Fack what am I saying..... Lb7s rock!!
LOL its pretty obvious LLY's are the strongest runners... :hug: Just look at me I can swap turbos and run the same exact numbers :rofl: i'd say my truck is a bracket racer... doesn't matter the weight, turbo setup, torque converter, tune, or hell even driver it just wants to run 12.1's from 113-116mph HA
As you gain more horse those tire will suck! You might want to look at something taller

Let's clear up a few facts that YOU seem to confuse yourself with. First one being that you have no idea of how Ken's truck progressed so don't get on here spewing comments like you know that you did. Second, the converter was chosen based on the set up that was going in the truck and that was a set of stock twins. Third, the truck 60ft just as good after going to the set up he has on there now, just that the trans had other issues and they decided to swap. Fourth, stop refering to others trucks that you have no credible info on....if I were to do that about you and your truck, I can comment on almost every person in here who has supported you and reiterate a comment that would be totally opposite of all the good info you seem to think you are getting. Call Ken and talk to him about the converter and then call Rob if you want the real results. The setup on his truck is a far cry from being as laggy as a 475 and will spool with a stock IHI with the proper tuning.
It also seems kind of funy how you always seem to think you know so much about me or things I am affiliated with. I know you get your info from Mike and that is fine on most points. I learned years ago that running your mouth doesn't pay, you just haven't yet. On the other side of things, you have a lot of negative comments to make about people who are affiliated with this board, but you don't do that publically. Now here you are making comments toward Russ.....wonder what brought about that? The comment Mike made towards Russ was more about a personal problem they had, it doesn't have anything to do with you or either one of their worth ethics, so it doesn't need to be here either. If that was about a trans problem he had or something to do with the motor, it would have never been mentioned. Most people are here to help or get help and then there are some that you can't help....what exactly is your purpose?
If you have something you want to know, my number is posted all over the place. I'm not going to try to compete at your level and make silly comments on a forum.....
Nick, I'm using a 1054...
With a 472...........
And pulls better 60ft with street tires than most with drag radials.

Simon that was on rough tuning from a member that doesnt come around here much anymore. And we never got around to playing around with it anymore and I never got around to getting a tune built buy Rob or anyone else for it and have not really ran the truck hard since George installed the twins been using it as a DD for the great 20mpg avg drive from Kansas to Maryland.
What in the hell are you talking about? I have talked to you one time on the phone about the WD CP3... and a few corresponding I'M's confirming what I was told that there is nothing mechanically limiting lookup in my truck. Russ told me the converter I wanted to rum was garbage hence the "throw that converter away" comment. Why do you think everything is directed at you?
Lets clear this up as this is definitely NOT the case - I continued to find evidence of your HORRIBLE work such as a negative battery cable completely severed and in a wire loom under the engine. I couldnt take it anymore and its sat. The truck will not start and that is 100% due to your shoddy work. You welded up pipes and did a good job. You made a set of twins that may or may not work, you are in no way shape or form a truck builder who should have been trusted with my $100k truck and have free reign while not communicating or doing what was agreed upon.
You should not be in business - customer beware.
Let's see who comes to Russ's recue this time. I would imagine the phone call has been made.
That was not to stir up shit, I just recently came back on this board and searched my name and found this - had to set the record straight.
I've been in communication with PPE and either I'll get it fixed up here this week or it will be taken to PPE for them to button up. It's time for my truck to be running and move on with my life.

Nice try!!! you know just as much as I do, that the truck would not run when it got here. The cable UNDER the motor that i never moved, was more then likely your doing when you installed it, and could not get it together on your own. Your a spoiled brat, and it was all good to have extra time when you could not get funds together, but as soon as you did 4mos later, you wanted it done right then... Unfortunatly I was going through a divorce and offered you to pick up your truck (free/no charge) then. You said no and to take my time, wich I did. It's all good, like you said life goes on... Have fun writing checks that bounce to others SELLER BEWARE!!! BTW 6-11-10 @ 8:27pm you made a post stating "It run's", so your "The truck will not start" above is BS!
