Welcome to the club. All it took was a test drive and mine was hooked.

I think it will be fine. I cant wait for the vid of it running. After 2 years of being down you loose interst in the truck all together. but i was also living out of a suite case and i didn't have a garage to work on it.

I would go with a Magnacharger Radix. its the best bang for the buck and is a complete kit.

I just picked some up from performancecenter.com for $191 shipped with the 4th of july sale. so any more updated on these shocks? hows the launch?

you are correct but he didn't let out of it until it was too late, and the guy in the red tuck from my understanding dont have enough money to repair his truck. I hung out with the L guys at KCIR where this took place and they were all pissed at the guy. They invited me out to Lfest 6 this year. Should be fun

your making up 2 right? one for you and one for me? my fast intake went towards the 3rd rebuild.

I would paint them. I have ssbc and there were coated and they are rusting

Personally I would stay away from ASM. Been there and done that. collectors are crappy, and you cant hardly put bolts in them. then i had mine for abou 8 months then pulled the 6.0 for the 1st 408 and they were pretty rusted up and they have the high dollar coating on them. i called them up and got sorry not our responsibility. I went with dynatech. yeah they are a little smaller but the quality is great

Ok its been a few weeks whats new?? have you figured out how your going to run the belt with the electric wp?

yes and no, it will bolt on but you have to put a car style water pump on and a relocat bracket for your idler pulley. then you have to deal with the fuel system, rails, FPR. there should be some write ups on it.

and I could be interested in the intake but not tb

KCIR SCHEDULE Here is the schedule for the track.

Im in kc now. still learning the area but I am pretty much down for what ever and when ever except the 10-14of july

I think a couple of ds loops will do it. it helps alot that the tcase is splitting the power. I would hold off on one. because you know in the back of your mind that your going to have to do the 80e

i agree with chase, you need to start out with a 3/4 ton drivetrain. now you just added 1000 lbs to the truck. you can start and try out a 80e tranny but with the weight and about of power its going to need will just eat that tranny. then if it does hold traction is going to be a problem. you can build a motor to make the power like a lsx 488 with 6 bolt all pro heads and some twin turbos because its going to be hard to keep a belt on the motor trying to spin a supercharger that high.

oh yeah dont forget to key it or pin it. Those crank pulleys like to spin at 6700 rpm

I would say they are ok, just make sure when you pull the cam and put the cam back in becareful not to nick or scar the bearings. lube up the cam as much as you can.

nice numbers. everything is looking good, i have the same tci flexplate and something i learned is to take off all the paint where its going to bolt up to anything and use loc tite. What kind of crank pulley is that?

Any ney updates?

That sucks Tony, Hopefully the new owner will take care of it like you did.

Did you ever get to spray it?

well not all of them are like that. last time at the track i hung out with about 5 or 6 L owners and they were all cool. I have ran across the ocassional idiot that ownes one but that comes with anything. I have ran across a few ss owners there were the same way. It also helps that if your running with them you need to out run them

I have used the recharge kits many times on my older trucks and cars. it works great as long as you dont over charge it. just shake up the can and turn it upside down and let it do its thing.

I would have put the car in the business name, if you dont already have something

Thats just down the road from me(kansas city area) and they were interviewing the owner on the radio and he said well since gas prices have gone crazy, there are more and more car jackings, robberies and people just stealing gas. So its either give some one the extra fuel or something to protect them. I think its a great idea. This past sunday during the day I had my F250 broken into and had about $1700 worth of stuff taken out of the console. I was talking to the cop and he said crime rate has gone crazy here lately. most of his calls deal with robberys or vandalism. He said they dont wright many speeding tickets any more cause they just dont have time.
