I think you should lift it.

 

hey guys thinks for all the compliments. Hopefully it'll be lookin even better soon!
Styx. Where did you get your toneau from and how much?
Edward. I got the CST 12inch kit in the garage. I'm just waiting on toyo to send me the 40x15.50r26. Then I gotta get the black asanti 26s mounted up.

 

 

 

bought it from some hick that bought a assload of ******* seconds for 300 bux, snatched the hinges on ebay for 30 bucks

 

Everything sounds good in my opinion except the cams. Ditch the idea for cams and spend more money on the supercharger. If you want to know why just send me a message on AIM and I'll talk to you about it. I'd keep the factory rear bumper, I think it looks better than the roll pans on most trucks.

 

thanks thump. We always seem to have similar taste so I trust your opinion. I'm out of town and can't get on aim. Send a message to my phone later if you will

 

There is a roush supercharger on clearance for 2700. Check the roush grill thread for the link.

 

I have a extra Roush rear bumper cover that may look good on there.

 

I don't think I've ever seen that, got a picture of it?

 

Post a pic please huitt. It seems like I would have to do lots of blower modifications to the roush to see the numbers I want. I think that's why its so unappealing to me

 

I am still able to use my factory receiver hitch also.

I was able to get 390/446 out of my Roush with Troyers tune and a 2lb lower pulley and the long tubes like you have so your goal of 400 isnt that far off. Also FX4Matt is just over the 400 mark with the addition of electric fans and the same mods as me prior to my motor build.

 

the trucks looking good, and its gonna be badass when youre done

just a couple thoughts i figured ill throw in there:

ok, i think the roush or fx2 valance will look good, but it will make your front end look a little taller. this is fine, but in my opinion, makes the sides of the truck look to skinny and out of proportion. for example the roush nitemare:



i think some side skirts or even harley style street tubes would fill out the sides nicely. again just my personal preference.

also if you are considering a roll pan, also keep in mind that you will not be able to use your factory hitch. i have the street scene roll pan hitch and it works great, but it is an extra expense.

as far as loweing the truck, if you currently have stock suspension, lowering 2" more in the rear would make it sit pretty much level, but will reduce your payload capacity. i think with my 5" rear drop, at around 1000 lbs, im resting on the bump stops. of course a set of bags will correct this, but also comes at an extra expense.

i was also considering fender vents in the past, but nowadays, every freakin car has those stupid stick on vents. i know the cervini's look much better, but theyve just gotten so cliche in general...

i like the ptm smooth bed rail caps, but i use my truck too much and i know they would just end up getting scratched. i think the fiberglass tonneau's are the best look as far as street truck, but again i use my bed too much. you will just have to outweigh what works best for you...

anyway, regardless, i think you have a great looking truck and it will be even more so when youre done

 

1. Not really a fan of those rims. But replacement is fairly costly.
2. Not a fan of your current grille (the chrome for the most part) but the Saleen style grille would be sick.
3. A Saleen hood would be nice, but they are also costly. ALso if you are going with a Roush chin spoiler and Saleen hood/grille, I think it would be fairly mixed up. Maybe a Fx2 Grille, Roush hood scoop, and chin spoiler, or keep it saleen and get the FX2 spoiler.
4. With everything being dark/black up front, maybe tone down the fogs with a little bit of nightshade.

 

Thats it?
