Maybe next week sometime when I have time I will pull out another truck I have that is in need of some drive time and snap a few shots of the fleet. It is serial # 001 of only 18 that Mr. Norm did. For those who don't know Mr. Norm.. Lets just say he was to Chrysler as Carrol Shelby was to Ford. Mr.Norm had a deep impact on the Chrysler Mopar world and will be missed for he passed Feb of 2021. I have him pictured signing and hanging out at various car shows with the first 2008 Mr Norm Super Truck

Holy crap that is so nice. LOVE IT.

I didn't want to lift mine that much, but you are now making me have second thoughts.

Yep.. Spent 3 days on the Dyno with Johan@ Diablo because back in 08 there was no tuning research that had been done on a 392 stroker in a 1500. After the 3rd day we came up with 422 NA to the rear wheels with 392 ring an pinion. , Could have been different number if I had went with the Kenne Bell supercharger but the air intake plentum side of the blower was on the backside and would not clear the firewall... Kenne Bell did not offer at the time an air intake from the fly by wire 90 mm Arrington TB on the front of a 4.7LC. I think they do now so that could be in the works this summer. The weak point is the 545RFE tranz. We waisted one on the dyno with only 356 miles on it and to date I have replaced it 3 times. Looking into a 4L80 swap or a Nag1 if I can get a stand alone controller that will talk to the truck. Mine was the only Supertruck with a motor swap. Truck #2 only had heads and a cam. The rest of them were bone stock with the Mr. Norm graphics package, wheels tires and interior from Katzkin. Took it to the 1/4 mile couple times and best I could get was 12.56 @121 on P Zeros
