i have been busy as heck with work and trying to get the ss in good running shape. i have done a few things to help me out in the future. including a stronger tranny ( still not invincible but has some billet parts and a killer converter) i had to have a custom 8 rib pulley set up made since i was getting some bad belt slip with the stock 6 rib. also had some little appearance mods done.

here are the details

the blower was also rebuilt recently due to some oil problems. not to mention throught in a new steering shaft while i was all dirty. changing the pullies is easy if you have the right tools.

since i had all the brackets and stuff off i deceided to have the water pump and alt/blower bracket polished, and all the bolts chromed.

i was lucky the only 8 rib belt i had fit perfectly , the next closest sizes are almost 2 inches longer or shorter. and when i run the smaller blower pulley i just change out an idler with a bigger diameter to make up for the belt slack.( i actually thought this one through)

well here are the pics

Sweet! That thing is gonna crank! Can't wait to see your timeslips!!
 
Thanks for the pics and updates. We were wonderin about how your progress was going a little bit ago.
 
im going to try for bakersfield but thats a long way from home , espeacilly to break ,

who had the tow truck last meet? lol if they come that might convince me.
 
dont know yet, havent gone wot . im pretty sure 15 psi will be easy. anything higher is a bonus. but from looking at the compressor map for the t trim i can hit 650-700 awhp and hit it with a 150 shot to get my goal of 800 awhp.
 
damn! everything looks amazing! i especially like the helmet. thanks for posting all of the pics. :)
