thats a pretty BA setup man but i dont think that would work for me here in the winter with a few feet of snow....

 

With the guys that do a lot of dune traveling, the guys are cutting a area out of their bed, and routing the intake up through the bed. This will eliminate a lot of all the rain/slush/dirt etc that your filter might see if its under the truck.

 

Haha yeah RWD with a turbo'd 360... No i don't think that would work all that well in the snow. My uncle had a hard enough time driving his vortech '97 cobra in the rain let a lone snow.

 

I'm telling you how these guys do it. There are 360/408/440 mopars running this rear mount. They make an adapter elbow that runs up through the bed of the truck, this clear all obstructions and or problems. kind of like a hatch that can open and allow an elbow extension. You can also build a shield that would weld on and blow the bottom and sourrounding part of the filter to eliminate this from being a problem.

 

I was talking more about the fact that a 2wd with a lot of torque means no traction. Doesn't matter how much weight you put over the tires or anything.

Hey bondslayer you have any pics of your r/t anyway?

 

You are very correct on the weight issue. I will try running some 17x12's in the rear on full hoosiers, if not I have some bigger m/t's I will try before I have to go to the ladder bar route. I would like to keep the bed usable.

Let me get some pics for you real fast.

Thats a sweet r/t. What kind of setup are you running? What tranny? And what are the dyno numbers on it?

 

thanks for those pics bond

and bpark to answer your question... why not?

 

bond, is that one of those checkmate tonneaus? i want one SOOO bad but they are impossible to find at a reasonable price...

 

Cover came on the truck, I am pretty sure it isn't made anymore, but I could be wrong as it fits flush with the body.

I just noticed krc now offers a twin turbo kit for around $3500 so if any of you guys want to add 2 turbo's, you can!

There arn't any dyno numbers on this set up yet, it's on the dyno this week.
