Stomp,
I decided I gave you enough of a head start and now it's time for me to start playing catch up. I know what kind of numbers I'd like to see out of this setup, but i'll just have to wait and see what it makes on a dyno before I start running my mouth on how much hp this truck will make. I havent bought a clutch yet, but I know a guy who is running the Haisley dual disk and is switching to a suncoast auto so I may be getting his clutch.

pwrtripls1,
I plan to do a little racing, but mostly I just want more power. We have a truck pull in early August that I'd like to make an apperance at and turn some heads. Most of all, I just want to let people know what these old trucks are made of.

No more pics today. I was trying to be a good son yesterday so instead of working on the twins, I spent the day hanging out with my dad. I have to make some more parts runs this week, but I promise more pics this next weekend. Should have the cold pipe and oil lines complete. I have a feeling the intercooler piping is going to be a PITA.

Looking Good... I guess the spacer worked.. I should have kept it and redone the one side that is a little long..
I have 7/8 hose.. I just hope you don't have to bend it very much... its thick stuff...

The truck will be ready for the july meet. I guess it's about that time to start setting a date. Heck I might even go to health camp and eat a burger with you.

I'll see if the 10th will work for most folks. Will you be ready?

The burger was good, but let's try some good ole' heartburn Mexican food. Know of any good places?

I'm waiting for the pictures to be approved, but I'm about to get in the truck and drive to Lubbock so it may be this evening before I can post them or check ot my gallery.

Charlie,
The 10th would not work for me. I have to leave that Sunday and drive to Missouri for work.

For your viewing pleasure....
Let's hear what y'all have to say...





I know the boot that holds the cold piping to the top turbo doesnt look level, but it's because it's not clamped. I should be driving it around next weekend if my bends for the intercooler pipe comes in.
