RICE EATER Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 i sould have just bought krambo's.. damnit..lol i just wanna be in the 11 sec truck club..haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 that really hurts to look at. I would look for a junk yard 6.0 and then get it back running, then ship out the SC to maggie and have them freshen it up or get the upgrade...then kind of start over. The amount of work getting these trucks in the 12's is nothing to be over looked and if you want to be able to beat on it you need to start over. Or get a stroker and set it up to not use the SC and you will not have to worry about the radix not being big enough for a 408. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICE EATER Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 well i understand what u mean.. but the truck ran 12.3 at 111mph...on a stock motor.. and stock cam and my thoughs numbers its got more in it.. was just spinning alil ive thougth about the upgrade.. but its what 2400? and then i get the head unit back.. and i cant really do anything with that? i dont think anyone would want just the headunit woudl they? i dont evenknow what that woud be worth.. i wish u could just send it in.. and they would keep it all and just take more money off...thats alot up money for an upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 yep, I dont get the upgrade deal...it not much of one. Maggie knows they dont want these old units, and what market is there for a head unit, very little. Going forged 408 will get you back on the road, maybe you could spray a bit and I am guessing it could be done for around $4k... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
