Sounds good allen I can't wait to see your truck run at TS if I can make it and maybe I'll have my turbo setup done by then.

Heck that thing is going to be baddd for a ol farmtruck. hahaaa Hold on it already is what was i thinkin. I would personally like to see a heads up race between Parish or Allen against Johnny Lightning. I love to see one of them put the spark out on his lightning.

I'm not sure about competing with those guys, hahah, but it would be fun. I'm always up for a good race, maybe they'll break something and I'll win lol.

I'm not shooting for the fastest truck, but my goal is the fastest STS turbo charged truck. I think they'll be some good competition at TS.
Hopefully I'll get this darn thing done.

see you guys soon.

How much for one of those 408's? I wanna be fast too!

That was a really good idea going with low compression on that engine. You are going to be able to pour the boost to it without detonation! More fuel and oxygen means more power and the more you can push through the higher output you're going to get. Any idea on how much boost you're going to run? I can see that thing putting out 800 hp easily. You'll need a girdle on the third member to keep the rear end from spreading with that much power and torque.

I think parish has broken under 10s now. I saw a video of him on the dyno a while ago too putting down over 800hp and I forget the torque numbers but it was higher then the hp on 14.5lbs of boost. Damn truck was stock except for motor too! Pretty sure he had to do tranny and rear by now tho. He also runs in 4 wd on the track too.

I think it was 1000 foot pounds of torque!

[Bad_Apple]

yes i think your right it was like 1000 tq and 800 h.p. That would be nice to have that sitting in your garage from a stock appearing truck. That truck is badasss its just that simple.

There are 2 6.0L's , brand new, we just dynoed. I have a set of Diamond forged pistons with a -15cc dish. Put those in there, cam it, and you'll be moving nicely.
Not sure on the pricing, but if you're serious, I can get you something.
We have good pricing.

Hey Red, ya, I hope it turns out. I have the engine now and it looks nice when I think about all the stuff inside.
I'll probably start out with about 10psi, then slowly work my way up to 18psi. The engine should be able to take it just fine. Now I need to find bigger injectors.

see ya,

allen

Hey Allen,

Let me know what you are planning to do with your old injectors. I am not going turbo anytime soon but in the future I might so I will need larger injectors.
