Yeah you're in serious need of some professional tuning. There's quite a few shops out there now that can dial in OPTIMUS in a way that will blow you away.....

You have plenty of air for 1K rwhp.....Heck Morkable hit 1k+ w/ a Silverbullet.

I'm sure you have enough fuel for 800hp but may need dual's for 1K.

I have been admiring your build from the sidelines. I appreciate the attention to detail. Nice work!

I sent an email to the editor(s) at Diesel Power. For those of you that also want to help, you can email Diesel Power through the following link:

I pasted the URL for this post in the email. Hopefully they will take a look!

Again...Very nice work!

Looks great Wiggs, even better than I had imagined. I agree about going longbed, it would make the truck look more proporional with those wheels. Great job!

Thanks for contacting Diesel Power!

I think the look of the megacab fenders look better (IMO) and I also think that the truck (in person anyway) looks better as a short bed and that it wouldn't look right as a long bed. Pictures (at leats the ones I posted) really don't do the truck justice at all.

Hagerstown is only a little over 2 hours from Pittsburgh i think. I'm 45 min from there and exit 13 off the pa tpke is right around 4 pulling a trailer. just take i70 east from Breezewood.

And let me know when you head this way I wanna watch and show my wife your truck so I can get permission to spend more of her allowance on mods.

Hey Wiggs the truck look incredible. I also like the look of the short bed mega cab. It makes it look beefier. I can't wait to see some pics. What are the chances of you making a little video of it rolling down the street. That wouldbe very Also if i could change one thing it would be the tailpipe, I think it needs to be a little bigger, but thats all i would change.
