Well guys I am picking my truck up tomorrow! She had the cursed LLY head gaskets blow so I decided to get ARP studs, .45 over sticks, and a batmo S472 while it was down. 2 months in the works and this is the sneek peak I got. I have been beating my head off the wall hoping to get this setup built... Hope y'all like it!!! GIANT thanks goes out to Blackout Performance. None of this would have been possible without Caleb!

Look great! For a second there I thought I was in a 6.0 forum, reading about head gaskets and all...:whymewhyme:

I have similar thinking....while it's down, might as well replace it all at once!

Been 3 months saving for mine, hope to tear into in a month or so.

I really like your piping, looks great. Should be beast when you get it back!:favorites37:

You went with a batmo to help spooling? I heard the 472's are kinda slow, but the batmo should help! Only problem is no more VVT but Still gonna run like a rapped ape.

Good for you man. I can't wait to upgrade my trubo, and get studs and rods. Youve gotta be close to 600hp with that setup, just gonna need more fuel now and you could see 750hp=)

^ Will never see 750 on stock bottom end with an LLY, the rods will sh1t the bed before that.

I would be weary of DD'in 600 on stock rods with an LLY or did you have a full build done Dave?

Your right... I was just implying that it never ends. Power is addicting!

yup and that is why I am not even going to push mine past stock gear. All I want is a decently quick stock DD and I will buy me a toy to make fast on a poor mans budget.

Thanks man! Thinking its about 625 or so at the rear wheels. Probably goign to find out at TS outlaw.

Yeah I decided to get the batmo for spooling. Its incredibly drivable.. Like I thought it was going to lag a good bit but I can DD it no problems. Leaving it on my #4 tune ~550hp for driving everyday. I do want to save my rods, but I plan on enjoying the 600+ hp. If I ever get some rods I will throw some more fuel in there. It is plenty fast for now.

Nope stock bottom end.. Only internal work on mine is head studs.

Yeah mine is maxed out Stock turbo, engine. Good DD, and Still awesome power! But my real fast (cheap) toy is my z400.:favorites37:

I used to rock a full MX built honda 250r. Was a mix match of all 4 years put into one quad.. Long travels, bore kit... Damn that son of a b1tch was fast. Must be where my love for big single turbos comes from. Feels just like that old powerband did :biggun:

250r's are the sickest racing quads ever made! Well banchee is sick too, but my friend hada 250 r that went 85mph. He was crazy good at wheelies, and rode through all gears at 60 mph. But that thing would throw an grown man off the back like a frickn bull.

What are the plans for the truck? Pulls?or Dragstrip? Have you gotten a slip yet... before mods? I would love to know your times!

HDdave

Yeah nothin handles like that 250r did. Still miss that thing! As for mine... Mainly just a daily driver. Gonna get a few passes now with the new turbo, hoping for low 12's. Hoping for a full pull when I hook her to the sled. I think thats gonna be what I enjoy more. Plus running on dirt is easier on your all your parts inside than hitting the track is.

I'm quite interested too. The seat of the pants feel gives it 600imo.. Guess we will see thats for sure!

I would not be surprised to see 600 with a 472 batmo at all on stock gear bro. I know the stock turbo and CP3 become a limiting factor at the 600ish range but if you are getting it to light without draining rails or draining them too badly I bet you are pushing over 600 or right at it.

Well I added an LBZ regulator so that is helping out my stock cp3 along with my raptor 150gph. Caleb told me my rails weren't dropping below 21,000 which is pretty solid. Before I had my lift pump just a built trans/hot efi tune I was draining them to 11,000 :favorites37:

I would like to dyno it soon just for safety's sake so I know what I am pushing and how much I will need to baby it..

LOL or how much you need to pull some torque out of the lower end LOL


You can DD it over 600 but alot of tq has to be pulled out of the low end.

Haha yeah really.... I leave it on my #4 tune usually. It should make 550 or so, so its safe. The big tune is very drivable though. Gets pretty smoky but who cares... I dont think theres as many black smoke police on here as DF... LOL. #1 tune hardly smokes much so I can tow my white boat without changing its color... :favorites25:

MudDoc

I see alot of DF'ers talking **** about black smoke until they do it... then its ok cause "I only do it every once in a while and I don't do it all the time like some douche"

Well Mr. Double standard which is it... smoke is bad or is it ok only when you do it?

Yeah its pretty hilarious

Who said Smoke??? I personally ride around in my Max Effort tune, and every time I get on the gas I have a steady haze. I kinda feel bad when people have their windows down. But then there are times when I wanna black out some fukcr for being a douche. And sometimes I am just saying Hi to my friends, when they go one way and I'm goin the other, we both smoke to say "I see you"
