    Duramax 3rd gen camaro

    Sounds cool. :thumb: Why would you use an allison? 4l80e is considerable lighter than the Allison and in a light car it shouldn't have any issue holding the power. Space wise, the Allison is going to swallow up a mile of trans tunnel in a car too. Edit: Treed by SmokeShow!

    Do You Smoke?

    I'm not sure how this got turned into a government/EPA conversation. My point was about public perception. I think we can all agree videos like these aren't helping that perception of diesel pickups in anyway? The degree of hurt may be up for debate though. To lightly touch on your...

    S4t turbo

    Is that the standard answer for an II product? :roflmao: If I remember right, it's an 87mm inducer. Nick is right, you can probably easily find a turbo sized similar or the same turbo somewhere else for less. You just won't get the fancy Big Bro name and flashy marketing. (Which may or may...

    Do You Smoke?

    You're smarter than this right? Looking at this video from a non-diesel owners standpoint and you're instantly thinking diesel owners are assholes. Staged or not, the point is made all the same.

    Do You Smoke?

    :mad: That shit is so weak. Not sure how smoking out a good looking girl walking down the road, while you and your friends give each other handers is funny.

    Turbo Sock Pics and Info

    Hopefully they're doing what you expected them to Brian. If I had to guess with all the blankets the reflective wrap on the lines aren't needed that badly anymore? :D

    Duramax Street Rod

    Not the best truck but the best looking cab I could find. I'm a big fan of the split front window. :) Thanks Tom. :rofl: Wondered who was going to comment on the lumber. Gotta mock up with something. :D Especially on this baby budget. I'm honestly not sure what year it is, I've never...

    Duramax Street Rod

    Figured I'd give you guys a quick peek at the project I've got going. Stock Duramax, parallel twins, 4l80, Jones quick change rearend, 4-link front and rear. Still mocking up, waiting on front wheels and coilovers to build a chassis then it should really get moving. Shooting for >2500lbs with...

    caltracs

    I was thinking about the rounds you two have went while I was posting it. I don't have time to look but I do remember something being posted to the effect of you only being on the forums to talk smack. Not for any real tech. :D

    caltracs

    Not necessarily right on either accounts. This is the best information I've seen posted on Caltrac setup. Post #11 specifically, but some good info through out the thread. Hope this helps. http://www.competitiondiesel.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113114&highlight=caltracs

    Question: Thinking of building my own up pipes

    You can't build them without bellows or some way for them to expand/contract without cracking or shearing the bolts. No point trying to reinvent the wheel. I think it's cool if you have the ability to build them but do yourself a favor and learn from what already works. Bellows are by far the...

    Info: Lowered Dmax's......PIC's ONLY!

    Thanks for the info. Skinny pedal self control isn't my strong suit. Gonna have to wait until I have time to build some traction bars.

    Info: Lowered Dmax's......PIC's ONLY!

    Are you running caltracs to stop spring wrap without the extra leafs? I've been debating pulling a couple out but don't want to have bad spring wrap without caltracs.
