Mcole, how is the converter doin? Thats doin pretty good in the 1/8 too, now all you need is injectors

What brand of dyno is in burleson?
The tc is doin good. I'm likin it more and more. It pulls a lot better than my stock one, and once you get it movin it flys. I just need to get some more low end power and that lift pump on for the fuel and I'll be good to go

I'd like to make it to this meeting, but I can't make it on the 16th. Later in the month would be my vote, but whatever works best for everyone is fine by me.

Nah Im gonna go with MP-8 I believe...EFI live is pretty intense, not to mention the price tag of $700.

I dont want to tempt fate with the auto or anything, cause even though its an Allie, its still not bulletproof. And its staying quiet. The dodge however now.....Im thinking homemade 6" stacks.....Muahahahaha

Thats a big no no. THeres nothing worse in the world than the sound of a straight piped v8 diesel...might as well straight pipe my moms impala and drive it around .

UBR stacks....I like the sound of that. Weve got some heavy 6" ID pipe left over from the pipeline on our place. Not too heavy though, so along with the 6" square tubing I got for free....some 4" flex and an elbow is all I have to buy. I probably should start saving money for college, cause all this attention to trucks is gonna drop my grades and kill my scholarships.

Well I'm back on and in the loop!!!! Anyway, I was gonna try to take my truck to the dyno then also. I might just go watch lol. I hauled a load of about 29k the other day and I kinda tor up my trany again lol, it's under waranty still. It's going in the shop tomorrow. I need to figure out what I can do to pull those big loads???!!! Maybe get a used mini semi just for hauling stuff sell this one and downsize a bit...still diesel but not 1 ton or 4wd. I'm not sure what to do, or keep this one and just use it to haul stuff put the money into it now and then to get new guts in the trany and get another one for everyday driving??? Mine might be up for sale in a few months, if anyone wants it!!! lol lol. I'll trade ya Randy! I'd still need to get a hauler though.

What do ya'll think!???? I need some help lol..
