got it tuned yesterday, didnt quite do what i wanted but i wasnt expecting much since it was the first time i had it dynoed with the new setup, and i need to upgrade some things and take another shOt

injectors are maxed and intake is killing it a little i think, as well as the heads and i need smaller pulleys and a new 3bar map before i can step it up any lol

BUMP. Been a few months since your last update, I have a build that is pretty close to this and was needing some motivation. What bracket are you using for the procharger? I am going to put a F1 on mine and have a few concerns with possible belt slip. I want to mount it on the passenger side, but am having some trouble finding a good mounting solution.
Anyways great truck man! Any new info after intake and other goodies?

Dude your truck is beautiful! I have always wanted to build a obs standard cab like yours, but being in MI makes it hard to find a clean slate that isn't a rusted out junk truck.

well long time no update but alot of **** has changed lol got the truck to put down about 600 hp, which wasnt no where near my goal, kept chasing problems here and there and eliminating them. with no power increases. went to turkey rod run last year and a damn pushloc fuel line failed and set my **** on fire. fun times.... anyways got it repainted and everything fixed better then ever. finally narrowed down my power issue to my ebay intercooler and replaced it with a 4.5" thick garrett and gained 220 hp just from swapping that! layed down 815 hp @ 18 psi on E85 at about 20 deg timing. now for the pics
