As for the T-case...a 205 is almost indestructible(gear driven)....next would be a 208 (chain driven), and/ or you could go to a "newer" style case ?

thanks for the info!! I will order new rocker set with trunion upgrade. Talked me into it! lol

Just start a Photobucket account, upload pics there, then click one, copy the image URL, come to this thread, click the little yellow icon in the message box, paste the URL and that's it.
I figured there was an easier way! thanks again guys for all the info! learning lots of new stuff.

Default late nights in the shop......

So I am seriously considering ditching the whipple and going with single turbo or TT. Need some ideas/info. hard to find simple answer as to which is better TT or ST so must not be a simple question. thoughts?

Selling whipple for 4.8, 5.3 or 6.0 cheap. PM for details... its non-intercooled and mounts to side of intake rather than replacing intake. older whipple but in great shape with all pulleys.

Wow! That was a quick change.

For a truck build, I would have considered the newer gen 2 Whipple top mount that is intercooled. Easy bolt on. Turbo set up will make more power but doesn't sound like this is going to be a race car.

Ya always wanted a tt. I think it will be a lil less and more room to increase power later. I already have a whipple on my other ride so would be cool to experience tt over sc? [/IMG]
