Default STS Turbo Dak R/T

Ok, just so you guys don't think I'm 100% anti-teeny trucks, here is a clip of a truck KRC Performance did. They are about 5 miles from me while I stay at my mom's helping her with the surgery recovery.

That thing sounds evil, I love it! That said Hammer you gotta get your years right, that's clearly a 2nd gen body style which is '04 and under. '05 is what mine is, first year of our body style.

Sorry, my bad, it's an '03. I didn't have my "eyes" in yet when I saw this video this morning. The 3 in the post I read it on, on another site, looked like a 5. And I'd be the first to admit, I wouldn't know an '03 from a '93... I moved it to 2nd Gen...
I was on KRC and have better specs on it instead of what was in that thread I read. It's a 408 Stroker with 10 lbs. of boost and it dyno'd 530/578 RWHP/TQ...

I love the comments people make on YouTube.. they are sooo ****ing dumb, STS TT each pushing 7psi.. im pretty sure he things his "friend" is running 14psi of boost

and the other douche that cant read the info before asking about numbers...

its a 408 6.7 530/578 with SCT Tune and STS at 10psi.


and i agree with BadassR/T KRC has its up and downs, you either hate them or love them, they built a 360ci for a guy in my dakota club that has a 97 ram and the only thing that engine is good for is a boat anchor... he has another 5.9 ram with a few bolt ons and tuner and runs better at the track by about 1 sec... KRC = Kids Rebuilding Cars

Boy, you'd never know it anywhere around central Florida. Very solid reputation in this area. I've spent many an hour hanging over a vehicle watching Marty work, he has no issue with it and is VERY passionate about the vehicles he works on. He will explain exactly what he's doing. I've learned a lot since I came here to take care of my folks. His prices are high, but I've picked his brain enough that I've felt obligated to spend a little extra and get some things from him, like my e-fan and headers, even though I intended to install them myself, just because of the time taken to explain things to me.
And you wouldn't believe the vehicles in that lot on any given day, I'll pull down the road they are on and drive by if I'm going that way just to look at the plates on some of the cars and trucks there to be worked on. Not uncommon for plates to be from Michigan, Cali and I've even seen a Hawaii plate in there.

But that said, he goes through help like you and I change socks. I almost never see the same faces there besides his, so I know where you may be coming from. I had a network business in south Ga. for 11 years, and had the same problem, and if I didn't do the work, I'd count on having to go redo a lot of it...
