Whissle For Sale? Taking Serious Offers...
rrmccabe replied to fast4popper's topic in SSs & VHOs Only
I am local and have seen this truck numerous occasions. Its a nice ride for sure. Good luck Chris. If you sell it I hope you dont by a Mazda and drink E85 ! -
Looks like a few of us are going to Porkies tonight. Guess we are going to meet up somewhere and roll in together. Should be there around 7-ish. So any locals... the more the merrier.
-
Well we should be there.
-
I will be going through Indy the day before. Running out to RPM to get some transmission updates. So is anyone still thinking about Porkies Saturday night?
-
Sounds OK to me. Who else is in?
-
Welcome. Any group Porkies plans in the future. I have to hang with you guys since there is not enough of "my kind" in the area. LOL
-
Maybe she will buff it out for you ;)

"It's probably better that you got a mazda,after all HPTuners wont have support for that so at least you know you can't Blow It Up!!" Allballz57" I saw E85 Brad at Porkies last Saturday. haha Congrats on the Payoff. I am sure you will find something to spend it on. -
Mid Wesst Meet In Des Moines!

Yea Newton would be a better drive. I think I will go to Cedar Falls in a couple weeks. Need a 1/4 mile time. -
Mid Wesst Meet In Des Moines!
rrmccabe replied to fast4popper's topic in Events, Gatherings, & Rallys
Wish some of you boys would have went. Not many street cars there on Friday. It gave me a chance to at least get a baseline on my tune. Ran low 8.2s all night with 2100-2200 DA. Need to work on my tune a little more but getting close. First run I asked the guy "Do I need to wear a helmut". He says.. "haha. No" Second run, the guy says.. Uh, looks like you need a helmut. But most the night I got my butt kicked running 5-6 second race cars. Funny feeling launching and seeing a car two lengths ahead of you with the front wheels 16" off the ground and getting out MPH at the end by 60 mph ! -
Whats a TBSS? LOL Congrats, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Thinking About An Aftermarket Stall.
rrmccabe replied to 00silverad0's topic in AWD, Differential, & Transmission Tech
Yes, around town you will lose MPG. On the highway they are pretty much the same since the TC locks up at low throttle and speed. But city mileage will suffer. I agree on Yank. Have had Yanks and Vig in this truck (TBSS) and I prefer the Yank. Its tighter at the same stall speed and Yank does a better job at rating real stall speed that Vig. My experience with price is Yank is not really cheaper though. SSSmoke Eater As far as picking the stall speed you should pick one that comes in 500 to 750 RPM lower than where your torque curve hits. Thats really all you are trying to do is get into the power band. -
I think that is something my truck needs every other week this year. Is it my imagination or are the roads around here loaded with crap?
-
OK, well since he had me quoted I thought he was talking to me. LOL OK on Porkies. I shall be drinking some of your beer then !
-
PS: Might be a good night to kill a couple beers and Brats at Porkies. I think I might run up there.
-
Not sure what you are talking about? I have had e-fans on mine since 1,200 miles. I am good.
-
Yea but e85Boys idea about duct taping dented popcans together to make one does not count.
-
Wonder if they do camshafts? LOL
-
I think I can get some of the guys from Browns to go. The service manager was talking about getting his Camaro SS out but we ran out of track time last year.
-
We can go to Eddyville if you would rather? I have not been to Newton to even spectate. The timing system sucks? I would say in a couple weeks. The next two weekends are mod weekends for me. First weekend I will do headers and high flow cats and they cam and springs the following weekend. They are a challenge on these things so gonna spread it out over two Then I need some track time. Can we take e85 Brad along too. Oh wait, how many feet can you run before you hit 4500 RPM? LOL

My only comment for those considering this that want the rubber button option. They offer a couple different button styles. One is squared and the other rounded. I originally went for square but kept knocking them out. They sent me rounded ones to replace them at no charge. Since then (8 months) I have only knocked one buttton out and that was at the TBSS nationals when I had to opportunity to make 32 passes down the 1320. Was pulling on the wheel and standing on the gas !! So I would go for rounded or you will be fighting the same issue I had.
-
Well good luck regardless.
