Nice truck...i'd get pulled by the cops daily with that hood.. ;D

Nah its not that bad. the cops dont even look twice. Its an 8 inch but because the glass is so tall its easy to see over.

Over here it would stand out... ;)

Right on. So how is the driveability and throttle response with the blower and the carb? Any hesitations or surging?

Thanks guys! The wheels are centerline telstars and the hood is a custom piece from glasstek. I had to call them and order it special. The drivability is great. It has an 850 4150 carb, a blower cam matched to the blower, and forged blower pistons. Everything else is stock GM. Stock rods, cast crank, and stock unported GM iron heads. There is no hesitation or sputteriness at all. It is very easy to drive on the street. It is very quiet until you jump on it. Then you can hear the whine of the supercharger!

Very cool. Any estimate on what it will run in the 1/4?
