New pics 08/07/2007

The Gold wheels are the 1 piece Weld Magnum Pro's. Brian sent me some pics of these that he just got it to check and see if I like them better than the 2 piece. I decided on the 2 piece..so the new fronts will look like the rears in the pics. ENJOY...

Bumper guts...

New fuel cell...

**1SLO85** · 08-07-2007, 09:25 PM

13.5:1 compression forged flat top pistons before flycut machining...

**bandit** · 08-07-2007, 10:31 PM

i agree, i think the two piece fronts will look better.

SUfanINsa · 08-07-2007, 10:33 PM

Looking good man, hey with the old 11.25:1 compression ratio were you able to run 93 octane without detonation?

Yep, I had no problems running premium. If I was gonna run the juice, I added some Torco or 104 race gas just to be safe.

Just checking I'm running 11.3:1 in the 5.4 and was just making sure Premium would be fine, and my nitrous tune is going to be my race gas tune so no nitrous unless I'm on the race gas.

Ever think of blending some higher octane gas? You could do 110-115 and be everybit as safe as 104, but you could run even higher compression, and it'd cost about the same.

I'm gonna get a 55 gallon drum of VP to have at the house and I have quite a bit of Torco here as well.

**Jeramey@StrictlyPro.com** · 08-08-2007, 09:36 PM
