The Official Silver Bucket Build Thread

All work is being done by Texas Hot Rods in El Paso, Texas.

Last dyno runs and 1/4 mile times with old set up are 342rwhp and 351rwtq...Best N/A time is a 12.09@112mph. Best 1/4 mile N2O time with 125HP jet with #7 and #8 piston rings letting go is a 11.44@112mph. The motor let go just after the 1/8. On that run the 1/8 mile time was a 7.2@99mph.

Here is a list of changes:
*Going from MAC 1 5/8" primaries LT's to Kooks custom stainless 1 7/8" primaries LT's
*MAC 2.5" O/R ProChamber to Kooks custom stainless 3" O/R X-pipe
*Dynomax 2.5" Race Bullet mufflers to Kooks stainless 3" Race Bullet mufflers
*Comp Cams Beehive springs to Manley High Lift valve springs
*Stage 2 port/polish to Stage 3 port/polish on my VT heads
*Forged reciprocating assembly rebalanced with new 13.5:1 compression pistons
*Black powdercoat on my P51 intake
*Accel COP's to MSD COP's
*CPR billet hi-flo fuel rails to Aeromotive billet hi-flo fuel rails
*Stock fuel tank with SVT Focus fuel pump to Custom aluminum 10 gallon fuel cell with Aeromotive 1000 fuel pump
*Weld ProStar aluminum wheels (15x3.5 front and 15x10 rear) to Weld Magnum Pro aluminum wheels (15x3.5 front and 15x10 rear) about a 30lb+ savings
*165R15 front radial tires (front) to MT ET Front Runners 15x4's another 15lb savings
*26x11.5x15 MT ET Streets to 28x10.5x15 MT ET Drags
*T3650 to TKO 500 tranny
*Forged 11.25:1 compression 5cc dish pistons to Forged 13.5:1 compression fly cut, flat top pistons
*stock steering wheel to Momo steering wheel (another weight saver)
*Dash gutted for weight savings...A/C, stereo, stock amps/speakers, air bags, insulation, etc all removed (weight savings)
*Bumpers gutted (weight savings)
*UPR polished aluminum radiator cover (added weight, but added bling)
*SOS Outlaw aluminum race wing
*03-04 Cobra sideskirts
*SPEC aluminum flywheel
*ARP 3" wheel studs up front
*Suspension dialed in for 1.3x 60' times
*Stock fuel system to Aeromotive return style fuel system
*ZEX wet kit with 125HP jets and dual 10lb bottles to TNT Hit Man wet kit with 150HP jets and 200HP jets and dual 15lb bottles

Pics of progress coming soon and page will be updated often...

The first stage after custom VT Engine...


How the Bucket looked after strip look mods and lots of R&D on suspension


The Bucket heading to THR...





Safe and sound in transport

We are finalizing a sponsorship deal with THR (TexasHotRods.com), and from now on any build taking place at one of our many sponsors' shops will get their thread stickied while the build is active.

Just a little way of giving them some publicity for giving our members a good deal on parts/labor.

So can I be my own sponsor (and get a sticky) since I am doing all my own work including install minus the tune?

That's great though, more sponsors.

you can be your own sponsor anytime you want... but you will have to sponsor LSS before you get your own build thread stickied.
