    Roll bar time

    I'd be interested in seeing the truck that had everything stripped to the point that you need to remove door bars to remove weight.:rofl:

    Question: DEF spilled on fender, permanent damage ?

    I don't know why, but for some reason that made me think of the zoolander gasoline fight.

    Question: DEF spilled on fender, permanent damage ?

    I think you'll be fine. A quick search tells you what's in DEF. It's almost 70% deionized water and the other 30ish% is Urea which is highly water soluble and nearly non-toxic. I would just make sure they logged the incident to cover you in case you have a future issue.

    Finally starting....

    The engine build would be my guess....(I'm sure it was slightly sarcastic.) :thumb: Did you get the cup off the injector? Probably would have helped to turn it the opposite way of the injector tip hold down threads. :D

    twin turbo build question

    Keep the turbo mounted in there but if it were me I would remove the new cold pipe and put your intake back on if you drive it. I don't see it causing any major issues the way you described it beyond it might raise hell with your maf sensor readings. You might also get some oil seepage past...

    2.5 class allow aftermarket headers??

    The general regulations cover the car's safety specifications front to back. 46 pages isn't exactly monstrous when you consider how long nhra has been around and been having to amend rules to fill in the gaps. I agree with PACougar, if an organization doesn't want something to be allowed they...

    2.5 class allow aftermarket headers??

    Sorry but I don't agree at all. Rulebooks are just that, rules against what you can't do. If it's not listed and doesn't directly violate the written rules, it's legal until the rules are changed the following season or whenever was agreed upon when they were written. Ever look at an NHRA...

    Duramax Street Rod

    Well I never got around to putting the first startup video on my laptop. Been busy putting in the trans, brakes, driveline and drive flanges in. Fixed a few small leaks and took it out for the first drive last night with no hood or grille. It drives, rides, stops about as good as I could have...

    2.5 class allow aftermarket headers??

    This. If they don't specifically say it's not allowed in the rules, do it.

    Sold the Lincoln, Now it's an IH Metro Project

    :( Not really. Beyond cleaning it up and putting it under a cover in my shop. My truck build took longer than I wanted, that coupled with a setback from a hand injury has this sitting for now. Truck is wrapping up though so hopefully soon....

    All the hard work...

    Congrats, got any recent vids of the truck? Don't think I've ever seen it run.

    LBZ 73 Nova

    So cool when turbos are sticking half out of hoods. I see the center turbo is a 6 blade wheel. Are all three turbos 6 blade compressors? Those things flat wail.

    It's the small things...

    1/2" but will compress to 1/8"-3/16. I can always leave the insulation layer out where the down pipe passes over the top of the up pipe if that's what you need.

    Anything in particular you're wondering about? You can put your hand on the blankets after running the truck about as hard as you want. Fixed geometry turbo's usually see a small boost increase at WOT. Underhood and Intake temp drops of 20+ degrees. Cruise EGT's tend to run slightly warmer...

    Thanks everyone for the compliments and kind words. You guys definitely know how to make me feel like I'm doing it right. If you ever try to contact me and don't get a response that day or the morning after. Don't be scared to PM or start a thread in here. I'm not perfect, it's probable...

    ??? Sorry...This is the first I've heard of this. I reply to every email I see. It's possible it went to spam or you have the wrong email address. Call me and I'll get you all set up. :thumb:

    Duramax Street Rod

    Cloud 9 Well after 3 years, it runs. I honestly can't believe it. I ended up building my own harness from the ecm to bale connectors. Something that seemed impossible to someone who hates wiring as badly as I do. Cranked it today with a manual oil pressure gauge. No pressure. Sweet...

    PCM Not Detected...Status Unknown

    Got it figured out. Blew a fuse somehow.

    Thank you!

    Just wanted to give a public thanks to Rob and Nate from ATP. I was in a pinch and needed a stock file to finally start the engine in my 3 year build and they didn't hesitate to send me over what I needed. Just stand up guys in all my experiences. Thanks again.
