I love these kinda guys...some of the Roadkill videos take me back to the '60's when we bought the biggest thing we could find and tried to make it work

He just turbo'd his wifes 2007 4.8 liter 2007 half ton...and this guy can tune...and knows what he's doing... for no money. He figures 400 whp on 5 psi...and 500 whp on 10 psi...on a conservative tune. Trick flow cam...chinese turbo...and that's it.

That's was actually a bit entertaining.. . I liked the street scenes. Reminded me of when you could hang out on the drag and the only worry was getting a "minor in possession" ticket.

The fairmont actually has a borg 76 on it.

Here is some more videos of the car:

After he sold it - the guy degree'd the cam and it makes stupid power.

Pretty sure I read the 4.8L in his wife's truck got a Howards cam.

His work has gotten less sloppy with time... but, it sure is bare bones.
