Hey guys got my truck all finished up and Caleb Baker of blackout performance tuned it and I ran it one night at our local 1/4 mile track. Ended up running a 11.99 @113 not too bad it was hot out. That should be good for second on that list with the same truck that is 1st :D

I love the truck and how rare it is and how good it runs but I just have too many toys so I wouldn't mind selling it if someone would be interested in it. I have about 500 miles on the new build..

I'm in the process of making my own along with a few other improvments If it works well I'd be willing to make a few extra

Ok everybody, long time no see, I know. Sorry I've been away so long, went through several life changes including moving (where they don't offer high speed Internet, and I use too much on my mobile plan already) which is a big portion of why I stopped logging in, a promotion at work that required a lot more of my time, and the machine shop "losing" my extra stub when I told them that their cost to make new ones from billet wasn't feasible, which is the main reason the project died since I couldn't be without my truck waiting on cores to be returned. That problem fixed itself about 3 months ago though when I totaled the truck :( Don't worry though, I didn't let them take another zf to the scrap yard, I still have it sitting at my shop looking for a donor truck to swap it all in to :thumb: I had really just kinda forgotten about the whole thing until I got an email from DD about a PM clrussell sent, so I figured I would get this back on track since I don't need the truck everyday now. I will be shipping the first one out to clrussell next week, even though I know there were other people that were in line first, since he's the one who reminded me about the whole thing to begin with. I will keep everybody updated as to when I get his core in and turnaround time, but it will be pretty quick as I have another trusted shop doing the work for me instead of me having to do it myself with my busy schedule. Price will be between $225-$275 (hopefully on the lower end), depending on final fab cost and other materials that I will include in the kit. Thanks for the interest, and again, I apologize for letting the project die for so long.

Sorry to hear a zf die. I had one total to. I am making my own but glad ur back on track. These zfs need all the support we can give em. We need a zf in the tens for God's sake!! All it will take is someone to build a zf mean enough to do it most aren't race trucks

I think the record now is 11.48 in a full weight reg cab. Think it made 750 hp and 4th gear 4x4 launch at 4k

I thought he was doing 2nd at like 3200.. 4th at 4k??? Meow that's ballsy! And if I remember right it was a stock turbo truck?
