Triple turbo monster mega cab.

Purpose of the truck: Purchased stock. First thing that had to go was obviously the weak 48re in favor of an ATS trans. I wanted the mega cab because I drove a QCLB at my previous job and HATED the little back seat but loved the longbed. Mega cab had the space I needed inside but hurt in the cargo area. Truck was then stretched because I haul my snowmobiles, 4 wheelers, g-neck trailer ect. Truck was then upgraded with an arson kit, ddp 90's, ATS compounds, mp8 and bullydog. One unfortunate day racing with the mp8 cranked it stuck an injector and damaged a piston. Out with the old and in with the new. Motor was upgraded with 14mm mains, gurdle, 12v peened/polished rods, flycut coated pistons, billet pushrods, dp1 cam, gdp intake plennum, 110# springs, keepers/retainers, and I reused the ATS H11 studs from the ATS twin install. Decided to upgrade to 180hp nozzles and ditch the mp8. Truck made a consistant 732hp and ran 12.8 @ 107mph all day long. Tech'd in at some pulls and the truck weighs 8440lbs with 1/8th tank of fuel. Stripped some weight to meet the 8k mark and had some luck at pulling. I still used it as my DD/Tow rig ect. I pulled trailers as big as a 40ft enclosed from WY to MI and back. Great all around daily driver. My new job came with the option to lease my truck rather than drive a company provided rig. Truck made a killing in mileage and truck perdiem BUT it put on way to many miles and abuse for my liking (hense my other megacab longbed work truck) so I decided to keep it on the sidelines and up the power even more with wide open performance triple turbos, 300hp nozzles and upgrade the ATS trans with a PCS standalone and VB. As mentioned I had a little problem with the #4 piston so its tore down again to get build even better. That brings us to current. Truck has went from stock - mild - wild - extreme and now im in over my head . I attended DPC 11 this summer and helped out at ATS and the idea of entering the comp was decided after watching it.
