It's over 10G just from the flywheel to the drop box on new ODL parts. Pretty easy to spend 5G on a built F106 & you can hit 2G on a D60. They just hit me 1000 bucks for drive shafts.

It's expensive no matter what you do.
Here's an update on mine. We are close. The driver's side pipe is a little longer than I hoped but we can change the diameter easy enough if we have spooling issues. Waiting on our weight box and then a bunch of odds and ends and we are ready. My first pull has been pushed back based on holdups at fab, my schedule, $$ etc. I leave for Destin Saturday to spend much needed time with my wife and kids and then back to it.

What is your turbo based off of? Gt42 or 45?
Nice! You will spool that no problem! I'm running a gtx 4508 with a 1.28 a/r housing and its a piece of cake to light. Kinda wish I woulda went the precision route! Their chargers are bad ass! :thumb:
Correct. Got rid of the alt bracket and accumulator to free up room to tuck the turbo up by the engine.
Cool, I think I'll do like wise since the AC is gone on mine too & I've got the AC delete pulley.
My shafts are built but no bill yet. My father in law does them and will usually only take my money for parts. I married well in that respect, he helps me with my motors and does most of my machine work and will never take a nickel. After he worked on the interior of my shop all last winter I smuggled a tool box over to him when he wasn't home. I have to repay him somehow!!
I was just wondering what some of you guys that about nitro dune grapplers and running pretty low pressures in them when pulling..?
This is why i say if drivelines will hold up in missouri, they will hold up just about anywhere. Watch the front tires at the end of the track. Wonder if my axles are twisted for the 2nd time this year.:roflmao:

I love this thread. Reading and seeing what you guys are doing. Makes me think about pullin when I leave hawaii
Haha I thought those ifs front ends wouldnt take any abuse:roflmao: Man does that thing ever make steam on the high end of the track! Nice hook Rob:thumb:
You don't see that every day. Looks like the sled let you get a bunch of speed then put the hammer down. Gotta be hard on parts. That thing is running great Rob.
Here's a couple videos of my first run on the truck this year.
