Since Chris drove down from VA, I figured I'd go visit Him at Sal's New Shop
 
All I can say is
HOLY YOU GOT TO SEE THE SIZE OF THE SALS PROCHARGER
WOW that thing is huge, Sal's beast is going to be exactly that when it hits the 1320. WAY TO GO SAL...........

I didn't stay long and didn't want to get in their way, but the new
shop is beautiful, plenty big, very clean, roomy, and has everything you need. CONGRATS AND BEST OF LUCK WITH IT SAL.

Nice to see Chris and his Beast again, pictures do no justice to
how amazing his Beast looks in person. The simply stunning engine paint is absolutely beeeeeeeeeautiful.
Polished Upped, Ceramic Coated and Polished Lower, other painted engine parts, Chrome Rims, THE ENTIRE PACKAGE.

Great to see you anf the Beast again Chris, safe drive home Bro

Ok here's some pic's

Thats all folks

Great Seeing you guys again, thanks for the Warm Welcome Sal,
Best of Luck with the Shop, and You with the tunning Chris

BTW
Best part about the visit was, I took notice to that WONDERFUL smell of racing fuel coming from Chris's Pipes, when I asked about it, Sal pointed me in the Direction of the Gas Station that sells it, which I actually had to pass on the way home.
HELL YA I STOPPED IN AND BOUGHT SOME yum yum yum,
Thanks Sal, that is like 5-10 minutes from my house, I'll be visiting there often.

Oh if your wondering why my Whine flattened out after I left,
sometime after hitting second, the truck was absolutely sideways
at like 5500 RPM, and I had to get off it to straighten out. hehehehehehehe
Dam VB, even in the 80's I still go sideways when I hit 2nd.
WOO HOO..............

Tim, not only is that Monster going to be a Beast, you got to see this thing, it's like a got dam Work of Art I tell ya.
He's doing an AWESOME JOB on it. HUGE THUMBS-UP

(Sorry about the glare, dont know why but w/ the flash on off, the Camera still flashes sometimes ??? I'll figure it out eventually)

At first this Motor truly has you scratching your head.
A THROTTLE BODY MOUNTED ON THE NOSE OF THE EATON, WTF ?
The orig TB opening, CLOSED OFF, WTF ?
A Reverse Throw on the Throttle Body, WTF ?

The Eaton and Upper Manifold only serve the purpose of mounting all the nessecary components on. They could be taken off (if you built a complete custom upper SOMETHING ? from the I/C up). The Eaton has no Rotor's or Nose, he made this awesome custom adt to mount the T/B on. The uppers there basically just to hook up the orig OEM equipment on.
This Motor is simply amazing, true cutting edge.......

Why didn't you dyno your truck ROB02 while your truck was there?

One run off NOS and one with the RaceTested Nos Kit.

The Swede Jun 12, 2004 06:25 PM

It was Chris's day, he drove all the way down from Richmond VA,
plus I have no Nitrous Tank at the immediate moment.
I'm sure I could borrow one yes, but I want to do a little more n20 street testing first,
maybe change to a diff fuel jet, change the fuel filter, maybe check and or change the plugs
(believe it or not, this is the 3rd racing season on the same plugs)

Me and Sal spoke for a while, I WILL get it on his dyno,
but today was Chris's day and they had plenty to do.
I simply stopped by to see Sal and the new Shop, and
Chris and his Beeeeeeeeeeautiful Beast. Sal did mention
he spoke to Denny @ Race Tested and that’s great news,
I'm hoping good things will come from that ?

I still have no clue what I'm doing with this camera,
but I think I should have taken higher res shots today.
I have 5 diff res I can shot with, I was using #3, meaning
I still have 2 settings higher in resolution I could have shot
with. Of course what you see above is a fraction of it's orig
size and res, Here's two examples:

Rob, did you happen to tell him there's no belt on that blower? I bet it would make like another 100 or 50 HP with one!
