Any smoke show vids?

Ya, I hope when I put on my rearend girdle, it doesn't interfere w/ my TVS! To be added, Caltracs. All to work in conjunction w/ 1 another. A single mod on a truck, doesn't usu. complicate; multiple changes in a given area add to complexity so they work in unison

The goal will be 700+ to the tires with the 22s on. I like the real world HP...lol.... Right now it made 612 hp at 19 psi.......

Nice! Clean looking setup. What times did you run on the old setup?

I will get the graph from Nelson and post it up, it builds boost extremely fast, by 2500-2800 its at full boost. with the old 4.8 and 10 psi it ran 13.9 at 109 mph, with a broke gov lock. I built this truck to be a super fun street truck, I will run it at the track, but the track is not my main concern. The 5 speed is a blast to drive.

Saw this truck a few weeks ago that turbo makes it sound like a jet. Post up some videos revving it up.

Thanks Mic, your truck was fun to work on.

Just need to clarify, it made 612 at 16psi, but we did see 19psi in the mid range. I'll load the dyno more next time to get the full 19psi across the power band.
(it does hold 19psi on the street though).

See you soon, Tahoe is getting closer.
