Sounds like he is confused.

I would say a couple of hundred less than what you paid.

If you mean on the radiator, have you tried turning the other way by chance? You can put a set of pliers on it as long as you don't overdo it.

I know the stock crank can handle quite a bit. Personally, I wanted forged everything. I even looked at doing a forged stock crank. The problem there was that it was only about $100 cheaper to go with a stock crank over a stroker. I would say you'd probably be okay. I would get my block boiled and new main bearings put in though. Full stroker assy is $2k. That's rods, pistons, crank, and balancing.

Are you just trying to keep from buying a forged crank? Saving what would probably be less than $1k would not be worth it for a 15lb boost motor, IMHO.

That would be on the pressurized side. You can place your wb O2 after your turbo. You would just need to have an O2 bung cut in the pipe and leave your stock O2s where they were, if that has been the hole you were using. Plus, I don't think it's a good idea to remove the stock O2 from in front of the cats, if that is what you have been doing. The front O2s are pretty important to leave in place. The stock cats don't really have anything to do with that.

I didn't think you could put the wb O2 sensor in the charge line for a turbo? Unless you have it after the turbo? Maybe the LC-1 is different.

I could go for some pics or vids His truck was pretty badass. How did you get the 90mm FAST TB and Intake to work? That was the last thing he was working on.

Was there a ? somewhere. These trucks have been posted on here before. Nothing really special. It would be called a LT in the states Maybe. I'm not even sure it's LT caliber.

I would like to see more people doing them themselves. Wasn't there a how-to to go along with instructions? The amount of money some are getting charged kills me.

The SVO injectors are larger also and require a pigtail changeout. Many f-body guys run them when they upsize due to the quality. It is suggested that they are the best on the market.

Looks badass, Jeff. Got any pics with the intake cover off?

Yeah......

Jeff, are the rockers adjustable? I can't remember what type of lifters you said you were using? If you are using stock type, how much pre-load are they setting it to to start with?

Don't they use Ferrera valves? Or, are they making those themselves also?

What would cause valve stems to mushroom? A hammer?

Rocker arms, push rods?

Not too many good things being said about Patriot here lately. At least one sponsor has dropped their products from their line. I believe it was Texas Speed. Good luck with them. Adjustable rockers and CompR lifters?

Just means we have the more rare color.

That has been posted on here before, including the number vs colors. Do a search for it.

They only made a little over 10,000 it's first year. From the numbers of '03s still being bought new, I'd say that they wouldn't exceed that number for '04. I still haven't seen any numbers though.

I have the Transgo HD-2, series B, shift kit and corvette servo. I bought it from JAG Performance in San Antonio. It has 2 spacers installed. I have the Yank TT2600 converter. Both are self- installed. Moderate towing 2-3K pounds (boat).

Install is fairly straight forward. As long as you don't freak when you see the valvebody and have to take it apart. It's really easy and can be done in your driveway. Just get yourself plenty of old t-shirts or towels to spread underneath. It constantly leaks while you're under there. Drop Zippy a PM on the Superior kit. The transgo is available through Tbyrne, but not sure if he has the HD kit, which is the one you want. It's also the same one that FLP puts in their trannys.
