I thought I posted these pictures but guess I didn't here are the pictures from the build.... Bill and Cody did a AWESOME job on it! :woot:

ok, so this all started as a simple take the heads off have them cleaned up and put studs in along with new turbo,injectors, HPOP, and fuel system... what it turned into was a complete engine rebuild after Bill found a good bit of damage to my rockers,valves and pistons... just figured i would share some of the highlights of the build with yall

and its done!!!


First of i have to give HUGE props to Bill,Brad and Cody From Power Hungry Performance, they have done an awesome job and are absolute pleasure to work with!! 2nd i got to thank Bob Riley at dieselsite for everything from answering all my dumb questions and always being on top of getting bill parts as soon as i would order them LOL, and Clay at RiffRaff for the awesome deal on the turbo.... and also thanks to everyone who i have bugged and bothered while i was gathering parts to get this underway!!!!

The truck made 396hp and 867ft lbs which I was pretty happy with :cheesy smile: I can't wait to get a built trans so I can spend even more money for my eventual goal of around 550hp

Thanks for the good words, Jason. Enjoy the truck!

He got the picture while he was "documenting" everything while you did all the work. Hahahahahaha but no problem like I said I already want more and I'm thinking of ways to come up with the money for a WOP GQSSB and some hybrids, I think I should have a solid enough foundation now for in the future to try to get at least 550hp, what do you think Cody? Well besides the stock trans that's why I didn't want to go big with it now I knew I had to keep it alive for a while

Oh and those pictures of how dirty the engine bay was, was just to much so today I tried cleaning it up some all that dust and dirt just looks horrible in pictures lol. I mean not that the truck is a show queen by any means but the nicest part of the truck is the engine so I gotta keep it clean lol

The thing is that I didn't even notice he was taking the picture. I'm usually pretty cognizant of people holding cameras in my vicinity (to avoid having my picture taken at all costs) but I guess I was too busy talking. Look at that receeding hair line.... :doh:

Really, I would leave it as it is. If you want 550 HP though, go for it.

Very Nice video and gorgeous truck! :cheesy smile:

Our trucks look alike in paint scheme, but mechanically we are opposites. I now have the trans to support the higher hp/tq numbers, but my other mods are fairly tame. I have never tried to do a burnout like that because I'm always afraid I'll break something, maybe I should quit being such a wuss. I'm assuming you were live-tuned? What level of tune were you in for that video?

ETA: 38R?

Haha I break stuff regardless if i beat on the truck or drive it like a grandpa, but that was actually bill doing the burnout in it... I hadn't picked the truck up yet when he took that I told him since he built it he should break it in right lol.... And yes once everything was back together bill tuned it on the dyno as for what level he prob had it on the 140 setting but I'm not sure.

Actually, stock-for-stock, with the power numbers on the dyno, you are about 150-160.

I took the video with Bill's camera.
