i havent been around much lately, life has me busy... anyways... i blew my stock transmission - broke the output shaft... Ordered the 4l65 built unit from performabuilt... they sold it to me with a 3000 stall which was WAAAY too loose (not their fault, i asked for this size stall) so they sent me FREE of charge a new stall... and THEY paid for the new one to go back. (I paid for the R&R) i put about 3000 miles on it and then went and had the truck dyno tuned when i add the long tubes... 3 days after the tune, BOOM... tranny blew. They immediately sent me another transmission within a couple of days... FREE of charge and no shipping... and let me keep a spare TC to help offset the R&R charges... when the new one was installed... it lasted less than 300 miles... it blew when i was driving IN TRAFFIC in the RAIN... going down hill, so there wasnt any load on the tranny... i then suspected a faulty tune, and bingo... i had my tune looked at by a couple of different tuners and sure enough my tune was all fubared... nonetheless Frank knew i was fustrated and wanted to help, he also knew i was building a new powerplant and he said we should throw an 80e at it... i paid for the performance upgrades from CK performance, but they swapped out my 65e for a fully built 80e with a new TC, shipped it to me at no cost.... the above is purely a statement of the facts, and there isnt any personal judgment or advice either way, take it how you see it. I cant say if any other transmission shop would have gone out of their way like performabuilt as i have not dealt with anyone else. I know a lot of people like Dannys transmissions, FLT, and others.... all have great reputations. at the end of the day, the choice is up to you... i have only stated my story for the record. But for customer service PB has more than exceeded my customer service expectations

OMG THAT IS SICK!!!!!!!!!! i hope they make 'em... reminds me of the new camaro crossed with a CL benz...

what dave are you referring to?!? Have i gotten the "Dave" title all to myself?? there are a ton of Daves on this site...lol ook the link at the top led to a page with an INSERT FACE HERE, with two chicks pillow fighting... but after looking further i see you can have 3 dudes pillow fighting BAHAHAHAHA>.. holy homo... of course I added my face to the two chicks, but then I added Brian aka blownchevy to the all dudes vid... and I am posting it up on PT.net... I doubt i will be getting my TVS anytime soon.... HAHHAAHAHAHA

when you say down south you really mean down south...

i saw a picture somewhere where they embroidered the head rests in the seats with this skull... it looked sick, but yea it should be limited to a "Punisher" edition with bigger wheels/tires, tuned exhaust, and some other performance mods....

i tried to explain to my wife for ten minutes who this guy was... all of his movies.. and I even mentioned his salad dressing... she had no clue!!! after i kept trying to explain and show her pictures, the salad dressing bottle reminded her... jeez... the youth of today.... Hollywood lost a legend today... tragic. RIP

KICK ASS SHOP!!! Im jealous.... did you buy it or make it or both? tell us the story!

tell me you HAVE insurance?? transmission - at least get a built one... around $1400... if the entire rear axle is gone, around 1k for a used one... $1800 for a new one (built)... misc body pieces... who knows... wheels and tires... another 1k.... youre probably looking at around 5k if not more... plus installation... my guess would be in the neighborhood of $7500 if not more... if you have insurance it all will be covered....

hahaha FU chase.... you WOULD look good as a homo police LT... im sure you already have the short shorts... aka booty shorts.... and talking queer wouldnt be too much of a stretch either... CHASE =

looks great... but come on... lower the rear end... shackles are $75 bucks and it would make the world of difference!!!! Level that bish FTW!!!

it looks better than it did... but....

PHOTOSHOP FTW!!! Ilike the SS version...

F* ben and jerry's too... they are anti-gun freaks... i wont touch any of their products...

video is a must if you go.

last reports they had to induce DJ AM into a coma to reconstruct his face.... 50% burns on his face alone... he will be in a burn center for quite awhile. also people reports travis and AM running down the freeway on fire trying to put themselves out... they airlifted AM but barker refused to go by air and they transported him by ground. Also reported that travis was in so much pain they had to punch him at the scene to knock him out... not sure if i believe that however. Ive meet travis a few times, super cool guy... i wish them the best and a speedy recovery.

thanks for trying to keep the peace danny boy... im only stepping in cause i was notified via the REPORT button... jason play nice... Rausche was sticking up for steve-o...

yes they are tight, they stay together without any screws... obviously you have to run screws when you install them, but yea they are tight... just dropped off the block today... should have it back tuesday... motor build should begin next week. Im replacing the rear axle... going with a 9.5 - 14 bolt... with a locker rear end.

a member on our site named - Autoguy - has a company that makes those hockey stripes.. hit him up! on the award. what # were you?

im running FI... so im keeping my compression tame - 9.5:1 thanks for the comments... this build is having an impact on my bank account... ugh... i just cant wait till it is done... im tired of spending money on this...

Ok so more updates... Here are the 4.125 Pistons from Wiseco... I was at WCCH today and took some pics of my head being ported... Stage 2.5 L92 heads Finished product Patriot Extreme Springs... I had the Rockers taken to C.H.E. Precision and they did their bushing setup... good for 10,000 rpms! And last but not least - - - The ABear Coil covers FTW!! Thanks RYAN! tomorrow i am off to pick up my new rear axle... a 14 bolt 9.5 with an E-Locker... Stay tuned!

i knew i was missing a few things on my truck... a wing, chrome fender flares, and some kick ass side steps... FTW...

wow that is a bad ass truck... congrats on the build and putting it all together... you should be very proud of your ride bro... cant wait to see the cog set up!! what kind of HP/TQ do you have?

some funny ones right there!

advise My advice go with a vette or a fbody... you can always tow it with the SSS... plus on a SCSB you would have to tub the rear end to get some traction... i guess i would go with the camaro SS...
