    Most definitely not a daily want it just to be a badder mf cause it's already a lot. Want to pump up the motor turbo or super need guidance there but I want the body and interior perfect and a nasty audio system. I figure 2 is overkill but I thoroughly enjoy going over and beyond, especially with something I'm so in love with, plan on going to some shows when I can and letting people check her out prolly play on the drag strip a bit honestly just a toy but more like my pride and joy. Definitely will be keeping her till the day I leave here, and I plan on getting buried with her in a vault big enough for us both, just kidding, or am I? Lol just want to make her fast, lol loud and sexy. More in the show truck direction.

    Got a new long block for sale that would be perfect for a turbo or supercharger and I'm in North Carolina, it's fate!

    I'm pretty sure I want to build the motor that's in her already being it's going to the paint shop early January I'm going to pull the motor and trans before it goes in there, due to the fact I'll be there awhile cause ol boy that's got the knowledge is about 65 years old but when I say he knows what he's doing man that guy is raw. Might take him awhile but he will have that thing PERFECT before it leaves his shop, specially as queer as I am going to be over baby girl lol. But thanks for the offer, may end up needing it down the road if i do mine wrong and the boost shoots a rod through the case lol, hopefully that wont be the case

    You may want to consider Nitro's engine. It takes a ton of patience and money when having an engine built. When I popped mine I wanted it back on the road ASAP! I love driving it! It took 14 months to get all the "stars aligned"and have her back on the road.

    My stars are still aligning, but work and other things like Hale-Bopp Comet (Google it if you don't know) keeps getting in the way. LOL!!! Only about $1200.00-$1500.00 more, I could have a 408, but for what I use it for, I'm good with 40 over.

    Flowmasters sound like cousins fucking, look into Hooker aerochamber, Magna flow, dyno max and spintech for exhaust and mufflers.

    Also, how old are you?

    That's very offensive to people who fuck their cousins......... they don't sound nearly as bad as Flowmasters.

    Welcome . Wouldn’t worry bout exhaust. With 2 sundown 12’s
    2 eights in the doors and 2 five inch kids inthe kickpanels you won’t hear the exhaust any ways. Post pics of the subwoofer pass through setup. Always wanted to do that.but I daily drive in Phoenix and park there so everything’s inside cab for me.

    Welcome to the club

    I had two 12” subs in mine, it is too much for the cab size. I now have a single low profile 10” in a box I made with the original rear seats and it pounds better than the two 12’s.

    Now that I have the stereo fully dialed in I hardly listen to it because I built the engine recently and that’s all I really want to listen to.

    I think I posted something on here for the sub box, it’s nice to have it looking all stockish inside, I hate cutting out sheetmetal for subs, that’s for high school kids and you just ruined your truck.
