    Unless you are good with bending pipe, welding, and on site fabrication--I would almost resort back to just saving up some money and buying a setup. Or maybe find a used kit and buy a new turbo, BOV/wastegate, etc.

    Tyler, I doubt seriously you could reach halftrack with me on a front mount 80.. I am almost inclined to say you could not pass 1/8 while I trip the 1/4 beams just how my truck sits. Although you have me hands down in the clean truck look department, my truck is purpose built to get the win light. I guess we will never know at this point b/c my truck is down for a standalone and second stage. I have to give it to you though b/c I can only haul around duel ass, while you could fit at least 6 small asses in that truck of your's@@

    Like I said--a truck with those mods should smoke me easily...

    I think my truck would put up a closer race than that. It runs a 9.1 1/8th. And I don;t launch very high rpms. My mods are for higher rpm power--and I think that I would have better 1/4 times than what the 1/8th-to-1/4 calculator would show. If I use the conversion, math says I should be looking at a 14.1 1/4 mile time. I think my truck has high 13's in it.... If I strapped on some slicks and launched at a higher rpm, I would get out of the hole quicker and have better times all around. But still, I am not claiming my truck to be the fastest around by any means... As our trucks sit, you would have me by at least 2 secs through the 1/4 timing lights. I would need to be running a 12 sec 1/8th for you to be beating me like you said...
