The build is a GO!

I wish I'd done a different cam then stock but o well I didn't think I'd ever run a big single what could use it. By the way I usually take a month for a motor just because I like to take my time with things but that's for everything Start to finish not just a short block

 

[mike diesel]

I'll be doing some little odds and ends when I got the short block back. I'm estimating a few weeks.

I've got motivation. I'll be damned if I'm not at the first midnight drags at rmr this april!

 

[JoshH]

So you have 4 months... :rofl:

 

[mike diesel]

So you have 4 months... :rofl:

Indeed I do:roflmao:

So i am fairly certain i will be going compounds. Will more than likely run my s480 single for a bit then i will do what i was originally wanting to do.

Convert my 80 back into a 72 and then twin it with an s488 or a gt4718.

I changed the oil and stuff on my buddies triple turbo 1100 horse lbz last night and when i was driving it back to his house i flipped it on the big tune and clicked 4wd...compounds are pretty damn fun. Who knows...maybe i will nut up and build my compound setup before i even put the motor back in. Im really diggin compounds right now..

You sure can't make up your mind :roflmao: not that it's a bad thing though.

 

[mike diesel]

Trust me i know! Day to day decisions are a struggle!

 

[mike diesel]

Just placed an order for a stage 1 alternate firing order street cam from EDP. They said they got a bunch in stock today so I jumped on it and ordered one.

Wow you change it up often. Any way around it it will be a really fun truck with what ever you decide to do to it. I would love to check it out and go for a ride when it's finished.

We will have to set up a cruise and you can check it out.

Sounds good. By the time you are built I should have my boost leaks fixed and tuning changed.

I think I would be willing to pay a little more for someone like Randy's with a ton of high HP duramax experience to build it. Not that other guys cant do a good job, you just cant beat experience!

Is this Randy's in Richfield?

 

[mike diesel]

Is this Randy's in Richfield?

Yes. But you can't get to randy without going through industrial injection.

 

[POWDR]

Interesting.....

Anywho, started looking at Custom Auto after you first mentioned them. Their rig is pretty sweet! Looks like you will be in good hands.

Ordered a brand new melling oil pump just barely.

That pump moves oil my oil pressure was and still is around 100 psi when I start the truck cold lol cold started it at 12 and it was 120 I was little scared actually thought I was going to blow a seal on the turbo

Hmm it said it was standard volume pump. Hopefully it doesn't get to crazy! Maybe have to open up the piston squirters a bit.

I only have 2300 miles on the motor I figured it would go down as I got some miles on the thing. If not twins I will no issue supplying oil to :spit:
