    Question: Trent's turbo setup (and turbo's in general)

    This. It's almost impossible to have a productive conversation online about primaries/secondaries. It all gets lost in translation. Primary is the big turbo in a twin set or the small turbos in a triple set.

    can you crack facebook passwords

    What if the friend is the one she's going to see? No one can be trusted. Follow her. Everywhere. You'll either catch her cheating or find out so much stuff about her you don't like that you'll end it. Good luck! :D

    13:1 Compression?

    It's low on lubricity. It would be hell on common rail pumps and injectors.

    air/water intercooler.

    I agree. I doubt the advantages of an air/water at low speeds is worth it to build/design the whole setup. Just because Ford did a factory water/air doesn't mean Chevy and Dodge will follow suit. I also think Ford probably did a separate air/water setup for reasons other than intake charge...

    air/water intercooler.

    From what I've seen, factory air/air intercoolers do a pretty good job. I think you'd be hard pressed to get intake charge temps anything higher than 40+ degrees above ambient, measuring post intercooler. Less with an aftermarket intercooler. Personally I would only go to an air/water if...

    Ford vs GM Head to Head Frame Strength Test

    Cool video. Makes me laugh to read the comments for/against. Funny how hard people blindly campaign for a certain brand.

    Stock manifold blankets

    Somehow I expected this. :rofl: I'm waiting on material that should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. When it shows I'll give you a shout and get some made up.

    Stock manifold blankets

    I have the only set of stock manifold blankets on my truck at the moment. To be honest, I haven't been selling them because I didn't notice any real measurable changes after I installed them. While I did already have a full blanket kit (turbo, up-pipes, and wrapped downpipe) I hoped that I...

    4x4 Drag Crash?

    I read that thread Pat. I'm not sure why Steve has a dog in the land speed fight. He may be a parts supplier/tuner of a few vehicles running out there but he isn't suiting up so it shouldn't matter to him. He also seems to have it out for your airdam, I doubt he would feel the same if you...

    De-Lip or not?

    Intake doesn't really have anything to do with the running parallels IMO. It doesn't know how many chargers are feeding it. More than likely just do a Y pipe to join the two pipes before the engine. I've got some ideas for the intake that won't be stock but not cost an arm and a leg. I...

    De-Lip or not?

    You're also assuming I'm not flipping the factory manifolds forward and running short connector pipes to the turbos. While some of the big builds may need a header type manifold and they look awesome, I just don't see a need for them for what I'm doing. Other than the wow factor, which for the...

    De-Lip or not?

    I realize that, but running a single turbo on a V8 in an open engine bay doesn't look right IMO. You can always gate the chargers to keep the power down. There are also quite a few cheap turbo options that make a parallel setup really inexpensive. Especially if I'm not trying to make big big...

    De-Lip or not?

    For the record, I don't plan on de-lipping anymore than necessary. I'm not cutting to lower compression. The build will never make tons of boost or really have big chargers either. Just a reasonable small pair or parallel twins to get the job done. Injectors will likely be sent to...
