Rock on man, had a smirk on my face when I stumbled on this thread. Nice choice with the work truck platform, looks familiar.

Logic is good...

I concur.

Do you think it would be worth it to shell out some more Ben franklins for a BW S480?
Borg S480 all day long with a T6 1.32 AR hot side. A 6.0 with a proper cam will spool that thing all day long. Look at Denmah's truck, my cam is helping that thing make boost at 1500rpm!!! A cam can really improve spool time tremendously.

Man, Matt it has got to really suck to go from running 9s to barely breaking into the 11s.

At least now you don't have to worry about getting the boot for going too quick.

I know when we slowed down a half sec with a heavier car, it took a lot of the fun out of it.

Now,you need some cal-tracs, weight reduction, and sticky tires.

Its an 11 second work truck who doesnt dig that? I sure do dont look at the downside theres always something faster but that truck is faster than MOST anything your gonna rub a door handle up against on the st. Them trucks are heavy beasts too though. Big power eating diff as well

So Matt whattya gonna build next bud?

I don't mind going slower a sticky tire will get me kicked out of the track anyway. Its too expensive to go really fast IMO

Building them is more fun than anything for me

You have got to be kidding me.....who is this....where is Matt???

I figured you must be getting burned out, or just not having fun anymore, 'cause there hasn't been a video on your channel longer than a minute in two weeks.

Where is that Sunbird, or any of those other Sloppy Mechanic cars.

You should build some cal-tracs for that thing Matt. Man that is a lot of weight to move.
