Here is the red 1500 truck that I took on for a winter project.It is about 95% done and running.Has a 408ci with S85mm turbo.Pretty much everything was done in house which so far is a total of 120hr's of labor.In about 2 weeks I should have some prelim dyno #'s on pump gas.

That all looks real nice. Are you gonna tune it for pump gas? What kind of intercooler is hidden there? Nice project for sure. That will surprise a lot of people on the road!!

The intercooler is an OBX 4" which we've used in the past.It has a custom radiator which the coolant system took 5 gallons so heat shouldn't be an issue.

We are street tuning it on 100% 93 octain gas.I'm thinking around 700rwhp with that tune throught the 4L80 tranny.Then we'll spray the Meth and push 14lbs of boost.We won't be pushing it too hard on the dyno.Don't want to become one of those Dyno queens that push 4 digit dyno #'s but run crappy track times.It is being built for 50/50 street /track.

Looks great Don. I think you'll be happy with our S85. It should make that truck plum crazy to drive. Good luck keeping it on the road...

I really like the power steering and alternator setup on that. I'm not sure if that is a normal setup for the trucks but it looks to make some extra room in that spot. The whole setup looks great

Very nice job. I look forward to seeing the results! How much boost and timing with the straight 93 octain?

It is stock on the truck.I had to do some work to the power steering like move the lines but nothing hard. There is a ton of room in these trucks.

The new covers we are using on the S85 and S88 are LOUD. Sound like a jetliner when taking off. Our customers running the new cover are loving them so far, and we are too.
