"What muffler are you running?"
Eviltwin, "Turbonetics!"
LMFAO!

*update time*
well, the other day Black Night and I were driving around in this thing and we lost the upper radiator hose and then the belt followed it. here is a pic of the hose...
apparently last time i worked on it, the hose was laying on the water pump pulley after i put it back together and I didnt notice. so here is my new hose, 1.5" stainless tubing in the middle of 2 90* hoses.
and the last pic is nothing out of the ordinary :rotf:

Re: 5.3/4L80E Single Turbo Typhoon Build
Those are mega fun on the street. We rode with a couple guys in Italy that would literally drift them under power through almost every turn. Their boots had metal soles and sparks would fly every time they would plant them down. It was cool to watch and though almost certain one of them would eventually end up high-siding at the speeds we cranked through the mountains, none of them ever crashed.
Anyway, nice bike

Re: 5.3/4L80E Single Turbo Typhoon Build
Thanks! I've had streetbikes and currently ride a Harley too but when it comes to fun on the street or turns(no freeway), absolutely nothing beats a supermoto bike. I like it too because it gets 45mpg so it cost me $8 to commute to work all week! Down side is that I get pulled over all the time since most cops think it's not street legal.

Truck came with it when we bought it. I would prefer to use a stock case but it would have been alot more $$$$$ to switch
