The trubo it a pt88-98. I have a friend that has almost the same set up. He has gt47-88 and he has put down 1250 so far and has gone 8.12 with the weight of 3200lbs. So im hopping to do some where around 1400 and run about a 7.80:burnout:. Were hopping the truck weight is going to be around 2700lbs:banana:. Note this is all guessing at this point. The truck should be rolling by next week if the rims make it here. So I will know the weight for sure by then.

That looks like a full tube chassis. I don't see where he is using any part of the factory frame.

It not really that narrow when you see it persion. It taken in about a foot total. That way the truck is lighter and allows for the front rear suspension that I chose wo go with. The weight were not shure on. Were hoping 2700lbs. I can pick the rear of the truck up right now and almost get the front up a inch or so with the motor in it.

Funny thing is I flew out to San Antonio last year to look at buying it. Then I flew back to Orlando then flew to Arkansas and bought a beautiful Red TT 32v Lightning.

Glad I passed......lol:beer:
