My guess, never will be either. This one wants a chain hooked on.

In my best Vin Diesel voice:

" I live my life 300 feet at a time."

Looks good though. Where's the first hook?

What's the big secret? It's either a 2.8 or a 3.0 charger. I'm not real up on the Garrett's decipering, but maybe a Garrett gt42 or k31 or the like. They're used in stock form on Detroit Series 60. The real question will be can he stay on top of it with the sled behind him.

I think pulltilbroke just wanted the owner to field questions. I don't think the owner's computer is working with this site.
It doesn't have to do with a secret. The turbo is an off the shelf 3.0 gt42. It will be fun to see with a sled behind it!
Everything was built, designed or spec'd by the owner and that is why the 12mm pump is still on the truck. The aftermarket parts just aren't right and we are working on improvements to the current offerings.

And it will probably never be on a dyno either so you won't see a hp rating behind his sig. It is purpose built to pull a sled by him.

I think the stack looks good too. It almost makes me want to stack my 2nd gen drag truck.

I've been threatening to do that to my truck since I bought it.
My wife's been threatening to not ride in it any more since I started talking about it.
Some people wouldn't see the problem.
