The Rise of the Shawty

[Cowboy]

Howdy guys, it’s been some time since I was at all active online, but hopped on to see what was new and figured I’d let y’all know my current project.  About a year ago I bought the shawty, it’s a 1995 rcsb. 

 

did the basic round of mods, maxed 180 pump, injectors, a s362, and a transmission that could hold it.  Did 540hp on that setup 

 

that setup was a blast to daily drive, but I wanted to play with something new, so I decided to common rail swap it

 

with some pretty good size wirly boiz

 

all this was done in a rush to try and make it to the ATS gauntlet challenge, first fire was a week before the competition.  
 

I am glad to say we made it there!

 

 

Overall made way more power than I was expecting to, I was 30hp away from the winner of my class at 1061hp.  I found out later my boost controller was defective so it was fully opening the gate by 35psi so it wasn’t quite ideal, and put me down on power.  

 

I’m still tinkering on it, trying to squeeze a little more out of it, but hope to be above 1200 by the next time Northwest Dyno Circuit has another competition.

 

Ive been dailying this thing to work every day, and can confirm it is a blast to drive.

That's a pretty cool project @Cowboy.  I converted my rclb to a rcsb too.  It was alot of work but it was worth it.  Did you convert yours or was it already done?

I bought it as a rcsb.  Yours must be a blast to drive being 4x4 I bet theirs not much on the street that can touch it.

Well I only got about half the hp you got and am still at 6000-6100lbs.  It will stretch cars off the line but they can reel me back up if they have the hp.  It will almost run with my other Dodge that's half the weight and has a big V-10.  But those newer cars just got hella power.
