    Pittsburgh Diesel Race May 3rd.

    I'm trying to fit it into my schedule. Should be a nice time. It would be nice to talk to a few of the guys here in person.

    Everyone get the email about the new server

    I got mine, but my anti-spyware software moved it to the junk e-mail folder.

    Left Hand Alli Filler tubes

    Do you have a picture of one mounted on a trans. I have a rt side clearance issue & depending on how it is routed, I may be interested in a left side tube.

    new guy with an awd ss having traction issues

    Chase, Nice truck..... I never got to see any pictures of it, but remember the phone conversations about the fuel system. Glad you got everything together. Looks good.

    Lift pump?

    What is the typical fuel pump flow requirement in gallons per hour for a given HP rating?

    Small fuel tank?

    I like the amber & red flavors better....... The first time I saw ULSD, I thought it was antifreeze.

    Too damn old for a Dirt Bike!

    I have the same problem after a day of riding my quad. My street bike even makes by neck hurt when I start riding for the season. Old age is hell...

    Drag Radials

    I think you guys missed my point, I'm not suggesting smaller (as in less braking power), but smaller diameter. This will allow 15" wheels & an almost unlimited tire selection. Drag race style brakes will not be an option unless you can remove a few thousand pounds of weight first. The...

    Mike L. Ever heard of...

    The Neal Chance converters have a pretty good following, but now many converter manufacturers are offering a free stall change with purchase... so the modular converter design may not be the best option for the average person. If you plan trackside swaps, considering the cost, & time...

    Drag Radials

    True, there are not a lot of 16" drag tire choices out there & then they typically only go up to 28" tall. Have you considered adapting a smaller brake that will fit 15" wheels? Smaller brakes will also reduce rotating mass & make your truck faster.

    Drag Radials

    Has anyone tried the Mickey Thompson ET Street radials? These seem to be the stickiest street radial tires I've found for use on cars. They aren't much for tread so rain is scary, but they do hook & handle very well.

    Filters and Filter Minders

    Actually, I do realize this new thread is a good topic for a separate discussion & will probably be seen more since being separated from the old thread... I would just recommend looking into the "Green Filters" (or posting the recommendation) anywhere you see a K&N recommendation, unless you...

    Filters and Filter Minders

    Larry, I did not consider my post off topic, as it directly related to the K&N link Pat posted in the original topic. I hate to see people buy a $60 filter that will not support the required power level. Unfortunately K&N does not have a good published listing of air flow ratings for their...

    Mine had 10 miles on it.

    Filters and Filter Minders

    FYI, I have had some problems with very high flow engines collapsing K&N filters. Not sure if anyone has had an unexpected surge, where the engine goes flat & boost falls off, but My Camaro was also doing this exact thing. The filter was the largest conical 4" inlet filter they made. It was...

    Tire size effect on 1/4mi. times

    Thanks for the info. The truck is my '82 conversion, probably 5800lb max. McRat LLY 500RWHP tune. I was curious based on my experience with my other truck (gas engine). Went from 32's to 35's & it felt like it lost 100hp. Even after changing gears to get the equivalent ratio back, it...

    700r4 vs 4l80e

    I was OK with the 700r4 until the 6000lb trailer comment. These transmissions are not designed for heavy towing in OD. A 200hp 350 will be fine with a 700r4, the 35" tires adds a little stress, but in good condition with a shift kit, you would probably be fine. I ran a built 700r4 in my...

    Tire size effect on 1/4mi. times

    Does anyone have a comparison of different size tires & their effects on 1/4 mile ET's? I'm wrestling with a tire decision for my truck & wondered if anyone had proof of how much a larger tire slowed your truck down. I will probably go with 33" tires, but going fast is still important. Just...

    '82 Duramax Swap Pictures

    Thanks, I really appreciate that. I would like to get some magazine coverage after all this work. It's not like someone builds one of these everyday so it should be unique enough to hopefully get some interest. Lonnie
