Starting the build....

Joe_strokem · Jan 21, 2014

Doing all the internals starting next week. Bought chromoly push rods. Kobe valve springs. Arp studs. Regulated return. Rcd gaskets. Having the heads decked and a full valve job done. Sticks are going to rcd for 175cc/75. Hopefully have the barder stage 2 in before Ennis. Maybe even a little spray. Gonna be a fun truck.

edit: Nevermind, dumb question. Interested to see how you like the set up!

Joe_strokem · Jan 23, 2014

You and me both.

You should have the truck live tuned at TSD. I'd be interested to see what Chris could get out of this setup.

Joe_strokem · Jan 23, 2014

Yeah. I'm planning on having Chris do some tunes and Matt over at gear head too.

About how much power will that make?

X2 :whs: especially since you live in San Antonio, can't beat live tuning when it's done on a Dyno.

Sounds like a real fun truck! Any thoughts on a ported intake manifold?

I would venture to guess mid 500's.

Yeah. I'm gonna go with the apex manifold. Steve has me sold in it. Getting a new y pipe too without the up pipe. Completely removing the egr cooler. Probably gonna get the bank technicooler system too.
