    RPM High Flow Intake Bridge

    Ive wondered about that too from time to time when i get bored. It would take a lot of precision fab, and it would be tight but i think it could be pulled off. Only issue i see is tire clearance, you can modify the fender liner all you want but the tire is still there. Id look more closely but...

    Info: bent tie rods again

    I never broke or bent a tie rod on mine before sleeves and centerlink. Heck i broke a CV shaft before i hurt a tie rod. With my sleeves and centerlink my front end stays nice a straight. My turning radius seemed worse and the tires seem to be on ice skates with my centerlink. Mine is a Crank...

    2.5 turbo or keep the stocker

    x3 on a custom s400 airwerks. They are nice turbos (make sure you feed the oil off the side of the block). If you have unlimited funds heck build the motor up, add some Pro-flows, a Wicked Pump some big sticks and your custom charger. You can do a lot with a 2.5 turbo if everything is setup...

    NAPA vs. OEM

    we have our own sales rep who stops out once a week to show us his cool new tools. Anytime we need something we call him, he writes it down then calls us back ASAP with the price and details. He has two guys that also deliver parts right to the shop for him during regular hours. If its late...

    Im in the process of finally getting my box right now. I was going to get a 72" Snap on masters series 1023 is the number cant remember the letters in front of it. But then I talked to the Matco guy and now my sights are set on a 6 series 86" roll cab with stainless top. Expensive yes, but i...

    305.145 mph for the Mormon Missile!

    Halverson;) The original engine was an LLY built by Curtis. Im Sure this one is too. Volker is also the one behind the maze of wires for the standalone system IIRC. Two very smart Wisconsin boys working together makes one killer dmax streamliner.

    NAPA vs. OEM

    I almost always go with NAPA for two BIG reasons. 1. Its almost always cheaper 2. Its always sitting in my shop that night or early next morning, doesnt matter what day of the week it is. And I never leave the shop they bring it right too me. I could buy an $8 filter and theyll send it with...

    Cool video !

    Local farmer has one. Lots of fun to drive. Not so fun to tube behind. Up in the Dells they have 45 passenger Jet boats and just go out and mess around on the rive with them. Heres one of their signature moves. J6Ak0IYAa-Y

    S400 Bit the dust tonite

    Thanks brayden but ive got all winter. I think im just going to go ahead and build the motor especially if it did spin the bearing. Havent even looked yet. Plus the compressor wheel and housing is chewed up. Havent see the exhaust side yet. Tim at SJD is going to find out which injectors are...

    S400 Bit the dust tonite

    Ive only run it 3 times this year. Once just to see if I could do it then another time when i knew i could pull it off, and then on this track because its usually a great track for speed.

    S400 Bit the dust tonite

    Ya i forgot about the cam bearing issue. I might tap mine in over there like ATS does.

    S400 Bit the dust tonite

    Twin CP3s, S472 and my tuning on a stock motor?? Never gonna happen. I swore i wouldnt put them on till the motor was built. Heck i bent the rods with just the turbo. Its a single stocker with a modded FPR and rear cover

    S400 Bit the dust tonite

    Ive only heard ATS claim that. One company isnt going to convince me. Turbos dont need a garden hose of oil.

    S400 Bit the dust tonite

    This may have something to do with it. Im not sure when i lost oil pressure but never got the warning till after the turbo went. If i lost oil pressure before it went then that is the culprit. Im pulling things apart and putting it all back together slowly the way i want it put back...

    S400 Bit the dust tonite

    S472 1.00 A/R I have an air shutoff to prevent runaways. Everybody said you dont need it blah blah but this is the reason i have it. The oil comes off the stock location. The blue smoke at the end wasnt normal So it must have been leaking some oil in there somehow but idk how it wouldve...

    Favorite boots

    I only wear redwings but being on a shop floor all day is different that being a paramedic. I wouldnt want to run in my boots. They are lightweight, tightfitting, slip resistant supposedly and shock resistant. Very nice boots. Red Wings are top notch,
