well i havent driven the SS lately because have been taking my sweet *** time to get all the little stuff done. this has included vortech t trim supercharger a 10 bolt ta performance rear end girdle, the big 3 ( 1/0 gauge postive and ground and 4 gauge alt wires) ,vortech maxflow bov, nitrous system including bottle heater, nx wet kit, purge solenoid with intercooler spray ring and nitro daves switch panel. custom intake for vortech with air box also painted the exhaust matte black and gutted the cats. here are alot of pics of me and the big help of my operation Mike , he is my girlfriends brother , he has helped a ton in getting the SS where its currently at, he is doing the tuning , and helping me with the fabrication of the little stuff.

here are the pics

this is where the truck has been for the past 4-5 weeks




this is showing the differential with two of the bearing studs we put in vs the the stock bolts




here are a couple fun pics, this is opur helper roxy dog



here is mike torquing down the bearing studs



and last fun one is me with the im taking a crap face



here is ta performace 10 bolt girdle all pertied up



here are a couple of the nitrous and stuff

 

and here is the airbox we made



and yes i know the SS logo is backwards on the lid







here are some of the wheels ill be using they are centerline 18's with nitto 555r 305/45/18 drag radials.

im going to the track next saturday and sunday. hopefully not breaking anything. im hoping for low 11's. I should see mid to lower 11's off the bottle with the new slicks and everything else running like it should. and really low 11's with the bottle as im only going to run a 50 shot.

the purpose of the girdle is to put pressure on the main caps to prevent flexing, thats also why i did the stud kit, it wasnt 100% necessary but these 10bolts aren tthe strongest rear end possible.

here are a few of the other projects

fiberglass 32 ford on shockwaves with a built 350 putting about 400 hp out .



01 f -150 4wd long travel (currently 18" and keeping the 4wd ) we are working on the rear next




and here is where we put it down in the back yard

 

damn, is that your own shop in your backyard? lucky. I've got a garage that's decent sized, but I'd kill to have a freakin lift. I coulda actually done all my exhaust work at the house then.
when you gonna dyno again? numbers should be pretty nice when you're done

looks good,
jake

 

bad *** JRT

 

Everything looks good. I wonder if I can do an intake setup like that on my procharger. Feel like making another one?

 

Sweet pics...nice everything! I love the shop, SS, kit car...even the dog lol!

 

looks real good man... can definitely see your time and money in it!

 

that is one nice a$$ set up

 

the intake wasnt to hard, i bougth the piece (the u bend) from vortech it comes with the escalade kit. and i got the 90 from ebay for 15 bucks. and the air box was made from a battery holde rand the lid i made from fiberglass. took some time but it was worth it. the battery relocating was pretty easy , only thing i wish the air box was a bit bigger but it works just fine.

 

Looks good bro... And nice write up with pics.

Good luck on the lower part of the 11's!!!
