On paper that works out to be an 11.50 - 11.75  @ 115-120 mph assuming your AV 5700 - 6000 lbs.. Pretty quick for a 6000 lbs sled..
 
I guarantee there's one thing you won't have....
 
I haven't been able to go to the race track to get some times. I've been saving to get some track shoes. Planning on getting Bogart wheels.
 


Tried making a pass at the drag strip. The g80 started acting up. Time for an eaton upgrade.
 
Why is a bed panel missing?  I imagine that creates some drag?

You going to go with a TruTrac or a locker?  Seems a manual locking rear diff would be good for drag racing, then unlock for street driving.
 
The panel was removed to fit the other set of wheels in the bed. I'll be going the trutrac route.  They work work well for street and strip use.
 
Good to see you got it back out again. The trutrac is the way to go.
 
Yes, I'll drive it whenever I get a chance. The previous fuel pumps went bad so now it has 2 450 walbro pumps.
 
So some questions for you.. I am about 5 years out from considering doing the same thing to my truck...

Where did you get your engine? I am assuming it is not stock...

Are you running a 2wd truck? Have to imagine a 4wd truck would be cool but would require other components to hold up.

Looking at your system I am curious how it works.

Assuming some sort of headers pushing exhaust to the turbos then somehow going back out to the normal exhaust route, assuming the intake air is sucked into the turbos then looks like they go to the external coolers in front of the radiator then at the bottom of the coolers the outputs are combined and go under the radiator then straight up to the TB?

Assuming this setup is only possible in a truck with electric Fans. Also assuming you lose the front battery mount location and whatever might have been on the left side as well. My 2003 currently has 2 batteries so I already have a rear mount but would likely have to relocate one of my batteries.

Last question I have is how would this compare to a centrifugal SC?
