lol yea no doubt. Gonna take a lot more time to buy the rest of the stuff than it will be to build though

What do u have left to buy? It always comes down to money and time. Lol. I'm still buying parts to do the tubo build this winter. It's gonna take some time for me to put it all together because its gotta look good and work great. .

I heard that. I need to buy the axles, spool, c-clip eliminators, gears, install kit, brakes, have someone setup the gears and billet caps, need to buy wheels for the back, and cage. Im sure Im missing a few things but that's the bare minimum. Over $2500 right there. And my boy just put his meth kit up for sale and I think Im gonna get it lol

Ya, sounds like ur going all out. What kind of track times do u anticipate with all the mods?

With the old suspension setup and before the weight reduction it went 10.9 @ 125 with a 1.67 60' with the small turbo (76/64) @ 14 psi and 3" exhaust. Since then I put a bigger turbo (80/77.5) and full 4" on it and it breathes so much better. I have no doubt it would've ran mid 10's at 15psi the way it was. Now with the suspension setup and weight reduction i would imagine low 10's on 15-16 psi and my goal is 9's with the stock 5.3 and current turbo. It should do it with around 750-775 rwhp which should be about 20-23 psi.

That would be awesome!
