johnkoestler Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Ok, so winter just hit Minnesota hard. I'm heading back to my house and coming down a snowy hill and some guy from the left who has a yield sign blows right through it. While he tries to avoid me, by speeding up, he just spins. Piece of s**t old red rusty s10 and I broadside him. Next thing I know I'm in someones yard, my airbags went off and I just hop out of the truck just a yelling at this guy. Called 911, first time I ever swore at an officer, called them, they gave this guy a ticket and said it was completely this guys fault so, I take the truck to my buddy's auto body shop. I plan on getting a 442 style fiberglass hood, switching to E-fans, chrome out the front, and get bigger injectors. Is there anything else I should try to do while its in the body shop? Any suggestions would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05blackss86 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 unless your just talking about the grille....dont "chrome out the front". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnkoestler Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Well I totally want the Keystone 442 style hood, and agree that maybe I should save the money on the grill inserts and put that towards some more performance, maybe Nitrous? Already sent my PCM back to GoWheatly for another tune, for my GM Hot Cam and 1.8 Roller Rockers, and hooking up the ram air tube on the Volant CAI. But I do need 44lb injectors because my Injector Duty Cycle goes to 100% @ 4600rpm, that should never happen. And I'll plan on switching to E-fans. The fiberglass hood is on sale at Stylin Concepts for about the same price as a GM hood. So any other Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAKSSS Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 That sucks! I hate it when people pull out in front of you on slippery roads and then can't get traction I've had some close calls like that...Good luck getting it fixed/upgraded!
