Default Turbo Truck Vid
Didn't get to post before, but I got to run a best of 10.74 @ 127 with a 1.56 60' Here is the video, and this was on 14psi.

The kit its already sold and I'll be taking my truck to get a custom twin kit this week, Im not sure if its an overkill but it will be getting twin 76gts, with a 408, nice heads and big cam.

Hope to get some input from you guys.

Thanks

Thanks guys, I'll be posting pics of the progress, this will take some time but hope to get it running before my b-day in April.

Right know I was just working on weight reduction, hope it will weight in at 3700lbs with me in it.

What are those guys over at PT.net thinking.... They know trucks are slow

Nice vid JJ, that thing should go easy 9s with that many cubes, that much snail power, and that little weight

I'm still trying to figure out how exactly I want to go with my build....

looks effing awesome especially with the wheels/tires you have on it in the video, im really leaning towards a truck in my future just because you have 15x more room than an fbody to work on an engine and/or build a badass turbo kit in there....

Looks good! They might not let you run with the Regulator there, it is supposed to be 6 inches off the firewall.

My goal is to run constant 9's and maybe hit an 8 second pass.

I'll check on the regulator, thanks for the hint.

One easy way is to just build a 6" long bracket that bolts in the same place

Killer! Looks like the only thing that will be slowing you down now is aerodynamics.
