    LB7: SoCal Diesel Street Rods

    Nice. I’m just glad they have their own rod and we have more options. The products they make are top shelf in my book.

    Yep, they’re official. Do they look any different then the proto’s??

    LB7: SoCal Diesel Street Rods

    That’s what they’ve told me so far, 800-1000hp and pricing similar to the Wagler street rod. Pretty sure they come in at 1780$ plus shipping.

    Midwest Drags

    Well the event went great. There were about 100 cars entered in the show. Only 3 diesels, but for its inaugural event the 100 is promising. The low diesel count was not promising. I hope they keep the classes for next year. Would be good if more diesels participate in the event. There was a...

    LB7: lb7 heads

    Ca heads actually have different size intake ports, there are larger ones and smaller ones next to each other. Fed heads have all the same size intake ports. If you have both styles and lay them next to each other you’ll see the difference. Technically since the ca head does have some intake...

    Chevelle upgrades.

    Lmao, they really butchered it bad. FLETES, it’s definitely an L not an i. If you pronounce all the ‘e’s exactly the same you’ll get it right.

    Sportsman drag racing podcast, not sure if any of you have heard this yet. Came out earlier this week, pretty neat what they have to say about the Chevelle. Fast forward to 37:30 to hear it. https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/9806009/tdest_id/737182

    Midwest Drags

    Well the countdown continues, we're 3 weeks away from this event. I hope there is a big turn out in the diesel classes. We've been beating on the Chevelle all year in preparation for this race. Hoping on doing well and hoping for some good competition.

First one ever and had a great time making it happen. Also picked up a new pb (during testing) AND went back in the 9’s with the current...

    Recommendations on place to send ecm for reflash?

    Thx. I deal with smog issues on a daily basis at my shop. With the right tools and info we can get pretty much any duramax to pass smog. If you’re still looking for help give me a call tomorrow morning and I’ll see what I can do to get your squared away. Rick 2099869706

    Chevelle upgrades.

    Latest an greatest. Ran into a couple trans issues after Irwindale in feb. addressed them with a new case and some hard parts. Also made a good change in the converter. We’ve reduced slip from 13% down to 4%, and it’s still a traditional 400 non-lu. Picked up 3mph and some et. Towed my trailer...
