Hello VTCOA. I am creating this build thread to chronicle the build of my 06 SRT10 QC, named Cerberus. This will not be an overly fast build as I will be doing all the work myself and this is my daily. I have a backup in case I need it to be down for a week or two. The goal of this project is to see what highly motivated engineer with some time, money, and cool tools can do to make this truck faster and more fun.
A little background on this build and what its goals are. My primary purpose for going with a quad cab over a regular cab is that I need this to be a truck. I tow a trailer, have a family with pets, outdoor activities like hunting, and so on. So it must be able to handle gravel roads, towing, hauling, etc. This vehicle will also make several long road trips a year and must maintain the basic creature comforts necessary for this purpose. After those two then the third priority for this project is performance criteria. This is a street truck, not a race truck. So it must still be able to handle as well as be fast. This will not be a drag racing build. I will drag race the truck, but it won't be the only thing I do. I will also track braking performance, and figure out a method to test handling performance.
So to lay out the performance goals: 1. 1/4 Mile time of 10.xx (Currently 13.50)
2. 1/2 Mile speed of 150+ (Currently 121)
3. 60-0 time and distance TBD (Time is currently 3.3 Seconds, distance not measured)
4. Handling test, I am thinking a timed slalom of some sort.
As with any good project I will be taking requests. If there is something you want to know about my truck, build, experience, etc, I am always willing to answer questions and complete testing when time is available. I will keep the primary post updated with the current status of the performance testing.
