Hopefully it likes where it is now and doesn't decide to take a "spin" into the cell! Lol. Awesome build though man.. Love the uniqueness and originality... Now get it running! Lol.

nice work but pretty much any little issue and the cab is headed north LOL tight fit in there.

Nice thing is is that a lot of the turbo stuff will be cake to remove cab on. You can basically get right into the valve covers at this point in no time. The down pipe is v band and will take 5 minutes to pull, Batteries will be on the frame rail as well. Compared to a stock truck itll probably be easier to work on.

So I'll be seeing you at a few pulls this year right?

Haha, spectating. The truck is probably going to be lowered with 420s for a bit. And honestly the class Id have to run in due to my set up requires a ton of saftey equiptment that Im not going to invest in to do pulls around here. Also its just not set up to pull competitevly in that class as well, suspension wise, and also without a built motor..... well...you know.

Ill definitely be at lebanon valley a few times if you want to go on a wednesday night... just for fun. Never done it before so it should be a fun experience.

Ill hopefully also be going to the dyno day in binghamton. As long as nothing major happens and I can get some miles on it.

420's hook in the dirt, i've seen a few people make full pulls on 420's with 7-800hp trucks. Ill be pulling mine once i get valve springs and pushrods and a little more air into the mix so i don't have egt issues

This is a bad ass build, great to see new stuff being used brought from a guy with a different background meaning turbo gassers. Fuel system is unique for sure.

Thanks Eric. Means a lot coming from someone with your back round. This has been over 3 years in the making and a lot of planning and seeing other trucks to get ideas and try to better on them or make it unique. There is still so much more to do in the future. True trac, traction bars, 3 or 4 link, shocks all around.... and also a built motor way down the line. I'd like to find a short block for sale to build over time.

I'd love to get in a magazine.... a unique build from a small shop that does quality work would make for some good reading. Not to mention it'll hopefully be a solid 900+hp sleeper

The build will never end, there is always something. LOL I wouldn't doubt a mag would like to do a write up about it.

madman1234509 · Apr 10, 2014

It would be pretty cool, although... I'd have no idea how to go about something like that.

madman1234509 · Apr 10, 2014

This will be an awesome truck for sure, looks great. I don't think I'm too far from you I'd love to check it out.

RSK · Apr 10, 2014

hope to see you at lebanon valley soon, maybe we can coordinate or setup something up like a psa track day. unofficial of course unless we get enough people who for sure wanna go then get a track rental day. that would be pretty awesome.
