Good stuff. He made it a package deal, HPT, meth kit, and a jotto desk for like $400. You already run hpt if I remember right?

Yea I use hptuners. 4.8t, the truck was done for a while then got in a little wreck bc the back tires hydroplaned so I decided to take advantage of the situation and backhalf it. Progress has slowed bc funds have slowed. Im working on some side projects to fund it though. I also have a few more go fast goodies for it. I got a gen 4 08 5.3 with patriot heads, nnbs intake and throttle body for doint some work so that will be going in and I also got an alky control meth kit. So it should make some serious power when its back. Carazy, glad you found it informative. If you have any questions just shoot me a pm

Progress has slowed bc the truck fund has slowed lol. But Ive been doing a little side work to buy the remaining parts. Im currently working on my buddy's 08 crew cab. We put a nasty heads and cam LS7 in it and as payment he gave my the stock 08 5.3 with patriot ported 243, biiiiggg cam and nnbs intake and tb. In his big truck it ran 11.90's on a 150 shot so Im thinking about swapping my cam into it and putting that into the white truck.


Now Im doing a few more things to that truck for cash. He brought it to get dyno tuned and ran out of pump at 570rwhp on motor!! So I put a walbro 450 pump in it, -8 feed, used the factory feed as return and used the same magnafuel regulator I have on my truck. Im pretty confident it can make 600rwhp on motor then we have the plate kit on top . I also relocated the shock out back, put in a built driveshaft, modified the AEM intake to fit on the hi-ram and all thats left is to rewire the nitrous system and build a complete exhaust for it. Here are a few pics















Here's my buddy Kyle standing next to the new driveshaft, he is 6'5''

Nice. You need to post pics of that blue 68 in the back ground. Was the 450 pump plug n play or what did you have to do to make it work?

The pump is sposed to be compatible with the fpcm so it seems to be working just fine so far.

Here's a pic of a few things in the shop
