i dont care so much if someone doesnt like it, i just care that people can appreciate the hard work and effort to build something like this.


The truck is going to SEMA this year under WILWOOD's representation, and the day it gets back from SEMA is the day the mods will officially STOP on this truck.
