Its a Turbonetics 101mm "Thumper" and I think its a ball bearing unit. Good for somewhere around 2000/2100 hp. Not sure about the rest of the motor....I know he went to a better set of heads and some other stuff.

Yes Dale the Turbo is a 101mm ceramic ball bearing unit. The motor is a 383ci. Windsor. I'm looking to make around 1,600 HP. @ the crank with this combo. I also have a 401ci. Windsor going in the truck over the winter that should put the the truck in the 7's No problem!

BLAST OFF!!

Be carefull with any low flying birds or any stray bouncing basketballs. They don't stand a chance.

That is absolutely awesome. I want one to drive around town in .

Beautiful...just beautiful. Good luck with the test and tune.

Best post and pics I've seen in a good while around here.

Peace
