Canadians Matt Bendoritis and Stephen Grundke of Khaos Kustoms have put together a simple yet very effective truck with Ruby 3.0. They skipped the bling and sparkle and went right to hard parts that have been proven to work
Starting with a solid Hamilton 6.7 block, a stock crank that swings the Carrillo rods and a Colt camshaft opening and closing the valves they have a stable foundation to build serious HP. The engine is forced fed with 2 Borg Warner turbochargers and injected by Flux Diesel 300% Apex Injectors. Matts truck regularly produces 1650HP on Diesel fuel and over 2030HP using nitrous.
Matt has named the truck Ruby 3.0 after his previously successful truck named Ruby 1.0. A daily driven street truck that is highly competitive in Alberta and has won a wall full of trophies for highest hp dyno events and drag races.
​
We wish Matt and Stephen the best of luck in the coming years and know there will be many more trophies and wins.
