She's finally a driver. Still some things that need to be worked out: a small hesitation at low rpms, correct the transmission (shifting to early, not holding on long enough, not down shifting properly) but all of this is correctable with some programming.

Took it to a friends dyno and showed 435 at the rear wheels. So with 18% drive train correction engine is right around 540-550hp. Pretty close to what I was looking for. Have to say, this engine likes to rev. Have the limiter set at 6800. Once you get at 3k this engine just takes off. Still needs to get tuned. There are some ruff patches which I think it will work itself out once I drive it more. It only has 145 miles since finished. LOL Needs to be driven a lot for the computer to learn better.

Anyways, finally, here is a few quick pictures of the rims on.






The truck looks good. whats the offset on those wheels?

Actually my truck is at Comersomes Toy Shop in Campbell. He did a lot of the fab work and install. For the tuning, we will be taking it to TPS for now.

Re: IT's TIME! Agent Orange under the knife... Merry Xmas

So it's been a bit but thought I would post a couple of pix up. Just redid the exhaust, 3" x pipe with borla XS mufflers. Still need to do the side exit cut outs. Also a couple of pix from the shops car show

Thanks for sharing your build. I'm not to far from you. I might need to take a drive in the 67 and come check out the truck in person.

Thanks
