yea, originally we had a 265/150, we were playing with sizing to try and keep ICP. since going to the thumper 2, that hasn't been a problem

so after a slight issue with one injector plug (my own fault for rushing)
I have one side back together, should have the other side buttoned up by the end of this week. and since my 66 had some shaft play and after talking to James at Barder turbo, a new 66sxe is on the way. hope to give the truck a little more pep and really looking forward to just driving and enjoying this thing
one other change coming to this truck this year, but were going to hold off until all the details are finalized

truck runs and drives, chasing an injector contribution right now, waiting for an injector harness and one last item to show up. we have be jamming at the shop so taking us a little time to get to it.
did have it out on the road last week, this sxe turbo is definitely well worth it, well most likely be upgrading the 480 next winter to the sxe as well.
till then its holding its place collecting the dust

well the truck still skips at idle, but runs great, definite difference in spoolup with this 66sxe turbo. hoping to get the injector issue squared away asap but well be taking the truck to an event this weekend so depending how it runs on the way out there maybe well send it down the track.

Well the weather was on and off but truck ran really well this weekend, decided to run it down the track after the injector code cleared up. Didn't run anything impressive decided to stay on the street file and fuel only just to see how it would handle it. Made 2 passes at 13.9 &13.8. Nothing impressive by any means but glad to see the truck is running good. Now we'll turn up the tune dial in the spray and see if we can get high 12s out of it!
