1 last project b4 I Quit . . 540" Twin Turbo Boss 9 for a daily pickup

That should be adequate for pulling a boat to the lake! But I would imagine a 7000 pound 4x4 truck with a Boss 540, even without turbos, means that you shouldn`t be expecting any Christmas cards from Al Gore, Greta, or the Sierra Club. As for the truck, I have seen that style of truck reffered to as a "OBS", what does that stand for? As a former owner of "Bump Sides, and Dent Sides", and currently a Super Duty, the OBS designation is unknown to me.

It means "Old Body Style", before they got Modular engines and were left under a heat lamp for too long.

Great trucks!!

#1 Reason for doing it as I am sick of getting Christmas cards from so many. Figured this should do it!

Being All aluminum engine it should take a bunch of weight off front end. I suppose will gain a few lbs back trying to get big enough axles and brakes on it so it will actually STOP!

More recent pic. Now to figure out where the large intercoolers will go. Will need to be pretty large to go with the HP.

You could put a spray system on it to keep the charge cool. Run methanol with the Nitrous Oxide and have it start to come on at five pounds of boost. No need for all the extra plumbing and complication associated with a charge cooler. (It works for me.)
