Wondered what you had in that to get it to run so well!

I friend and I built the cage...

I got alot done on it today might still be able to make the last race!

still plenty of time... would like to see your truck run.. louie

Update.

Congrats to the owner, Mr. Lamb was very pleased with this one. Beautiful truck.

Congrats on your NA win this weekend. Tell us about the trip!

I've just put all this together thanks to BBR, meaning the name, the truck, the online name. The truck looked awesome in the video I saw posted.

It was really cool to see how well all this came together.

How often did you have to drain the breather tank on the drives? I've found it to be daily when the humidity is up. Are you bringing to Drag Week this year?

I'm planning to do the Northwest Tour next year along with Rocky Mountain Race Week if they both run again.

*UPDATE*

ive got about 2000 street highway miles on the truck so far and its ran flawless. Valvetrain is holding up great and everytime ive taken it to the track its gotten faster.
Earlier this summer I participated in a "mini" drag weekend type race where we were 2nd quickest overall and fastest N/A car to participate. The truck ran its fastest pass to date on the last day of the event @9.76 136. (3000ft d/a at a sealevel track)

Just last weekend it ran its best passes at my home track in 4000ft air @9.90 135.
Im really happy how it running considering its a 3800 lb pickup on pumpgass w lil radials, leafsprings and full exhaust.

That's awesome.  Congrats on a well running combo and actually having fun with it!

What's your converter stalling at generally?  Rear gear ratio and tire height? How is it to drive on the street?

Wicked deal all around. Can I ask what rockers/valvetrain you used? Share cam #'s? Intake valve still the same?

Its got 275/60s w a 4.10 gear.
Drives great on the street.
Valvetrain is nothin fancy...tfs rockers, SS valves and a jomar girdle.

*Edit*
It does have expensive Crower bushing lifters in it. I felt it was a wise choice since it I plan on doin drag week type races w it.

Truck runs good,on that 9.90 pass did the car in the other lane have a turbine engine on it?Time slip says it ran 560.86 mph!!!!!

Just Wow, and runs on 91 pump gas. Good job.

When I grow up I want to be fast like you lol. I didnt realize you sprung for those bushing lifters. Wise choice. Probably the baddest pump gas full size truck of all time.

So now that you've had some miles and plenty of passes on it, how's the street driving with that camshaft?

Been great. So great in fact we're taking it to HotRods Drag weekend west in Phoenix at the end of March.
Made a few changes over the winter...

Its got a tight convertor in it now and a 3.54 rear gear.


Ohh...and a NITROUS BOTTLE

That's awesome!

Drove the Ford out to our local track 2 weeks ago and again today for some testing.
I cant believe how well this stupid thing is starting to work!
For big ol heavy truck it sure is gettin it done! We ran a best today of a 9.28@144.57mph through the mufflers on a MT 275 pro driving it to and from the racetrack w. all the tools, cooler, bbq ect in the back. Had a great day and thing we got a pretty firm handle on a base line setup we can fine tune from. Very happy .w the results.

Heres the last pass of the day w. the best 60ft the truck has ever gotten. 1.36
