Ha ha...the guy at the Kwik Car shop quoted $160 to put two accessory belts on the g/f's car. I'm hoping that was your installed price Charlie.

Geno's has them for $26.95 but you probably don't want to wait that long for it. Dayco brand.

FINALLY got all the sh..shtuff out of my Cheby so I can run it in Ardmore. Still need to put the new trans lines on it and put the old steering column back in and bolt the front bumper on.
Thinking about taking it to Redline for a shake down before Ardmore. I would never hear the end of it from you guys if I broke on the first run
Do we know yet who is planning on running their CTD that Friday?

Will do. I'm hoping to get my part for my 2-low conversion in next week. Should be able to get the stuff done on my Cheby this weekend. Noticed last night when I pulled it back in the garage that the thermostat housing is leaking. I'll pick up a new housing afterwork today with a place to mount the temp sender.

Well for fun with admore looming I figured I play with a couple launches.... Started a 2wheel drive about 2k RPM, not a complete dump, but a quick release... Was pretty dang quick and painless, traction definitely an issue...

Tried about the same except 4x4... WONT be doing that again!! Truck was trying to rip itself apart!! tires chirpin, truck buckin, etc... Clutch no likey way way too grabby!!!

So Admore will be a 4x2 run... I'm fine with that, Not like I'm even close to being in the running for quickest truck in our group anyways!!

I actually got my first real experience with Twins the other day when we got Brads done in his '06 dually......PS62/K31. Very nice set and both turbos WG'ed! Thought that was cool....

THey lit slower than my 35 (Duah) BUT ROCKETED up to 50 PSI like nothing! I had to keep my foot out of it, but the tight trans/converter made that very fun......its start to rocket up and it shift into 2nd and then take off even faster! haha......overall....i liked em......would like to get some more drive time behind the wheel.......

I talked to my friend to make sure it was getting out... Coming into town to mail it off today. I'm meeting Charlie at the ranch tomorrow if you would like, you could pick it up from me there... Let me know think he is getting ready to sent it off
