so i have been struggling with the idea of making my crew cab short box lmm a diesel race truck but it is fully loaded and way too nice to cut up.
this is why i bought the following truck:
2006 regular cab long box 220k mile, 2wd, lbz duramax, W/T
this truck will probably not see the road very often and be more of a project race truck.
future plans include:
Exterior:
cut the box apart (just run bedsides)
find a carbon/fiber glass hood
lower the rear 4"
lower the front possibly do a 5 bolt or 6 bolt conversion to save weight
caltrac traction bars
and some sort of 30-33" slick on 16" wheels
fuel tank delete/ fuel cell install behind rear axle between frame.
hoping to make it weigh close too 4500lbs with me in it.
performance:
i plan on taking this truck to its motor limits next year, with the following mods:
single 10mm or 12mm cp3
220gph lift pump
100% over injectors
s472sxe turbo
SDP t4 install kit
hood stack
wagler performance oil pump
should be right close to the 700+hp mark
if it hold at that power level it might get a cam and valve springs to get a few more rpm's out of it.
