The things people spray in there... That's like that video of the guy on the dyno with his buddy spraying NOS into the exposed intake. Grantit NOS wouldn't be anywhere near as harmful as an actual liquid but even so.

Looks like to me a cheap imitation of a boost cooler or meth injection. Who knows why. I've heard of people using the washer res for that use. If it's not I have no clue. Jethrro

If it's propane, nothing can beat my old dyno setup.

The way that the 5 gallon propane bottle was, like, duct taped onto my grill... With a flowmeter... And a teflon tube wedged into my air filter...

Oh yeah, THAT was redneck.

Thats the kind of bombs you're supposed to keep to yourself
Did you actually drive around with a propane bottle duct taped to your grill?

I looked in your gallery for a possible pic of the ghetto rigging and,......... how did that moose get up there?

According to the report in the Fairbanks News-Miner, the prevailing theory is that the moose came across the sagging and swaying wires and, in a testosterone-filled moment, decided to challenge the power line to a fight.

The moose was alive when it was lowered to the ground, but was later killed when officials from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game decided against tranquilizing it to remove the wires. They reasoned that the already-stressed animal would die and the meat would not be salvageable if drugs were utilized.


As for the propane system, I have picture someplace of it, but I've never uploaded them. I didn't drive the truck anywhere except on the dyno, but I was tempted to run it down the street to see how much 5 liters per minute of propane woud help power-wise...

That is control-freak game wardens to a tee.

If that dude could hang suspended in wires for who knows how long, the stress of getting rescued shouldn't bother him.
