    Alright what did I screw up twin turbos

    Double check maf idle readings and make sure you don't have any leaks. A squirt bottle with soapy water might help you find some of your low end power leaking out of a pipe connection.

    LB7: Rod Upgrade Cost

    I thought of you as I was typing it. Figured you had either done it or helped someone do it. You've been faster for cheaper with a Dmax than anyone I can think of. I appreciate the grassroots approach. Pretty much. It's just so easy to get consumed with the "might as wells" until you arrive...

    LB7: Rod Upgrade Cost

    Serious question, why not just stab a set of rods in a good low-ish mileage engine? 10k is nuts if you're just a dude that wants to put the squeeze on a engine a little harder than stock rods would be happy with. Pull the engine down, insert rods, go have fun. I've actually always been a little...

    Diesel runaway carnage

    Depends. I've had several engines apart that were fine but had valve "witness marks" in the carbon on top of the pistons. If it didn't take a beating, I'd say there's still a chance they aren't toast.

    Turbo oil supply relocation

    I welded up the factory banjo bolt and threaded it back into the factory feed. Lol.

    You're right, I read it wrong.

    Ultimate Callout Challenge watch

    The overall standings I saw on CompD had Lavon 180 points ahead over the #2 spot. So he's going to have to lose the sled pull by 180+ to get dethroned? IF it's 1 point per foot. That's gonna be tough.

    Ultimate Callout Challenge watch

    I hope the track crew is on their A game today. With the amount of fluid laid down on the dyno yesterday, they might have their work cut out for them today. Just hope no one lets their ego get the best of them or it's going to get ugly fast.

    Lincoln mig welders

    You can buy direct from Everlastgenerators.com I bought mine from Ebay. Seem to be able to get a better deal on there from time to time.

    Lincoln mig welders

    I thought you were talking about the Everlast. Had to go look to realize it was the Lincoln. Ebay has them listed. I've bought both my Everlast tig/stick and mig on there. Both landed in less than a week and they go on sale from time to time to get a better price than the Everlast website.

    Lincoln mig welders

    Check out Everlast welders. Despite the red and blue faithful saying otherwise, they've been awesome so far for moderate use in my shop. I've gone to their welders for both mig and tig and been really happy considering I couldn't touch a Miller/Lincoln for the price. Warranty is good at 5 years...

    LB7: Traction

    Does that even work for the silly amount of power you're making these days? I feel like you'd just go through twice the tires. :rofl:

    Know how to build a wiring harness?

    Price didn't hit me that hard as there is a solid amount of time involved. I probably would have had him build me one if he wasn't so hard to track down. Nothing against Ben as I've heard he's the man when it comes to this type thing but it's rare for me to want to chase someone around begging...

    Danville built motor

    That's seriously your response after Mark explained how he thinks it can be reliable? It would be nice if you actually backed up what you're trying to say with some experience, a well thought out opinion or response instead of a one word reply that implies you know something the rest of us don't.

    LBZ: 1200* steady flat ground towing

    1200* isn't dangerous high but it does seem on the high side for what you're towing. Boost seems in the range I might expect so I'm not sure you have a boost leak but it definitely won't hurt to double check and cross it off the list. EGT's might just be higher from the low-ish RPM from the tow...

    Know how to build a wiring harness?

    Let me preface this by saying I truly hate wiring. I did however manage to build a stand alone harness for my street rod after not getting a response from companies that sell stand alone harnesses, or them wanting much more than my budget would allow. With that being said, I paid for a year of...

    Lb7 core motor questions

    Rods are paper weights. Might be able to get $200ish for LB7 pistons in good shape. Core out the heads, cp3, turbo. Not 100% up to date on core pricing but I was getting $350/pr for heads, $250 for cp3, not sure on turbo. Someone might buy it as a replacement for $200-$300 depending on...
