Thanks Stan. You guys just need to keep KB ZILLA out of all the shows I attend. That way I have a better chance of winning :thumbsup:

OK guys, 1st let me apologize for the lack of updates and responses lately. I spent soooo much time over the course of 4 months building this truck, I had to take a break, and needed to spend some time with the family. I also want to thank everyone that has had anything to do with this project. I couldn't start to list them all, but thanks to some local guys...Frank5L for the turbo inspiration and a few parts, rmfreeze for the generous use of his shop and wrenching on it with me at times, mhays26 for all his help, and all the other local guys that helped along the way. Also a huge thanks to everyone else (you know who you are) that helped out with information and even parts. I really appreciate it all.

That being said, on a whim I decided to put it on the dyno today. Ryan Allen was kind enough to write a few tunes for me, and I'm running the same one I drove to Lightning Fest on. It was close, took a little tweaking so we could smooth out the top of the graph, etc. Mind you this was all on pump gas, 15 degrees of timing, and ultimately 17psi, and a pretty much heat soaked engine. I think I made probably 16-17 pulls, and the last one had resulted in this.

685.3 RWHP / 673.3 tq

For those of you who like to see SAE, 662.8 / 651.2 were those numbers.

I am extremely happy with what it did today considering it hasn't been dyno tuned yet and was on pump gas. There's still a good bit left in it at the same psi once I can dyno tune it. And OMG, what a beast it is on the street. :) I should have a vid or 2 to post tomorrow evening, stay tuned.

1000 RWHP here you come! That is great man and props to you for taking time with the family. You must have a wonderful wife, I know my g/f puts up with a lot, LOL. Your truck is awesome. It's so unusual seeing the hp/tq being so close.

Thanks again for all the encouragement and support guys. Yesterday's dyno activities definitely made it all worthwhile. I can't wait to get it to the track and see how it does. :beer:

good lord that is awsome!!!!!! so glad it is putting the power down that you were aiming for
but what are you wanting your final numbers to look like? you only going to push it to 800 or are you going balls to the wall?
oh yeah might be time to pull the bed off and box the frame :uh oh:
