If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

its been 9 yrs now since truck was last a auto and now for this build truck is an auto, i sit back and wonder how things would of been if i would of stayed auto....hell the 4.8 record would of been set back in 09? but thats history and here are some pics
alot of paint and powdercoat in these pics
Today has been a daughter day since yesterday was 12hrs in garage so was able to toss nose on and take a money shot
heres a pic of the JDM drag spring installed, found some info to what rate they are and they are light. at full lenght they rate around 350-375 also have a skyjacker 2" lift spacer in place
Very nice. Alot of patience with a clean build such as this, I like the gumband clamp.
That's cause i haven't gotten to that part of build yet...it's how I took it from box it came out of
turbos to intercooler piping is done, now its time to disassemble everything have all powdercoated and painted
with everything at the coaters, It was time to move into the cab and add bars to the 8pt to turn it into a 10pt
also the interior panels you see are the mock up ones, my good ones are being dyed black
Man the truck looks good. Like some people have said, your work is top notch but your attitude drives people away. If you could curb that you would have a hand full of trucks like this sitting in your garage. I am not being a dick, just giving you something to think about and learn from some of the shops you visit.

Very impressive work George.

Now that we are having a civil chat, I do have a question about your builds and turbo choice. Do you find that the higher ci of the LS builds requires the twin 76mm turbos? Coming from the modular side of things and less ci it cause hellish turbo lag. I think the biggest I would go on a built mod engine is twin 67s or a single 88mm. Both options would take us to some crazy power figures on the proper fuel.

something you need to consider and its easily over looked, ppl look at compressor size when you need to be looking at turbine size....You can only flow as much as the turbine can flow so the compressor size isnt as important as many think
take these examples, that 2010 camaro i built it has 7665s, thats a 76 compressor paired with a 65mm turbine... the 65mm turbine will never max the compressor out.. This combo flows almost the same as the 6265s i had originally on the car but with the cost of them its why they were used
now when you have a even pair like my 7675 the turbine speed is matched with compressor speed so they max out together
now you have outlaw 76s which some of them have 100mm turbine wheels, these are typically 1/8 mile turbos, they want max boost now and not be choked up by turbine
as for Mod motors, there was a lightning with a similar motor as I have for my lightning that ran similar turbos as my 427...that truck ran 7s
problem is with say the smaller motors like your 4.6 is they just dont have the flow to support a large turbine unless they spin serious RPMS, but for a combo like that you need gearing, compression, huge stall to get off the bottom and use full topend
like the lightning i did with the billet 8284 with having the turbine slightly larger then compressor its a good match for a 5.4
with todays turbos the old way of thinking is basically thrown out the window since the modern turbos make up for such "lag" as some would say.
