update on big ol blue
Been busy lately and ive been sucked into world of warcraft too. But i have done alot of **** to the truck in the past month.
Well lets start with
an RV cam!! SO MUCH ****ING TORQUE!!! cant keep the tires from not spinnin.
and converted it to roller. Bought a slightly used cam kit off craigslist for $150. Anyone who doesnt know what a RV cam is... its for towing purposes. Like for a motorhome or tow truck.
I also have headers straight pipe dumped at axle. Yeah, its mighty loud. Sounds sick with the ruff idle from the cam too. and an engine dress-up kit. i have a 4bbl edelbrock intake and a 625cfm carb to put on it. i just need to rebuild the carb. Ive put a stereo in it (/w DVD player and a 3" LCD screen lol).
and thats pretty much it for the engine and stuff. I also cut the front springs. Yeah i know its dumb but the truck looks good lowered in the front. It has better steering response around the corners also.
All i can say, once i get the carb on there, it should be puttin out a good 350hp. It feels like 300hp right now. But the torque? dayem!! Its all there. i can be luggin 3rd gear at 25mph and step on it and i will be sideways in a split second. Also my buddy gave me a set of slicks. I'll need em for when i race when the track opens. I was havin traction problems on the stock motor so yeah they will come to good use lol.
And thats pretty much it... With the cam im gettin about 8mpg, i hope for better when i get the 4bbl or im gonna be screwed. But hey gas prices are going down lol.
