spent half a day over at Ricks shop today,
Took some more pictures. The first pictures are just different angles of what you have already seen, the last two are of Rick working on the piping.
Also watched Rick tune a corvette, that was pretty neat.

have I said lately how much I envy that engine buildup? :drool:

I want to see your collection of broken drivetrain parts after the first year. :rolleyes:

Thanks,
I really don't think (hope) I will have to many, Not worried about the Transmission at all nor the Rear Diff or transfer case, The only thing I am really worried about is the front diff. I guess I will wait and see

I've been following your thread on PT.net

Thats one sick setup!!

I want to see a dyno to see what kind of numbers that beast is going to push out!!

should be 90% done by Oct 6th, Rick at Synergy is having a big car show then.
Dyno number will follow, Rick mentioned that I might max out his Dyno:thumb:
His dyno is rated at 1100 ft-tq:D

What is 90%? Everything back in, but mostly tuning? I'd imagine that several hours and several tanks of fuel will be required for tuning...

we are waiting for a new 3 core radiator, don't think it will get there on time, still need the drive shaft made, and a few more parts powder coated.
My truck will be in the show but won't make the dyno runs:cry:
Rick is trying to get it done. he is working 7 days a week on it.

that is one badass setup dude ,you must have a ton in that setup .i didnt read every thing on it but i could imagine some high iats on it what are you using too keep it cool ,ive got a single charger and ive been through hell just getting iats were i want them.2 turbos i would think produce alot of heat i would think .just curious ,havent followed it all the way through.i did see 1 intercooler doesnt seem enough ,for street.let me know.
09-30-2007, 01:41 PM
04Denali

Hot pipes will be coated, Turbos with have a blanket and the intercooler will work great. I will be running a ton of Meth for both cooling and octane boost. I bet I won't see AIT more than 20* above ambient.

I am not a Tuner so I can't explain why, But Rick is one of the top Tuners in Calif so I will go with what ever he suggests.

o yeh now i remember youre truck ,i thought it was beautiful before ,cant imagine the hp its gonna have ,is it ganna be fully streetable like a dd if you want it too be?dont mean too bee nieve but my truck is pretty deck out and im afraid if i go much more crazy i wont be driving all day wile im working,im the boss all i do is drive ,is my curiosity .i know the gas mileage willbe sick but i only get 10 if im lucky anyway.
10-04-2007, 09:19 AM
04Denali

one of the first things I told Rick was that this truck needs to drive like a DD, not saying that I will drive it every day but it needs to be very streetable, obviously my gas mileage will suck in town but Rick thinks it won't be to bad on the Highway.

Ya, he does great work. Can't wait to get a new tranny, so he can tune the upper rpms of my truck... When i had my truck tuned, he had it on the dyno, and got it to like 5600 rpms and then the clutch let loose, needless to say it smelt the whole shop up. :LOL:
