UPDATE

Swapped out the STS kit for a Nelson Performance front mount kit. Changed from a Garrett .67/81 to a Master Power 70/96. Installed a new cam from Patrick G. Spec'd out for a 6.0 with boost, so not necessarily spec'd specifically for my application. 22X/23X.

VIDEO OF DYNO ON 11-12lbs.

Try the videos now. In the video is 11-12. But now the controller or the setup for the WG/Controller is not holding boost at the specified setting. In 2nd it starts at 8, when it shifts it jumps to 11 and stays.

cool, the vids work now.. nice numbers

Nice looking truck, post some engine bay pics!!!

Probably with the rear mount at 440hp/411tq 12.3 @ 114.

Got the front mount and cam put in, only time I hit up the track was in feb at the raceday, and it was falling on its face after the 1000 and loosing 3lbs of boost running 12.4s at 113. Got brand new dual springs put in that same month, havent been back out to the track in since then.

cool man...i bet it has 11s easy in it.

cool deal duck.

Looking nice David! It's come a long way from a couple of years ago...

i love the way this truck sits!!

This is the first time Ive seen your truck, and WOW! It looks killer man!

db did some awesome work on that truck.. definitely lookin out for your truck at the shootout.

Looking good as always Ducky! I remember my first shootout as a spectator in 09 and meeting you, jon, and kurt at dinner that evening. Mic ruined me asking me to go watch that year...lol

David, if you ever sell this thing, I'm hopping a flight the next day and giving you $1,000 more than whatever you want because I love it that much :lol:

I have an old pic of your truck when it had black steel wheels, they looked like 16s...can you tell me what the offset and width of the wheels and specifically the size of the front tires?

Thanks everyone!

Yeah I will send you a PM with the old setup on the wheels

How much did the front coil over cost you and what mods did you have to do to the front to run them.

Jon will be making a thread on all the info for the front coil over kit probably sometime after the meet, so just be patient guys its well worth the wait!

Truck looks great.
That suspension looks sick.
How does it handle?

Like a dream! It's great, my suspension was garbage before, so anything would have been a step up lol
