This
month we are releasing the plans on how
to transform a stock engine compartment
into a jaw dropping, show winning power
plant.
Since the Suburban is body dropped with
front tubs to fit the massive
22” wheels, we have exposed factory
suspension parts. We have chosen to replace
these stock parts with Air Ride
Technologies tubular upper and
lower control arms.
There is no Supercharger like a Whipple
for this motor. The suburban will have a
50% power gain and have
tire smoking power at the
smash of the throttle. The Supercharger
will be the very first accessory you will
see as you pop the hood open. This polished
piece will blend in well with the Empire
Motor Sports’ under the hood dress
up kits.
The
next awesome accessory to be added will
be the Vitek High Performance Spark
Plug Wires and Wire Loom. Vitek
has revolutionized the
industry with the release of their unique
stainless steel wire wound ("Mag Wire")
conductor with a Dupont Kevlarâ core.
The wires are available in many colors.
For the Big Wood Project the guys at Vitek
made us a special one off purple
and chrome set. To learn more about
Vitek wires visit them on the web at http://www.vitekperformance.com/Product/Wires.asp
We are still working on the details for
the exhaust and ignition system. Stay
tuned to Gauge Magazine Forums
for the future releases of these products
and other great behind the scenes info about
the Big Wood Project journeys through the
2004 show season.
We
want to thank all our sponsors that have
made this truck a success. Please visit
their sites below and shoot them an e-mail
and let them know what you think about the
Big Wood Project.
