My 08 RCSB 5.7

Took some fresh pics as well this weekend

 

Looks sick.

Call me when you're on your 4th head unit though lol

 

LOL ! Your setup is sick though

 

Those BBS rims you have. Are they lightweight? I'm already spending too much time thinking about a different/second rim setup.

 

Yes they made a big difference. Dropped right at 18lbs at each corner going from my 20in BBS to these. Braking, acceleration, and MPG gains were felt immediately. Haven't done any factual testing to validate my butt dyno gains but I'm certain it's there.

 

Damn. Very tempting. Although I love the look of my 24's.

 

Yeah me too

I'd only swap these out for the TRD 22's. One day...

 

What's the weight on those compared with these?

 

Just found someone had weighed them in at 39lb for 22's and these 18's are 27lb. Weight without tire for both.

 

Just looked up my 24's and they weigh in at 46. So not TOO much heavier than those forged 22's. Those 18's, for a second set, sure do sound fun though.

 

Assume 46lb without tire so another 50lb for tire and almost 100lb at each corner. Now those are steam rollers !

 

Bitch still moves though lol

 

Went to the track today, old girl did well imo for being N/A. She feels like she struggles some after 3rd, need to figure it out but only made 2 runs and wife said let's go. Next time I go solo

1st run was against a modified Jeep Track Hawk:

2nd run was against a BMW M4:

Stock BBS Pro tires aired down to 24psi and rear air bags at 7psi. 3/4 tank of gas (I know).

 

Nice build. Quick for a N/A.

Have you had any issues with the Mishimoto 160 degree thermostat? I'm in AZ where it gets over 100 for at least a month outta the year. Thinking about going with the 160 stat so curious if it opens too low during the winter time. Appreciate the feedback.

 

The O-Ring started seeping 2 weeks ago but other than that it holds a steady 176* in traffic. I may toss the stock back in for winter and see if it makes a difference. I plan on hitting the track again mid January.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I ordered one and some extra thermostat o-rings.

 

Got my Katzkins in for my 2017 seats


Pics to follow once I tackle the installation

 

From my limited experience with seat covers, tackle is the operative word...

 

Yeah definitely not for the faint of heart lol

I Katzkin'd my 2016 DC which took 14hrs total so hoping I have shaved at least 1/2 that considering I have 1/2 the number of seats this time around

 

Well it took 3hrs for drivers seat

 

Your headrest is on backwards

 

Didnt even notice that having not driven it yet lol
Thanks

 

I can't drive my truck without flipping the headrest, otherwise it pushes my head too far forward. I've read that the headrests from the back seats of a CM or DC are better but haven't found any donors.
