A few things I've accumulated for my rebuild

Those calipers are wicked!

850hp in a little ol single cab short bed is gonna be a beast....Do I smell rolling burnouts at about 60 if not more?

Probably more. Passing on the freeway might be sketchy lol

 

[jwlandry]

especially in the rain.

It'll do them at 50 now...LOL

I hope so...that'll be fun.

especially in the rain.

I learned a while back to keep boost under 30 psi in the rain. I don't care how easy you are...if you get it north of 60psi on a wet road it moves sideways.

That is sick, your're going to need to keep a couple of extra rear tires on hand

 

[4.0l sahara]

how much are those calipers?

 

[UNBROKEN]

Retail is about 12-1300 I think.

 

[Cobra 19 & 54]

Did you notice a loss of brake pedal when you put the big rims on? I really want know if these are better or just really cool looking.

 

[UNBROKEN]

I definitely noticed some crappier braking with the big wheels.
I have slotted rotors and supposedly good pads on now and it stl sucks as far as I'm concerned.
I plan to install the brakes before I swap cabs so I can do a before and after comparison.
SSBC has the info on the calipers but the clamping force is waaaay higher than stock. I don't remember the number but it's much higher.
I haven't talked to anyone that runs those calipers that says anything other than the difference is amazing.
I like numbers though so I'm gonna do a back to back test, after their recommended break in period of course.
I'll mark and measure my stopping distances now and use the same spot after.

 

[TANK'S 250]

I still haven't seen any upgrades to the rear axle.....what good is all that power if you can't get it to the ground?

1000hp isn't cool when all it does is OTF...."One Tire Fire"

 

[Cobra 19 & 54]

He's runnin an open diff, not even an LS? That doesn't seem like Rich. But then again, I'm used to being wrong!!

I know he's been talking about a locker for years...I just don't remember hearing about it ever getting done.

 

[Dmstrucks02]

I would think he had some kind of locker/LS
Even so at 850hp on a 2wd it's going to boil the tires off

I deal with it every day LOL

[UNBROKEN]

I've been considering different rear diff options for years...I've never decided on another upgrade that will fit my needs as well as a modded stock diff. We stacked extra clutches in 8.8 rear ends for decades and they work like stock, but better.
Don't worry Jay...both rear tires are doing work.
The fact is...it's NEVER gonna hook up on a street tire...period.
Notice all those handling and braking mods...there might be a clue there that I wanna do more than go in a straight line.
