Well been a long time since I've updated.

Drove it around like that for a few weeks then decided to put it on the dyno and let Chief do his thing with the nitrous. I had a goal of 500rwhp with this motor and I was prepared to throw whatever amount of nitrous at it that it took to get that.

We made a couple quick pulls on motor in second gear with old, cold nitrous plugs on a stingy dyno(yeah I know. that's alot of excuses) and it only made 342 to the tires. Needless to say I was a little disappointed. The motor was built with nitrous in mind though, with what my cam guy called a "nitrous cam".

We had a .053 nitrous jet in my Nitrous Outlet 78mm plate and it was decided that wasn't going to get me to my goal of 500rwhp...Soooo....In typical Chief fashion, he came up with a tuneup he thought it would take to get my goal. .073 jet it was... Changed plugs, pulled some more timing, heated up the bottle, banged it through the motor and made a pull...


575rwhp 585ft/tq...Plugs looked PERFECT(of course)so we called it good.

Never made it to the track but put it on a couple vettes and some ricers and mini vans and whatever else I pulled up beside lol

Fast forward a month, we decided we wanted to put some more nitrous to it and didn't feel comfortable doing it with the stock intake and plate on the front of it. So I bought a Vic Jr and a 4150 plate and put a fuel cell up front for the nitrous. We dyno'd the truck with the new intake on 2-25-11 and picked up a bit with the intake


Couple days later we built the bracket for the cell up front and I redid my nitrous wiring and on the way home the truck lost oil pressure

Didn't investigate to find out the exact cause but it turned out to be a spun cam bearing. I can't really point fingers, but this was fresh machine work in November, with supposed to bearings. Oh well...I ordered new stuff the next day and started the new build

Made it in GM Hightech this year too



Built a new motor





I need to do some cleaning under the hood but living on a dirt road kind of hinders any of my motivation to get it clean lol

Anyways, machine work on the new motor was done by Jerry's Motor and Machine in El Reno, OK and my buddy Tyler(I think his name is 370 on here) through all this junk together that I had laying around

Gotta thank my buddy Tyler for putting the motor together, my buddy Bryce for helping me pull the old motor and stab the new one in and Chief for putting the nitrous tune up in it.

While it was apart, I ordered a new converter suited for my combo, ordered a roll pan, some bogarts for the rear and some bigger stickies. I've had the parts to lower it for some time, just haven't had time to make it happen. Once its lowered we'll have to redo the traction bars so that's another reason I've kind of been dragging my feet.
