Got a little accomplished today between rigs.. got my map sensor installed, down pipe flange welded on, checked under truck fluids, pulled the torsion bolts, and spent some time on the phone with Mark..

Pic of the 5" down pipe that the truck had on it when I got it.. I built the twin kit around this down pipe to save building another.. it's 5" exhaust from the turbo to the tailpipe.. sounds good running through the exhaust.

I'm really getting the itch to try and go fast.. truck doesn't even drive yet haha..

This truck has been mid 11s before.. would like to make a sub 12 pass this spring. Wonder how fast you can go on stock bottom end? 1000' elevation I think is the local track.. truck should weigh 6500 or less in race trim. Cal tracs and suspension set up should help too

The best part about stock bottom ends? You can find them pretty easy and it's just a weekend away from running again

Besides, at the rate you move, it would be 6 months lol

True story.. if my little girl doesn't start sleeping while she is with me I don't know what I'm going to do.. I've had maybe theee hours of sleep since Sunday morning.

Buttoned up some more stuff this morning. At a dead standstill until I get a water outlet pipe.. that's keeping me from driving the truck

Ic pipes installed, air filter installed, cleaned under the wiper cowl and put it back on. Few other little piddly things.
