It is possible..Dustin did it, why can't anyone else lol? Of course I'm in debt, nearly every college student is. Cracked a piston at the wrong time, and happened to be taking out a pretty big loan already, so I just added a little more to it and built my engine. Cut back on everything, still wear the same boots and clothes I did in high school, now I'm a senior in college. All the extra money I've made goes directly into my truck. If you play your cards right, you can make it happen. I also go to a college where tuition is pretty cheap, and I pay just under $2k a semester for housing with everything included so I pay no utility bills or anything.

Let's drop it and get this thread back on topic.

Which 72 are you going with? VGT or s472? Either way is a good choice I think. I sold the s475/stock kit off my truck and picked up a Danville 72mm 4094. Can't wait to get it running next week.

I'll probably stick with the VGT. I was thinking of selling my kit. But since I'm in to the whole custom look thing. I like the way the twins look. So I'm going to keep them. Throw the the 72 in the valley and some 80 over tips and start rippin

Nice. I wish I could have kept my twins. Ended up getting rid of them to help fund the build. They will be back eventually though. I'm not sure if a 75 could be machined to an 83, but if possible, that's the route I'd take. I've talked to Mark Broviak quite a bit, and he seemed pretty impressed by the Danville 72/tct s483 setup.

I have 75% overs and a wicked diesel stage 3 cp3 right now. I'll let you know how I like it in a couple weeks.

What'd you end up going with for pistons?

PPE race cast with valve reliefs, yeah let me know on the fuel set up. It would be nice if I didn't have to sell my 75

So how many hotties do you take out if you still wear the same clothes you did in high school? :roflmao:

If they still fit, why throw them out? Doesn't take a whole lot to impress them here. A truck and a pup will work wonders. Should I start a new thread for my college relationships? I started a build thread a little while ago that I haven't kept up on hardly at all. Go there and leave comments about me if it really concerns you lol.
