4,650 RPM it's making 600 ft lb of torque at 3 lb of boost. Spinning the tires on the dyno. Dropping from 34 to 20 lb in the rear tires and going to spray some sticky stuff on the rollers try to get it to hook. This motor and combo is wanting a lot of fuel.

No Bueno on the race EPAS unit. It has the same torque with more cooling for extended loads. I will have to live with it. Maybe bump the front tire pressure. The quick ratio of the rack combined with that wide of a front tire is the issue. Need to drive the truck and see how it does on the...

Super trick. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/14rxGR56QtX/

With the potentiometer turned all the way up it is not giving enough assist. Hard for me to believe this unit can't turn those wheels like butter. But I have two 90 degree vdog boxes and a rack that turns faster than normal. With all of that and 10" of sticky rubber on the ground it may not be...

You should talk to my gal Liz at ACC insurance. Last time I spent 8 hours pricing all my insurance for everything and she still was able to get a better rate on all of it. She just called me this week and some of our cars jumped up almost double. She already has us switched over saving money...

Little over half throttle and 4000 RPM with no boost she wants to go. Tomorrow we make some power.

It is now shifting nicely through all four gears. Although we have to adjust the shift linkage. Right now if you banged forward on the shifter it will still go into reverse. Need to adjust so that lock out is working.

Got in several light runs today to start breaking everything in. Mainly the transmission and gears. No way we were hooking straps under this truck even with the bags aired all the way up. Had to hook above on the bar above the fuel tank. Steering is going to be a little on the tough side. Even...

17 lb on the skid plate and hardware so along with the rear sway bar let's call it 50 lb. Add in the subwoofer and I'm just going to call this thing about 4,150 lb total. I am adding a little more in for dynamat and carpet when I do the front.

Had this old skid plate from a Jeep laying in the back of the shop. Was able to modify it to fit nicely. Nice piece of 1/4 thick 6061 t6. Dang that stuff is gnarly to bend. At first I stood on it with all of my body weight to put a slight bend on the front leading edge of it. Just bounced up and...

Well that was quite a project. Paul Horton sway bar kit all put together and built. 1-in solid bar about 39 in long. If it ends up being too stiff I can buy all the pieces and build a three quarter inch but he thought this would be the best place to start. It has to be serviceable and one end...

No glove box in this truck so I am doing two boxes for phone, wallet, sunglasses, keys, etc next to each seat. I had the idea very early on to try to mix the Dodge and Chevy logos together somehow. My buddy that cut this all out for me is really good with design and he made my idea better for...

Big beefy sway bar links for the front. $127 for the pair of those. Stupid what stuff cost now. I fought with this for 6 hours today. Tweaked and massaged and now I'm happy with it. Now not worried about it breaking the ears off the lower arms. All this and it may or may not work. Two pictures...
