BumpinSS

That is one sharp lookin box.

Damn things shoulda come with a 140 or 160 mph speedo stock, top end is where these motors shine. Looks like I'm gonna have to keep reading speed with a GPS until someone makes one.

No doubt, I remember the first drive...I was not expecting a truck to move like that.

If you get a hood that needs hood pins, Top Secrets locking pins are great. expensive ($182 for 2) but made really well and look good. alot better than just the pin and ring sticking out. http://www.topsecretjpn.com/ac.shtml

ok, here's a quote from bobistheoilguy.com and it has been said across the GTO forums, vette forums, and 350Z forums. RP's addatives seem to have changed recently when they started lowering the price and selling it at Wal-marts. Here are some Oil Analysis charts done with the different oils on the market with a VQ motor. (350Z) Silicon (Si) and Aluminum (Al) 10 to 30 ppm Dirt ingestion Air intake system, oil filter plugging, oil filler cap and breather, valve covers, oil supply Iron (Fe) 100 to 200 ppm Wear of cylinder liner, valve and gear train, oil pump, rust in system Excessive oil consumption, abnormal engine noise,performance problems, oil pressure, abnormal operating temperatures, stuck/broken piston rings Chromium (CR) 10 to 30 ppm Piston ring wear Excessive oil blow-by and oil consumption, oil degradation Copper (CU) 10 to 50 ppm Bearings and bushings wear, oil cooler passivating,radiator corrosion Coolant in engine oil, abnormal noise when operating at near stall speed Lead (Pb)* 40 to 100 ppm Bearing corrosion Extended oil change intervals Copper (CU) and Lead (Pb)* 10 to 50 ppm Bearing lining wear Oil pressure, abnormal engine noise, dirt being ingested in air intake, fuel dilution, extended oil drain intervals Aluminum (Al) 10 to 30 ppm Piston and piston thrust bearing wear Blow-by gases, oil consumption, power loss, abnormal engine noise Silver and Tin 2 to 5 ppm 10 to 30 ppm Wear of bearings Excessive oil consumption, abnormal engine noise, loss in oil pressure Viscosity Change Lack of lubrication Fuel dilution, blow-by gases, oil oxidation, carburetor choke, ignition timing, injectors, injector pump, oil pressure Water/Anti-freeze Coolant leak or condensation Coolant supply, gasket sealed, hose connection, oil filler cap and breather bobistheoilguy.com is a great site everyone should check out. Great info on oils there along with test results.

Ignore my post...I can't find the link to back it up, looks like it got deleted on the other site.

Damn that looks good. I like those wheels too.

I fell asleep after I posted it. going to look now, I know the site I saw it, just can't find the actual post it was in.

Very nice. Glad you posted a pic from the front...lol I'v been so busy with therapy and dealing with my lawsuit from my accident I totally forgot to get my new 'SS' ordered for my windshield..heh. They are still upside down.

Carbon fiber bed would be nice, lol. There is a local guy with a build 383 in his S10 and he has a custom bed built out of a rubberoid with fenderwells wide enough for him to run 18inch wide wheels. Looking at his truck you cant even tell, the outside it painted and the bed itself just looks like a bedliner with NOS bottles bolted down.

Damn she'll get up'n go. Bout time we get some competition, embarassing hemi's is getting old.

Thanks, I'll look into those. Looks really good like that.

Edmon is a great town, My sister and 3 nieces live there and she hasn't ever had any problems around there. I go there every couple of months to see her and my other sisters grave there.

All of my mothers family lives in Oklahoma. If you move there just stay far far away from the lil town of Cement, Oklahoma...I went there for a funeral 3 months ago and i shit you not the roads are so bad there that when we hit a bump down town on the way to the funeral home driving 3 mile per hour it made my tanau lift up. atleast that put a smile on my moms face. Some good driving roads other than that though, lots of lil lakes and twisties...There is a section of road that my moms uncle took me out to that is outside Tulsa that is a 9 mile straight away with no side roads and no place for cops to set on the side of the road. Best place to open her up.

Carefull with the Royal Purple, It was tested by Blackstone labs and said to be the worst performing oil to date, with high wear numbers and high shear. (trying to find where I read it so I can post the link)

boo, I miss wakeboarding. Nice boat.

That looks good Kaotik. What are you dropped with? much better than stock

lol...must be an RSX owner.

I'd gladly bag it, but I have read that I can't slam it without sacrificing my AWD...which I cannot justify. There is nothing more fun than abusing the AWD in the rain and snow.

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the right forum section to ask this, but I'v been looking and can't find a product or answer to this. Is it possible to get a Speedo...from say and old Corvette and get it calibrated...or does anyone make a speedo for silverado's that reads over 120? When my build is complete I know the truck is gonna do well over 120mph and I wanna know how fast she'll run.

I was wondering...who has the lowest AWD and what you have done. I'v seen some good drops on the AWD SS's but I don't think I'v seen anyone dropped enough to tuck their wheels like I'm wanting to to. I hate my wheel gap and not sure what way to go is the reason I'm still on stock suspension.

Thanks, it was hard to let go...even harder seeing it in he garage and not being able to ride it...heh. This is the bike I really miss: 2001 Screamin Eagle Dyna Wide Glide II, was my first built vehicle and what got me started in drag racing. Once I got good riding my father and uncle built the motor for me. I sold it to one of my fathers employee's in 04 before I bought the herritage and found out 2 months ago that he never made 1 payment to the bank on the bike and got it repo'd. I searched Ebay for it for a while but never saw it..and in all honesty with the way I heard it was treated I dont think I wanna see it.

Thanks!

$900 for CF hood...thats not too shabby.

I have shops near me that can build good motors, but nobody experienced in building trannies. Can anyone recommend a shop that can build me a tranny capable of holding 800-1000hp for my AWD near Missouri? I was also wondering if I can run a TH400 in the silverado? (I don't know alot about transmissions) With my upcoming project I need a stout tranny and I don't wanna lose my AWD.
