It's gonna hook so much better with that better instant center from the lowered and shortened rear!!! I want to hear about 1.6x or better 60' times!
 
I had enough energy today to spray the bed and load the truck on the trailer.

The tires I got used off craigslist, they are 31x10.5. The wheels are 15x10 with 4" backspace from summit.

I dont know how hard I want to launch since the transmission has stock shafts.
 
My launch and burnouts need practice. Its a balancing act to get out the hole without drowning in fuel. I have two solinoids, one momentary .030 and one on/off .063. The solinoid with the small jet hasnt been working but I just realized tonight it is leaking boost. I made 3 passes all boost and then one on the .063 jet. I only picked up a couple mph which is a dissapointment but the et dropped significantly. The nitrous eliminated any lag and got her moving.

She gone. Posted it for sale on a diesel facebook page and had a deposit within 20hours. Truck was picked up yesterday and heading to texas.
 
damn. hate to hear that my man. I have been tempted to sell mine a pile of times over the last few months but keep refraining. I always regret selling my trucks. Tough to take the diesel game serious right now though.

Doing things because you love them often gets muddled with people doing things because it is a fad.
 
My first child is due the end of august so I wanted to thin the herd. Also the transmission build would cost way too much money for me to spend on a toy. The stock converter and shafts are on borrowed time.

I am going to focus on getting my insight k20z3 swap on the road. It should be a blast at 1900lb and 500+whp.
 
At least some of your priorities are in order (baby>truck) though I question the Honda>truck thing.

Do compound turbos on that honda to make up for it.
 
Where did you get you're driveshaft made? I tried messaging you on IG. Thanks in advance

Any driveshaft shop, I used driveline specialists, I think its a franchise company. It was $140 to shorten and balance.
