<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(69chvelle @ Dec 22 2006, 01:01 AM) [snapback]77062[/snapback]</div>It should have the HP just a question of if I can get the aerodynamics lined out so it doesnt start floating. I had it up to 140+ with the old 5.3 cam bolt ons and 100 shot and it still had some in it, now with the 418, and turbo it should have bit more powa. My truck is lowered already.Quote:

You will need a front diffuser/splitter to help keep the air from going underneath & producing lift.
I must agree with the splitter/diffuser idea plus it would lessen the drag from the parts under the truck. I wonder if anyone has ever skinned the bottom of their truck chassis with aluminum sheet to reduce drag at the track or even just on the highway for better MPG?
i have really thought about doing that, with some diamond aluminum plate... but i never did for the fear of the reduction of air flow underneath and something getting too hot and not being abled to cool off
Im in game
