fatass

[Comptizzle74]

well hiya folks i am the handsome mr compton from those photos up there. I own the 98 Silverado. Been involved with cars and racing since i was little, raced class 12 and class 10 offroad cars for a while, got out of offroad and i now race a Southwest tour truck at irwindale. love all types of cars, not a big ford fan but some ford do deserve there respect (GT500). Motorgen seems like a pretty cool site so thanks for having me!

[enkeivette]

Haha, nice photo shoot.

That ram needs to lose the front bumper in favor of a brush guard. And it needs to be about a foot taller, then more tire. Such a big truck, deserves a HUGE lift.

[enkeivette]

Don't listen to me btw, my goal is to make every car or truck uncomfortable and almost impractical for the street.

[Comptizzle74]

isnt that the way its supposed to be lol i have a set of thousand dollar hids on the front of my chevy to "blind" people talk about impractical

Welcome to the Thunderdome.

Welcome to the board. What done to your truck besides the obvious pre runner bumper and skid plate? Is it 2 or 4 wheel drive? What suspension do you have on it?

[Comptizzle74]

um well where to start its a 2 wheel drive along with the prerunner bumper there are custom side steps that were put on by the same guys that built the bumper, the lift i have is the rcd 6 inch, drops the crossmember, with eibach coils and bilstein 5100s also have a volant intake, and also intalled larger diameter plug wires, high performance cap rotor, took all the stock GM U-Joints out (stocks are non greasable) and put greasable ones in, Pair of KC 70W HIDS with custom switch wiring as BRIAN he's seen it, computer has been taken out and programmed for tire size and shift points, have upgraded hids for the regular headlights which are bright purple now and thats about all i can think of right now

[BRIAN]

[Jonluvsmopar]

$$$$$$$$ thats wat...

[BRIAN]

$$$$$$$$ thats wat...

grows on trees ;)

[Vettezuki]

grows on trees ;)

That tree died a while back. :sm_laughing:

[Jonluvsmopar]

yup i know but harvest is coming soon hahaha...

[enkeivette]

That tree died a while back. :sm_laughing:

Doesn't stop the govt. from pretending trees are plentiful.

So what's the deal with those Ram V10 motors? I heard the 1st gen Viper motor was built off of a Ram V10, different heads and cam or something. Can you swap on Viper heads and cam and be ready to go?

How much power/ torque do they make stock?

[Jonluvsmopar]

true vipers 1st gen motor was off the ram v10 i think u could put on the heads and cam but they changed everything to make more horsepower than torque like changin the crankshaft and forged pistons but the truck motors are awesome stock numbers are 310hp and 450 tq...

That's damn good, should be easy to hit 500lbs. Where have you taken it? Glamis?

[Jonluvsmopar]

Yeah I know aiming for it but its gonna take a while yeah I took it to barstow and it did awesome even without the 4x4 on... trucks are amazing
