I am interested in seeing your disk conversion for the back. I've nbeen thinking about fabbing something like that but if you've already done the engineering, I'm interested.

He must be running about an 12sec 1/4 mile then... I'm not believing this... considering, I've never seen a Vortech charger for our trucks... nor have I seen rear disk conversion, anywhere, in the two years I've been searching... Post pics, track times, and a dyno sheet, please. Then maybe I can beleive it. _____________________________ Click me if you want me at the Dodge Forum Meet and Greet (in reply to 4x4QC06V8DKTA) Post #: 7
