    True. Those are badass rims IMO. Always liked them. Sure the tires look puny, but for towing / street they're probably great.

     

    They aren't to bad for driving. I need to find something to not make them look so small. One of my buddies wants to buy them, so he's helping me look for 20s/22s.

    I sure hope that pulls your SS. My 1500 laughed at me when I tried to pull mine. Mines a 2008 5.3 for reference.

     

    Researched it first. Most are towing 6-7k lbs(a few upwards of 15k lbs) with the 6.0 just fine. Its capacity is like 10200, but I think that would be tough. It does 5k fine, tested that for a few miles before I bought it.

    Honestly the TB would pull the SS, but it felt like a boat anchor back there.

     

    No it wouldn't, if it's a 6 lug now,

    It's still the wrong bolt pattern for the TBSS Rims. 6x5 on TBSS and 6x5.5" on 6 lug Chevy trucks like sometime in the 90's and up.

     

    Glad its an 8-lug then. I would've been pissed-lol

    Traded my 03 TB in for this thing.

     

    2003 Silverado 1500 HD

    4x4

    LOADED-except moonroof

    112k miles (TB had 160k)

    LQ4 6.0L

     

    Bought this trailer my SS since the TB obviously couldn't handle 7k lbs.

     

    The pic below is totally untouched right after getting home from the stealership. A few appearance mods are planned with a couple performance down the line.

    -tint

    -black out chrome

    -bed coating

    -new front visors

    -LSx car coils and NGK plugs w/ TBSS plug wires (DONE-had the crap sitting around)

    -FULL detail and paint restore

    Prototype? No, that's the new template already approved by Nascar. As far as the grille opening is concerned, look closer...

    And regardless of the car's styling, they will always have different grille openings depending on the track

     

    Fair enough. The proto was similar and had black mesh, but that was a few months ago. Id like to see the wind tunnel results for all of them.

    that charger looks good for nascar

     

     

    You realize thats a prototype?

     

    It will NEVER see that much of an opening for cooling when its done. 200+mph with that opening=airborne!! The final car will be more like the nationwide series I'm sure.

     

    But yes, good looking car.

     

    The only problem is that Dodge hasn't found anyone to drive for them next year. They only have one full-time team this year (the two Penske teams) and they are switching to Ford next year.

     

    Robby Gordon.

     

    NVM...your right.

    Sounds like a winner.

     

    Winner winner chicken dinner!

     

    Still waiting on my parts quote. And no matter what the crank wouldnt be in until 7-30-12.

     

    Replacement parts list are as follows:

    Eagle 4340 crank Part Number # 356-434740006100 -equivalent to what came out

    standard clevite cam bearings Part Number # 695-SH1814S (original look fine but why keep old in a new motor?)

    H-series main bearings Part Number # 695-MS2199H (this motor had P...seriously??)

    H-series rod bearings Part Number # 695-CB663HN (this motor had P...seriously??)

    Total seal gapless rings Part Number # 901-M3690-35 - Mahle originally

     

    All my block work was done by him, bore and torque plate hone, short fill of hardblock, polished the crank and did bearing clearances. also checked the balance.

     

    went back later when I switched to the cable drive fuel pump to have some parts turned on the lathe to work for my car and he did not even want to charge me, very nice guy

     

    Good to hear!!! Seems like a good guy so far :)

    Stock pickups are a known issue, hard launching, stopping and cornering = oil starvation which is what it appears you have experienced.

     

    Motor had 2100 miles and less than a dozen hard launches. The gate is supposed to prevent oil slosh.

     

    It is oil starvation, but why we dont know. The barbell oring was damaged in spots, both the top and bottom of it. Builder said it was during removal, theres no way. It couldve possibly been damaged during one of 4 rear main seal replacememnts i did trying to fix an oil leek that ended up beinga missing crank cap.
