well that was a bust, no one showed up, o well. I hope the next item shows up intact and isn't too hard to install, heck a few bolts and two boost clamps can't be that hard. I also really hope to see reduced spoolup, and decreased egt's...... possibly a decrease in max boost, more volume, better flowing........

sweet deal, spotted fuel tody on Bloomfield ave in montclair Delta, 2.37 a gallon....... aside from that I been busy, sold and shipped out today was my factory intercooler, received and installed HTT unit yesterday. I did not do to well on the sale but hey, its outa the garage and helped out a guy who needed one for repairs on his truck. As for the HTT I like it, so far on a wot romp on rt 21 I hit about 1225 where I am sure I wuld have been way warmer than that with my old stocker. still on sw 3 only, but sw7 days are just a bit ahead, just gotta make another trek to NY state and back then its time to get ready for the 29th. Also installed today were balancing beads, no more lead weights to fall off ever, no more ugly wieights hangin on my rim. no more worries due to big clods of mud on the rim, or stones in the treads. No high speed runs with them yet but from the reviews and talks to others with them I am set. what else is everybody up to ? sure been quiet in here lately.

HAHA Good bump Mike. That is a sweet machine, and that thing looks crazy coming at you loaded like that. Quite a creative setup to say the least. All you gotta do IMO is get some heavier planking for under the beast and try to control the side to side movement a little.

gotta do the research on pipes, programmers first, I hear they don't like pipes without a programmer/ optimizer to keep them from runnin lean on the free flow pipe........ lift ? maybe sneak a 2 inch under there, but nothing to make it so I need gorrilla axles.
