as many pics as you feel like posting!

I want to do a twin setup but keep going back and forth on an internal wastegated gt30 or going w/ the gt35's and just have a lot left on the table from my ~600whp goal.

What made you choose the 35's and have you had the chance to dyno it?.

Very very nice build.

I just thought I would try the t4 gt35's I also have a set of On3 76mm turbos for it.
Still finishing a few things on this new motor combo so its not road ready yet (should be this week) and I hope to have it on the dyno by July.

Bad *** truck, very sleeper. Just thinking of your rear gear/trans combo. Your rpm's are gonna be pretty high. Going to a lower gearing might help the turbos spool faster too.

I was planning on doing a gear change but thought id give these a go. And as far as rpm the limiter is at 7900 that why its a short stroke big bore motor.

Heres a pic when it had a NA 4.8 with a muncie 4 speed in it.




The Model A is one we built for my brother. We built everything from the frame up and even made new quarters and door skins for it. Also has stock hinge suicide door setup. 4 link rear with coil overs ect..
