Meet the Beast!! 10's on 5k???

jaysus h chrysler...does that jpar guy ever Stop??
i just read thru 8 pages and 5 of them are bashing.

im Interested in the Topic and concept.
i agree he wont run tens,
but hes just building the truck to drag and have fun with as far as i can tell.
and,he wants to do this on as tight a budget as he can,no matter What it ends up running right?
soooo...can we just stick to the topic and leave the bashing and catty remarks behind?

ps,im following your build because im doing the exact same thing with a 89 shortbed.
currently,i have a rebuilt 360/727 HD trans with 355 gears i just dropped in.
id guesstimate it would run 16-s or 17-s if was tuned to perfection.
for 12-s thru 14-s,id say big slicks and a better gear.
i also found the twin turbo builds to be Very interesting,esp the prices the one fella here quoted.
when i was debating this,most everything i found added up to around 4grand just for the parts..?
why not do a single turbo?...would that fit the budget?

Awesome post, and you nailed it! It cost nothing to try, and we lose nothing if we don't go tens, and we'll be happy wherever we end up.
