This truck was built up in just under three weeks. Rich and I met the guy at Sema show and went out to the racetrack to see him next day.

They seem laughable, but they do work.

And with their autos, trans brake's etc. Lag really isnt an issue over the 1/4 mile. As they launch with plenty of boost, and their foot never leaves the floor.

Fantastic bit of work, but it's just ruined my day as I'm building a TT LQ4/4L80E F100 that I was planning on painting olive drab.
Now mine will just look like a poor quality imitation of it. Bah LOL
