So how much does it put down?

 

[NHelmer]

Damn good job. I like. Me next, me next:-laf And yes numbers please.

 

[RHARVEY]

The truck is still in the finishing up stage. Once I go thru a couple of re-torques on the head... then we will find a dyno shop somewhere to see how well it does. .

From the parts that we put it... it should run real strong... Any guesses of what it will do. . both on motor on juice? The NOS kit is a 2 stage kit of 60 hp on stage 1 at full throttle and a manual 40hp shot. Stage 1 is pre-intercooler and stage 2 is post intercooler. .

NHelmer. . send the truck our way... our shop is already looking for our next project. . Oh yea... send along some long green. .

Also here is a picture of the ladder bars that we built for him. 2. 25 DOM tubing w/. 25 wall,1" heim joints and 3/8 steel. Should hold dont you think?



Thanks

Rick

It's looking real Gooooood.

 

[JFlagg]

That looks REAL sweet! What turbos did you use in the setup? And could we get some more pictures? Those have got my interest peaked...

 

[RHARVEY]

The top turbo is his PDR HX35/gated 14 and the bottom is a BHT3B/26 that we picked up from Goldfarb and Associates. If we were just starting this project... I might have tried to talk him into a phat shaft 62 on top and a K31 on the bottom. From what I have been told this combination is the ticket.

[RHARVEY]

Well this is the trucks first car show at my local A&W. Truck runs strong even keeping it on level 1 and below 30lbs of boost. I need to get some heat cycles done for the head re-torques. It was fun to see the looks we got coming thru the parking lot. First gear and that HRVP44 loping. . Sounding like one of those sled pull trucks... well maybe a little... but you could hear it. People could not figure out how I could get that diesel to lope. . Truck owner hasnt even driven his new found power truck yet.

Oh. . I forgot... the 6" miter cut stacks go on this week. .

VERY NICE!

I would love to see some close-up shots of the ladder bars in the way they terminate at the frame and axle connection points.

RHARVEY,

Yes, about those ladder bars...
I have an '02 QC, SWB, factory overload springs & swaybar, with AirDog (mounted forward of the left rear wheel). I would like some ladder bars to smooth out the launch. I don't race or pull, just a lot of stop 'n go commuter traffic and some heavy towing. Is this something you can do? If so, shoot me a PM and I'll call you.

Thanks,
Neil

Sure does look gooooooood.

 

[RHARVEY]

Got the stacks install the past weekend. . Sure sounds good... Now if I can get the rest of the parts to come in... I can get them installed and send this truck back to its owner. .



Rick

 

[FourBarR]

And does it have a 53 block. If it does he may be spending a few more dollars in the future . Nice job looks very professional.

 

[RHARVEY]

Yes it does have a 53 block... I had a long talk about it and decided that with his driving style... it should last a very long time. If it doesnt. . then it will be back at my house for a block change. .



Thanks

Rick

 

[AFoulk]

are those just aluminized stacks? Its a nice looking finish on them

 

[RHARVEY]

The stacks are powder coated to match the headache rack. .
