Ed, your engine bay is lookin really good!! What size turbos are on your Sy?? Also your times in your sig.........were they run with that current combo you have?

Brad

the turbos are 60 somthings. sorry but i never measured em. harry and keith just kinda gave em to me and said, here put these on it and the numbers had allready been ground off prior to me going at em polishing them.

the times in my sig were from my old combination which was a stock block single gt40 turbo. btw dont ya think a twin turbo v6 that only ran a 9.93 would be kind of a disappointment. :)

Those headers look like a work of art!:tup:

keith mease made the headers, ic, upper and lower intake, downpipes, midplate, cage, chute mount and a bunch of other stuff.

304 ss, thick flanges, and since the tubes go up instead of down plug acces isnt an issue.

harry gets to start working his magic on it again very soon when the track reopens.

ya know harry told me a story where a guy had a fast system, and a guy bet him he could get 70 more hp out of if he changed to gen7.

guy took the bet and made 120 more hp.

hey harry thanks for the vote.

my only question is if tom (the tank guy, you know who you are is gonna vote :) )

Any more pics of how the downpipes go out? Did you have them go outside the frame rails or ?

they exit the same on both sides. and yes they are outside the frame rails as you see here. the motor on the gn powermaster brake setup was relocated for clearance on the drivers side.

How is the clearance with the downpipe and tire?

Will a 275 still fit and be able to turn?

...you probably already know this, but high exhaust temps can cause the
cladding to melt. I`ve seen two vehicles (one odd-fire Ty) damage
their paint/cladding beyond repair. The second vehicle (odd-fire Sy)
owner decided to lower the exhaust and raise the front end to solve
his problems (which looked a bit goofy in my opinion), but solved
his problem. Hate to see this beautiful vehicle damaged due to
exhaust temps/fuel.

Well, i just voted for Mr. Hess. Just seems ed really wants it


Really wanting something and actually achieving it are two totally different things. My Ty would run 9's reliably and get 40mpg at the same time if really wanting something were good enough.

Some serious contenders this year. Throwing my vote Ed's way because I would love to see the title come to the east coast... plus Ed will start parting out his build around mid-season (as usual :) ) to go even faster and I want to take advantage of the awesome prices he gives me on his used parts!

Nice work to all of the guys taking a shot at the title.

listen nate... i'll let you in on where my head is at with this.

i really dont think there is anything more that i can do beyond this.

which means i dont think there will be any upgrades beyond this as this will be about as much as the chassis can do.

so nate when you use the search feature on the classified section dont filter on my name and date anymore. roflmao :)

Damn. Thanks for ruining my weekend! Seriously though, the truck looks sick. Besides strapping a jet engine in the bed I can't think of what you could do next.
