Drag truck/Street toy build

I've been really busy lately but made a little bit of progress. Here's what the Ceramic Coat looks like. My coater convinced me this is the most effective coating they carry. It is the most efficient, highest temperature rating, and cleans easily. I'm happy with it. Hopefully it performs good.

Here's my SteedSpeed drilled and tapped for the datalogger ports.

Thanks guys, the trans started slipping in my 6.4 so it put a little bit of a damper on my toy budget. Unfortunately it's gonna be a little while before it's done. After I get about $500 in fittings ordered I'll be able to start it but I need to buy my Data logger before I start testing.

Also I'm looking for the billet v-band clamps like the Turbo Smart ones. Let me know if anyone has a source for those. I'm not sure but I assume they are the same size as the JGS ones. It's for my EWG piping so I'll need 3.
 
Beautiful! Can you post a picture of your primary to block mount? I have a design in mind but yours might be better. :)
 
Thanks, it's taking longer than I'd like but I'm not gonna skimp anywhere just to finish it and be disappointed.

The primary support is 1" solid stock and the plate on the block is 3/8".

I don't like supporting the primary off the oil drain like most. They almost always weep oil. Not a lot but I hate oil leaks... Or any kind of leak for that matter :lolly:

Here's what the old girl looks like right now. I can't wait to see the stance with drag radials. I've got some old bald tires on it right now so the good ones can stay clean/safe. Plus that way I can get some nice 4wd burnout videos after it comes to life :lolly:
