I always thought it was one guy drinking, one guy consulting, and one guy welding...

Welder is usually drinking too, so its two guys drinking, and one sober guy to drive the welder home.

The ARP 625 nuts & washers look identical, black oxide coated also. Only difference is that the regular ARP 2000 studs are black oxide & the ARP 625 studs look stainless.

You're right Scott, the stud in the middle at the very back of the head is the one that makes most of the contact with the rocker box, but we clearanced another 1/2 dozen or so that were close just to be safe.


The truck is still running fine. I still have my Edge J/A installed but it's set to zero now, Smarty on level 2 (60hp). The truck seems to pull more smoothly without the Edge.
I only have 1 part of the Arson kit installed but rail pressure is just fine with the new 50HP injector tips.
I can sure bury my pyro though & my stock clutch is hurting. That project will have to wait, likely until this fall.

which part of the arson kit do you have installed? the fca and cascade valve? or just the fca?

the 8-10 people watching are my neighbors wondering what the heck we are doing. Maybe one or two are trying to steal the beer out the garage. Brett (welder dude) doesn't complain too much, we just hand him another beer and everything is good again. A few of the passer by hotties that tend to come out when ever Tate shows up...

Sure beats working and hanging out in the hotel right now, it sure gets old in a hurry.

Since I had the fuel rail removed, which required the line between the CP3 & the rail to be removed, I installed the Arson high pressure fitting at that time.
This way that input line never has to be touched again.

I usually don't want to install too many upgrade parts at the same time since if something goes wrong you have too many variables to troubleshoot.

Does Goatbrain = Brad from Edmonton??

Touche sir touche.

I think we need one more person. A laborer of sorts. We have a financier, a consultant, and a welder. We just need that laborer to get the work done.


On an aside: When do you come home?

Sounds like I should be home sometime later this week, but then off to Forestburg around the 17th. Not much home time, but then again, I've had a considerable amount of it in the last 6 months.

Brett, I should be home by next friday. At least, you will have only one drunk to worry about, at least until the neighbors come over. We can actually might get some work done, well maybe....

Tate, this work thingy is so over rated.

By the way Daneilla, you can help me pick-up wrenchs at my garage anytime. I have beer. I might have to explain that one very carefully to my wifey. I was doing some tequilla taste testing tonight. wow, there is some good stuff out there.

If you only really knew what went on inside the garage. I think you would run far far away.
