Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
Mike
She is looking really good. I like your idea for the hood to help with air flow. Keep it up!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
if it still gets hotter than normal you could have someone punch louvres intoo the hood near the windshield (i know i know you just have the valance smoothed and now you might need to punch more intoo them again)
that should create a bit more flow through the enginebay maibe you can make a airgap between the valance and the windshield and hide the wipers under it as whell , should do the same thing but isnt as obvious

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
I'm not sure how I missed this build, Mike. You may want to add it to your signature for those looking at your other builds.
I'm back following it now though. Wow!! This thing is going to be awesome!!! It was nice getting to run through all 36 pages in one day. Made the build go really fast. Haha! Now, your challenge is to do at least 2 pages a day....And go!!!!!

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
That's a cool mod for the roof. Makes you wonder why GM didn't do that in the first place. The bed is looking good too.
With 36 pages on this thread, and just getting to primer stages, I'd say you have quite a few people commenting. Maybe not quite like cloud9 or square peg, but still a lot more traffic than most threads. Also, with everyone posting more to instagram lately, I'm thinking the forum doesn't get as much traffic as it used to. Definitely not as much posting of pics happening lately.

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
wouldve gone for turbo's too
there quieter because the exhaust passes through them before the mufflers and not so hard on engineparts (cranksnout and bearings) the show and shine part of a compressormotor is awesome though and the screaming broooooap--brop-brop----brop sound of a compressormotor makes the truck get noticed as mush as trying to immitate tarzan swinging trough the trees with his cloth on fire in the middle of a classic pianoconcert for sure motorheads want to take a peek under the hood of the truck since youre showing off / trying to sell youre innerfenders that engine is a good choice in youre case

i prolly still be changing parts and lowering the boost up to the point where stuff stops breaking you can make a turbosetup look clean in a truck......i'm going to go that route you wouldnt see mush of the turbo('s) wish on a show car kindah defeats the purpose the engine i have will go intoo a 1978 c10 and the turbo will go right behind the cab under the bedfloor or under the cab in the fueltank hump i will have the charge piping going intoo the intake from below and have regulair exhaust system showing under the hood , a 3 intoo 2 intoo one and then a 45 degree turn round to regtangle merge intoo the turbo the wastegate be sitting there too sticking straight out the 45 degree bend going around the turbo intoo the rest of the exhaust on a v8 you would use a carb style intake with injectors a big 4 hole trottlebody and a big aircleaner you could hide most of the plumbing under there the only extra stuff you will need with a midmount setup is longer oillines to the turbo and a scavengepump to get the turbo oil back intoo the engine wish can put the oil intoo one of the valvecovers breatherholes

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
we are all still here and watching you're doing such a damn fine job I guess we don't figure you need much advice. But with the hours you're putting in on this beast I think we can all agree a little encouragement might be nice now and then so keep on rockin it!
and for those that want even more pics check him out on instagram, he posts a lot over there too. come to think of it. how the heck does he get any work done with all this posting? |

Re: Slosh Tubz SEMA 2015 Build "BOOSTED BERTHA"
I love the way the roof extensions came out
Got that MAST Motorsports 408 cu engine and Black Label LS7 heads mounted up on the engine stand and then bolted on that TCI 4l80e, and I just had to set on that Magnuson Supercharger ! Now to get it all prepped for paint along with the Wegner Motorsports front drive system ! |

Any idea how long before the new door seal is released? I was going to order some stuff from Precision but might hold off if they will be released soon.
