How about a D1X? That's the highest tier on the Procharger website without looking at the "racing" models.

And I bet you could get a cog pulley set made custom for a decent price and get an off the shelf belt that'll work.

I could try that if I find a good deal on a D1

Someone's already put the work into making a cog drive for the 3rd gen Ram but nobody wants to pay the $2200 for the bracket and drive system on top of the cost of the F-series blower that's required for it.

It probably is, but you know it comes down to what level build is acceptable. I do almost all my work myself and often change design and/or components along the way.

I remember seeing a kit available 3-4 years ago but it only ended up on 2 trucks and I'm sure it's been abandoned now, one of the guys sheared his crank snout iirc. I can imagine what you have in yours based on what I've put into mine, but at least I know mine works. I really want to tweak my design and get a new bracket cut but I also don't want to have to drop another $1700 for the work just to make it better.

The proof is if it is reliable and does what should. Mine is stll in the build process, but it'll be up when the track opens.

It depends if you can do the custom work yourself and have the know-how to piece a good kit together.
Good for me I have many friends that have built turbo for their LS. So when the day come they can help fabricate me a kits. Like I said once this 468 is no good I’ll just keep a simple 6.1 on a single turbo and 10-15lb and call it a day. Well that’s what I say now [emoji23][emoji848]

Nothing much, just changing it around a little. Did coil overs in the rear. Still need to install the fronts. Went to 8 rib, but think it could still be slipping some although it is datalogging 14psi. So been working on the cog belt. Its slow going since I work alone out in the sticks. Piece by piece..

Thanks, last tnt day, ran 11.66@117mph with 10psi and the cog drive should be a solid 15psi. So I'm expecting it to step up some.

I'd assume fbo, heads, cam, and tune+forge and boost. Not to mention a trans and a converter, if he's not running a stick shift.

I mean, dude has coilover rear suspension. Why wouldn't he have a fully done up motor and all the rest?

Dk if he's running nos on those times, though. I've learned SCRB's are totally different animals to QC's

Oh I agree I also have laddercar and dual adjustable coilovers. But even with a 5.7NA will benefit with coilovers. Well atleast a well modded 5.7NA IMG_0422.JPG

Oh, nice. 2 q's.

1. On my stock truck, I can't find any suspension connecting arms. It seems as though the axle is only attached by the springs, shocks, and drive shaft. Is this the case?

And 2. What is your equivalent drop level? 4/6? More?

Yes your right about the axle! My drop on leaf springs was a 5/9 but I haven’t adjusted the coilovers just yetIMG_0662.JPG this is my front
