Truck looks great with the new wheels (well first time I've seen'em).
Good luck at the track.
What you think it'll run?

Looks good! Can't wait to hear some track times!

Last year without the blower it would run 12.82 at 105mph, hoping to drop into the 11's with boost.

what do you have for traction set up in the rear?

The rear is a 91 Ranger 8.8 trac lock 4.10 gear, the axle is fliped and I run James Duff trac bars. The tires are M/T Drag radials 275/60/15. Last year I could get a 1.84 60ft leaving just past half throttle. With the blower it will take a little more practice launching, this thing feels tooooorqueeeee...

Truly wicked!!

Could you give some more information about what was used to put this truck together? And mabey bigger pics? We love pics round here!

Looks like a fun ride!

Looks good. I spy a Aerostar grill. Have any close up pics of it?

We love pics round here!

Nitrous plate, Lokar cable, and notice custom 2 inch billet spacer between manifold and blower, this allows the existing Crown Vic pulley setup to clear the blower tensioner.

Astar grille mod.

Looks good... What the 1/4 times?

Sweet! Thanks for the updated info.

THAT'S where that grill is from. Truck looks great man.

That's an old school mod. Looks great. How difficult was it?

dingleberries, i was the first guy to do it....

any reason for the 174? seems really small for a decent 347.

Time to work on the rear suspension . . . those tires can handle 8s in the quarter.

coil over conversion for the rear?

Finally got a full pass at the track,

60' 1.626
330' 4.631
1/8 7.148
MPH 97.61
1000 9.320
1/4 11.158
MPH 122.58

Really happy with the way it ran, drove 40 miles to and from the track with no problems.

I ran it in July but the 4.10 gear was too low, we switched to 3.55 for this outing.

Also back in July it lost a head gasket a couple of weeks after the races, we installed FelPro MLS gaskets and they seem to be holding.

ever thought about doing cometic gaskets? I am doing them with arp headstuds for my motor being built. Just a thought

The FelPro MLS (multi layer steel) gasket that we installed are very similar to the Cometic gaskets. I am using ARP 7/16 head bolts.

The old gaskets were Victor NitroSeal and they didnt blow completely but were leaking combustion on cylinders 2 & 3.
