It's just an archive for me while I'm on the road for work.

Old updates and current changes in progress. Just finished stripping most of the interior out so I can take the truck and get the rollcage put in next week.

Dyno'd truck on 15lbs of boost and smallest snow methanol nozzle stage 1 kit, no nitrous to help spool the turbo.

Video of one of the high boost test runs, also showing the old pinhole leak on the nitrous nozzle fitting boss

Painted the rollcage before leaving for a worktrip. Everything looks good except against the lexan

I'm just gonna try paint brushing that later. Got the new to me wheels on as well. Now need to go to the carwash hopefully we don' t have any tornado's with this weather system moving though.

This cage is so much more comfortable in cruising than the one in my Vette, and long road trips are actually nice because I can move the seats all the way back and recline.
