I had a great Thanksgiving break!!! Road Armor bumper and Silver Bullet both in the same weekend! Just thought I would post some pics.

 

looks pretty good. now just need the Warn 16.5ti winch!

 

Very, very nice... but how is it that there is all that room in the engine compartment on the right side???

 

mmmmmmm looks great!!!!! I like that grill a lot!!!! but I like the turbo a little more....lol nice work Smokey

 

ok so lets hear it, how you like that silver bullet so far?

 

BTW what coating or paint did you use on your manifold???

 

Looks great Smokey!

 

X2!!!! I was thinking the same... Looks good!!! But I agree with soulezoo there is too much room there !!!

 

Yah, Ill probably end up taking care of all that space someday!

All I used on the manifold was some high temp paint from NAPA. Im not sure if it will hold up or not, but I thought I would give it a try.


As for the Silver Bullet, its great so far. It is quite a bit more laggy, but im sure its still tight, and i havent been able to download the stacker x2 progam, since im not at home. All ive got is the MPG tune. So its still driveable with only a 100 hp box. Once I get home ill put the stacker tune on and then I can use the tst, im sure I will love it. Ive only got about 50 miles on it so far!

 

What size is that silver bullet? and if you dont mind me askin how much was the road armor? I would love to put one my truck some day.

 

Its a full silver bullet, so a 66/74/14. They had a special on the bumper and it was $830 plus $300 for shipping.

 

Looks Really good!!

 

I would like to recommend you get an ATS or equivalent exhaust manifold to go with your turbo. It will help with the lag, keep egt's down, flows better, mates to turbo better and will keep you from blowing out the flange gasket with that big turbo. If that is an aftermarket exhaust manifold and the silver paint is throwing me off then disregard. Great looking truck and great turbo. Tom J.

 

Yah mine is still stock, I just painted it since I had it off. Aftermarket manifolds really help that much? Why would a stocker blow out the glange gaskets, just because they dont flow as well?

 

My sps 62/14 would blow out the flange gasket on my truck with stock manifold. It damaged the turbo eventually because of the leak. I paid Industrial Injection to repair the SPS 62/14 and stepped up to the Silver 62 with ATS manifold and have had zero problems with flange leaks. My EGT's droped a lot and I can't get my truck into dangerous temps even if I tried. I haven't seen above 1250 even with all my mods at WOT. Good Luck, Tom J.
