Thanks Guys,

So I had to Dremel out the Lower Valance to fit in the Voolant Scoop here is a before and after picture

IMO it looks better.

I had to run to Home Dept First for these fittings

and here it installed

Going into the Valance

My HID Ballast Were mounted properly I just had to take them down momentarily


Also cleaned out the Supercharger This was filthy apparently one of my gasket was seeping

My 90mm Inlet

and finally got my LS3/LS7 Style Maf Connector

Do you know what your dynamic compression ratio is? Also, how much boost are you trying to put down?

Subbed to see the progress

How did you like the SRT8 compare to your Denali? I've always liked the SRT8's infact i was looking to buy one vs the TBSS.

From a performance standpoint-SRT8 hands down. Overall ride quality and looks goes to the Denali. Having a first gen SRT8 with only 425 HP/TQ stock felt ridiculous-I cant imagine the new ones with 50 more HP. Like any vehicle-mods became addictive but expensive with the jeep. I had a few bolt ons and a tune and was running mid 12.8's in the quarter. I likes the jeeps over the TBSS's cosmetically but the newer ones don't stand out like the older ones IMO. What I'd really like to get is the hellcat version which is rumored to be coming out-now 707 HP in a Grand Cherokee would be awesome!

When all said and done Im shooting for 10:1 Compression, My Engine builder and my Head work guy are all in sync... As far as boost The blower is a little small for the 370 hopefully shooting for 6-9 PSI, I'll probably have to pulley down to a 2.7-2.8 Pulley it's on a 3.1 Right now. Eventually I Will upgrade the blower to a 2.9 Whipple with some nice LS3 heads or the TVS2300. This will be down the line and not in near future...

I've been thinking lately about a Dodge Challenger SRT 392 for a DD, This truck is to modified to be a DD, Sucks but that's what happens when you go overboard, I've always loved the First Gen SRT8's they are beast, My friend has one and we raced and He launched on me and had me for about a half a car, until i reeled him in, It was pretty impressive. This is when I started looking in to them.. I like that they still hold their value pretty up.

looking good. can't wait to see the outcome. 2 things i noticed, the intake gasket and oring for the oil pump. if you are using the stock intake gasket there is much better metal one with gaskets that are beefier and less likely to leak. on the oring, I thought trucks used an orange oring. I know the one I used was orange from BTR, but your pump is blueprinted so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.

this should be a nice one and I can't wait to see how much power you make.

The intake Gasket is made by Magnuson which is the only one they make for this particular Blower. I pm'ed Katech about this and they said they use a felpro oring because it's a little thicker. I don't know....

How's Your Truck Running @bottomline2000 how are you liking the Trucker CAM? I already miss it, lol



So I finally got a break down on the parts that are gonna be used on the forged Motor and here is partial Picture of my Invoice, What do you guys think? This motor is rated for 1,000 HP, although I don't think I would ever see 1K HP, but I have peace and mind that I know I could pretty much throw anything at it and it won't hiccup. Well That and a tune go along way, lol

Yeah I wasn't sure if it was a factory gasket or not and I would figure if a company took time to blue print an oil pump they would get the oring right.

My truck is running good. I've been enjoying the trucker. Scared an old man when I revved my truck lol. He threw his hands up..all in good fun..killed a hemi truck..didn't know what hit him.. No regrets on the cam, but I have sprung an exhaust leak in my dynatech headers so we'll see how this works out since they're coated...

I'm sure once you get that forged motor up and running the Ole trucker cam will be a distant memory lol. I've seen one of the guys on pt.net running a blown forged 370 and his crew cab is running 11's. I'm sure you'll be in that ballpark.

I'll be happy with low 12's if i don't get it I'll probably spray a baby shot to get me there. I see high to mid 11's with a bigger Supercharger. We will see, I've been reading alot lately and it seems like alot of people are running higher compression motors on Superchargers, I want all my power at once.

That's awesome About you beating a Hemi.

Beauty and a beast in one. So jelly.

Thanks bro

Freshly Cleaned and Masked

3 coats of Primer

Painted my Valve Covers and Front Timing Chain Cover

With the Coil Brackers on and the sun hitting them

also painted/cleared my Alternator Bracket

Overall I think it came out pretty good

 

[Fosscore]

Wow!! That red pops!!!

 

[bottomline2000]

Haha, that color looks familiar!! Looking good. Those valve covers are going to look like they on fire in the truck!

 

[Pachanga02]

When I changed out my VC gaskets I was thinking about doing that and man now I wish I had done it. Looks like I'll be adding that to my to do list once the weather gets better.

 

[Travieso]

lol FML they aren't Red, It's Orange Chevy Orange.. Thanks Though, They have a clear on them.. Your HD Hood Motivated me, lol

Yeah I thought they came out good, I did

3 Coats of Primer
3 Coats of Chevy Orange
3 coats of clear

Hopefully they withstand the Treacherous hazardous Conditions, lol

Oh yeah no doubt about it, you should definitely add this to your "to do list" Just make sure you clean the surface good and get all the oil out.. That's Key

 

[Fosscore]

Haha funny looked a light red shade in first pic then that 2nd one had me almost guessing orange. Either way flaming hot is what it looks like.

I want @Pachanga02 to do this mod.

That hood better be mirror finish with so many coats of paint on it.

My entire engine is painted from oil pan to intake and it's holding up great. I have a spot where my driver valve cover gets a lot of heat from the hoop in my header and the paint is not bothered. It's good stuff.

I've been on the hunt for a HD hood and the yards around here don't make it ez. I'll find one eventually and join the club lol.

 

[Travieso]

here is some motivation @bottomline2000 lol

 

[Travieso]

So I almost waited 1 month for my AC Belt Tensioner to finaly arrive from Summit, LOL
