That is just sick
Yea. Your right. I just got back from driving down the gold Coast and back - about 3 Hour round trip and out of all the vehicles Ive had in my life thare hasnt been anything that sits on the road and rides like this. Its sick alright and I love it. Just went down the weighbridge and came in at 1100 lbs lighter than before I hacked into it. No wonder it feels that much faster

Mick that looks freaking awsome!
About your next project.
You want your Supercharger blowing into your turbo. That way the turbo is working on a higher base pressure.
Say atomspheric pressure is 15psi and your turbo is working at a 4 : 1 Pressure ratio than your actual boost is 45psi. (Atomsphere pressure x Pressure ratio) - atomsphere pressure example (15 x 4 = 60 60-15 = 45)
Now if your SC is making 5psi of boost you add that to your atomsphere pressure. [(15+5)=20x4]=80-15= 65psi of boost.
Thanks Johnboy. About the S/C - not using the Vortech now - got a whole new S/C plan and its underway. Should be mobile in app 2 months or sooner. Will share it here when its progressed further.

Wonder if Pat is taking notes for Casper. Its still 4wd, right? Where did the weight los come from? I must have missed that detail?
C-ya

I dont know about that - I was down gold Coast yesterday and I saw a few good ones
when my other project is done there will be another pipe out the other side as wellWonder if Pat is taking notes for Casper.

Darn Mitch - Youve blown my cover. Besides the fuel tank, bumber, towbar, Springs etc I took out, I also pulled the front diff and axles. I didnt want to say anything till I ran at track in 2 weeks. I might be wrong but I believe with the right setup I can hook as well as a 4x4 without all the weight.(1102 lbs is alot. Times at track will tell. Keep in mind my truck is a street/strip one and probably will never see a dirt road again. Better put my flamesuit on I guess cause I know most here are 4x4 except Larry.
Mike i would like to slam mine to the ground also but with 35's mine seems to hook alright with them i only have two wheel drive u think if i slam it and do some bigger rims like 20's or something i will be able to hook up
That makes 3 of us with 2 wheel drive.... All I know is how mine hooks now compared to with it in 4x4 before is the power is DOWN NOW
There are several obvious reasons, weight loss, less downward and side movement on backend with bags and links compared to springs, (digs in Quicker) tyre width, wheel diameter, and I often wonder how much more power it takes to drive that front end as well, especially if its not (needed) I know these are all debateable points, but these are only my opinions from what I have gathered, but I am really interested in my 60' next time out - Mick
