Finally have some numbers for the new build

Re: Finally have some numbers for the new build

Get in on the GP for the battlebars that Chris is doing. If your that quick now, imagine what you'd do with those on there

Gotta have leaf springs in the rear though to use them.

Not hiding any secrets here. Anything you wanna know, ask, if I don't know I am sure there is someone on here that can fill in the blanks.

And that's why I admire people like you. For those of us who are somewhat of the same build to see what we might do when its together.

Course, I'm going to be running about 8-10 more lb's of boost.. :lol:

Good luck with hitting 10's. :tup:

Re: Finally have some numbers for the new build

I get the same looks all the time. I think it's because all the car mags make such a huge deal out of the exotics and other "fast" cars that run in the 3 sec range 0-60. They can't believe a GM S truck is actually faster LOL. Once they get a ride their tune quickly changes, though. I never get tired of looking at all the performance inspired cars that cost $100k+ that I can slaughter to at least 130mph.

i agree completely! one of the best example i can think of is the bugatti. think about it...... a $1million 16 cylinder car with 4 turbos doesnt accelerate as fast as a single turbo 280 cu in V6 truck! well our old truck anyways!

That run was on base boost. I have not turned it up yet. I plan on running a progresive ALKY kit and 26-28 PSI on the street. Thats next month though. Working on a bolt in cage right now so I can go back to my local track


George - Yes, I have been thinking about the battle bars but also talking with Jeff about a triagulated 4 link in the rear. Still have not made up my mind yet though. Thanks for the input.
