So I'm nosey and curious....
Turn key for someone out the door what's the coin purse got to hold for similar build?
If you had to pic a current favorite that you built.....
UCC truck or this...
Turn key build would be in the 200k range? If you add the pit coolers, pro jacks, spare tires, etc it all adds up quickly for sure with the big ticket items of a 11.5 mark Williams rear, Rossler TH400, Neal Chance converter, Bosch ECU, DDU9, PBX powerbox, injectors/cp3x2, menscer shocks and struts, Enforcer Engine, GT55 turbo, and a few months of fabrication Labor for the chassis, body mounting, custom firewall etc. We did have extra labor in the truck because it started as a Gas truck with a 7.50 cage and we had to cut out and add dual frame rails, etc. I think we'd have been time ahead to start over.
Favorite build, I'd like to redo the ucc build with what we know now, I love that build but have things driving me nuts knowing how much better the bosch powerbox would help the wiring and control, but can't say I favor one build over the other. Once you invest that much time into a project, you like it, because it's a representation of your hard work.
For race day the pro mod is less hassle and more fun. More tuning then wrenching, where the 4x4 always seems to be more wrenching than tuning.
