LET'S TALK ABOUT LEGACY
Posted by Jonathan J. Story - Blessed Performance Marketing on 6th Apr 2024
Trucks come and go, diesel or gas engines alike, the
difference is, the ones we remember, preserve, re-invent, build
to break, and rebuild, these are the ones that leave a
legacy. That legacy is not exclusive to the owners, and or drivers, of that truck at all. That legacy lives on in the
passengers, and spectators influenced by the trucks glorious
performance, appearance, and reliability, all by products of
the days, weeks, months, of meticulous craftsmanship. And
for those who labored in that process, the creative caveat of
cerebral and physical exertion becomes an arsenal of
wisdom, and supreme confidence in the career path chosen
, because it's what they absolutely love to do. Those folks
would be the entire Blessed Performance headquarters
shop staff of Customer Service reps, Sales associates,
Troubleshooting Techs, and Motor Mechanics, even the
fabrication shop, ensuring your power coating needs are ready
to perfected.
As in humanity, every trucks past is a different scenario,
some more interesting than others, but as you can imagine,
our owner here at Blessed Performance, Matt Story, has a
sixth sense for extreme potential. So when he spotted the
now celebrity truck status of King Twins, in his neighbors
house's garage up the road, he had to inquire. This lead to a
2007 Ford F350 6.0L Powerstroke dually sitting in his
garage for almost an entire year, he's a busy man, and had
no idea of what kind of legacy was about to unfold upon
focusing in on the project.
The original plan was to simply start the YouTube channel up
with an install series on just the "DIY Solutions Kit" which
is available for sale to this day in various forms for 6.0L
shoppers. But when discovering a blown cylinder, and
other crazy past owner issues, we turned this into the kind
of truck that may actually prove the mythology of
bulletproofing a 6.0L into arguable as reality.
This compound turbo set up of an S475 out front and a KC
Turbo S2R Dual Ball Bearing turbo in the Valley, and an
S2R Ported Intake for maximized air flow is epic in itself. However, since the build we also updated a bit with a
Blessed Performance Intercooler, Regulated Return,
HD Aluminum Air Deflector and other cosmetic upgrades.
The centerpiece of this work of art, is obviously in the meat and potatoes, while being paired with the unmatched precision of the Blessed Performance SCT Tuning.
Every upgrade you can imagine that would need to be done for a truck that was built to boast it's power while maintaining reliability in any setting, this means towing a gooseneck with two trucks on it, or a simple equipment trailer to and from our truck show appearances throughout the Dyno Tour adventures. We encountered all of these situations in our 2022 Adventures, and drove over 30 thousand miles without seeing EGT's on our CS3 Monitor above 1100, up or downhill don't matter.
With this in mind we are excited about bringing King
Twins back out for more Legacy building appearances,
before this truck is passed down the line to it's actual owner
from the start. Yeah, Matt Story bought this truck, and built
it, but he didn't do that for himself, he brought this to life through his love for his son, only son, who's becoming a bit of 6.0L Enthusiast himself.
Make sure you follow the kid on Instagram, he is constantly innovating content for his dad, and works at the shop every weekend, so he is on a path to success and this is his applause once he gets his license. But he's already gotten some good burn outs in.
It's these factors that weigh heavy on a trucks legacy,
regardless of who owns it, it's up to that owner to make that
truck into what they believe it can become. To make a reality out of your dreams.
Pending on the vision, goal, and budget, we give them the best advice out of pure sincerity in caring for the customers build. No matter if we are doing the building, or simply recommending the parts to shop for on our website. Because our website only carries products we stand behind, period with an exclamation!
We also thrive on the fact that most of the automotive
industry is a bit on auto pilot with customer questions, not
us, we give the consumer the full scope of the answer to
their questions, and if we don't have the answers we will be
straight forward and tell you so. When you think of any
lasting legacy from any place person or product, you
also have to think of the people surrounding them that
contributed to the growth along the way which
eventually lead to a legacy of legendary status.
When we considered all of these things recently, while
debating our new website design strategies, and other
forms of growth that will be prevalently unveiled by us
soon, we decided we needed to ask for help, to grow in
our ability to help.
Help us, help your trucks legacy, if you've shopped with us
for any of our new Blessed Performance products, and
or, any slew of build list supplied by our trailblazing
aftermarket vendors. We need you to send in your HD, keyword "HD" Photos, and Include in an email to Sales@blessedperformance.com a rough draft Biography of your truck, how the project started, why you targeted those upgrades. What kind of troubleshooting did you encounter while installing, did you install everything? If not...What shop (Name, Address) did you go to? Basically what we want is the full story, as much detail as you can muster, and before clicking send, we ask that folks copy and paste that testimonial into a google review as well. In fact, we will leave some infographics below this blog too, just keep legacy in mind.
