    THE "SMOKIN' RAM" 2.8 pull truck build

    well long story short I ended up keep my 02. I SOLD EVERYTHING I had for the the truck performance wise. even the stack.... any way the last few weeks Iv been dumbing cash into this thing to make it wicked. it will be purpose built 2.8 class pull truck. I no longer drive it daily drive it so the whole street drivable thing is being used fairly broad. so far the truck will no longer be computer controlled. I am swapping out the pesky vp44 injection pump to a modified bosch p7100 unit off an older 12v. the pump has my custom ground fuel plate, 5k rpm gov springs, modified rack plug for it to travel 21mm. the pump fuels .120 fuel lines (stock .078 ) fueling custom injectors that are around 240hp units. since I have to pull the cam out to do the swap I bought a custom ground unit. the engine now will have a common rail head, off a 2005 truck. they flow WAY more then a factory unit stock. I will also be getting the exhaust side ported a bit. you cant port the intake side unless you machine off the intake. To me that $1300 bill to do it for 20 extra hp isnt worth it. it will have machined copper "fire rings" instead of an O ring. they allow upwards of 90psi of boost with out popping the head gasket. head will be loaded with 110lb valve springs, chromo push rods with a billet tip, all held down with 12mm head studs. the bottom end will be supported with a main gridle and arp fasteners due to it spinning 4500 rpms . the truck will have a custom s400 turbo. The turbo is a custom unit with a extended tip 75mm compressor 80/96mm with a 93 a/r. i will be running a custom 2 stg water injection setup. small things getting installed are a fluid dampner harmonic balancer, electric fans, electric water pump. the trans is going to stay an AT for now. more then likely will have a Goerend built unit in it. most of the "big" stuff is not going on at one time. I dont have $10k to dump into it at one time. so this thread will be updated. tho most of the stuff I have bought was a trade for something I had for sale. Build stg 1 will be getting the p-pump on. im hoping to break 400hp on a hx35w charger and cam. Stg 2 will be the common rail head, s400 charger, and custom injectors, should be around 600hp fuel only 650 on water. Stg 3 will happen this winter. where it will probly get a 13mm injection pump, fly cut pistons and billet rods with a balanced rotating assembly. looking for 750+ on a single charger.

    this is the turbo i have. its off this truck

    so this last week I have been cleaning the engine bay. I hid the entire engine harness and removed the A/C, one battery and grid heater.

    before:


    after:




    hid the wiring and ecm in the body under the windshield

    big hole to get the conectors through.

    BADASS!

    Oh, and I was talking about the truck!

    Make sure then when you turn the wipers on, it doesn't unplug your ecm!

    My vote is for a hood stack. Man up!

    My build was definately not as in depth as what you are doing now! If we race, you only have access to your economy tune while I get to run for my life balls out!

    I can't wait to hear it run!

    im the outcast on this board. I like my fox bodies but gota love the diesels! LOL you can definetly make power with a cummins before any serious tear downs. iv seen 700hp out of 03 newer and the head (not that id trust that) or bottom end has EVER been apart.. them powerstroke and duramaxes need rods around a stout 650hp. lookin at $2000+ there is guys near 2,000hp on stock balanced shot peened/cyro treated in a cummins with a1 rod bolts. I can buy a set of these or have mine done under $800

    i love diesels, but dont quite get the truck pulling thing? its cool, dont get me wrong, not my cup of tea. i really want a 7.3ps excursion for a tow vehicle, if dodge would come out with a full size suv diesel like the excursion, i would buy one in a heart beat.

    lol i dont get it either.. it takes a retarded swap into a chassis to make them go faster then 10s in 1/4.. so i figure make it retard in the body it came in and try to pull 30k lbs 300ft

    it sucks this diesel kick is going on, i want to find a cheap cummin dodge, not happening. whereas you could find 2g rams with the cummins for around 8-15k just 3-5 years ago
