And yes the front is just a hair higher in these pics. Just have to let it down a hair more and she'll be level.

Dead sexy! Wife's truck is black & while it looks soooo good all dolled up, it's too much of a PITA for me to ever have a black that's either not a beater or nothing more than a garage queen. Just too much work.

Thanks guys and yeah all the little nicks a scuffs really show up close. Oh well,, as soon as the pump, nozzles, trans, heads and cam is complete she'll be hooking BOB work stock and hauling the 2.6 truck to the other pulls where she ain't hooking:thumb:

You're really building an engine to run a stock charger class?!?! Insanity! And people wonder why it's different in these parts pulling. :rofl:

I didn't mean insanity in a bad way. :thumb: But rather a kickass way. :woott:


However, when I build a motor, it's getting some air to make much more power than any stinking stock charger could do. :D

Ahh you know just throwing a little something together with some spare parts I have laying around ;) lol. Yeah i like the idea of pushing the stock charger farther then anyone else has so I figure if the bottom is built at least I will only be shucking chargers and not lowering my compression on a weekly basis :roflmao: I pick up stock LLY chargers all day for just a couple hundred $$$ so I figure I can replace several for the price of one really good 2.6" turbo. I still want a puller I can drive on the street from time to time.
I MAY feel bad if I was the first to do so but thats not the case as i know a few down there that have parts in them that would make some 2.6 trucks jealous hahahahaha.

Yeah, it's at least rumored, and prolly true, that there are and have been built motors in WS around here. People from other parts of the country don't know how good they got it winning pulls with tune, lift pump, exhaust & front end parts. It's wild.

I watched a truck last night in 2.6 that has a motor in it that used to make 1200hp with a reg 3.0 charger & now has apparently had more work done & a 2.6 charger slapped on it. It's on par with the likes of Hallien. It's nasty!
