Congrats Sean.

Great truck, sir. My favorite part is how you fixed that Ford motor problem that a lot of those Fords have.

Now that you have the fuel pump situation and transmission sorted out, have you taken it in for a real dyno tune?

Numbers, man, we want something quantifiable. You were shooting for 700rwhp, and you have a turbo bigger than a milk jug, so what's that thing putting down?

Absolutely LOVE this truck!!!

I was born and raised a Chevy guy but I love this truck. I also love the massive number of butt-hurt Chevy guys who are screaming on the Hot Rod Facebook page about your desecration of a Ford.

Great way to get the truck noticed!

Very cool, congrats!

Thank you guys for the great compliments, kind of funny that it was a flash in the pan for a few days, lots of hate, but also some great comments and compliments.

Got the truck out to a couple of good cruises the past few weekends. It was pretty fun, truck gets lots of looks when I pop the hood.

Ron came over today and we made another half dozen or so changes to the tune. It is running better and better each time. Peaked at 10lbs of boost, we got almost all of the knock out and are making progress on the boost side of things. Driveability stuff is pretty much nailed at this point. It is running in closed loop mode and very nicely as well.

Truck is fast, even just like this its fast. Makes boost at 2400 RPM and just keeps climbing. We were not able to make and great high rpm passes as it just gets too fast for city even freeway boost pulls.

Ron has learned a ton on this stuff and is doing such an excellent job. I really cannot thank him enough at this point

I do need to install a blow off valve though, we stopped tuning for today until I get one.

Thanks again Ron, truck is getting fun to drive now =)

Sean,
I love it, and I bleed Blue.

I think it's sad when another guy cant appreciate the time, effort, creativity, craftsmanship, and lets not forget safety features put into a build like this.

I look at it and it gives me ideas, it provokes my curiosity (how can I improve mine), it makes me smile, it makes me appreciate the sport more.

You did on hell of a build brother, I love it, and I bleed Blue!

Well Done!

Joe

Kind of weird to see something I built in my little home garage on the cover of a magazine.

Get out there and get a copy =)

Sean

Great job Sean!
