it's your truck...

and haters gonna hate...

I'll reserve final judgement till it's done, but it looks like a fail barge at this point :(
 
That is not the same cover for the primary you posted before. Looks like an hc5 cover or other big holset. What gives? Changing chargers?
 
Are you going to be ready for the NHRDA race in Wittmann, AZ next weekend, as in 8 days?

I thought before you said you were planning on racing there but it looks like you've got a lot of work to do before your truck will be race ready. I really wanted to see your truck up close. I think it would make a great magazine article pitting your build against mine. Comparing and contrasting the quality and reliability that comes from spending more money up front vs rigging up everything sort of a hero/villain relationship.





I've been closely following your build, it's the exact opposite of my 95' Junker Drag truck and find it comical (in a good way) to look at one of your posts and see a new bling part or cutting edge turbo and then look at my recent posts of Jerry-rigged madness.

Good luck with the rest of the build, it looks great so far, even the new hood.
 
Did those chargers come off a blue truck that spends time over at your place of employment?

I think the hood looks good man, and the chargers came out real nice as well!
That picture of the TIV you posted is pretty cool, saw it driving down N. College in Fort Collins i think last week it was.
