For some reason Ive been getting really pissed at my turbo lately. It has me yearning for throttle response. The big single is a blast, don't get me wrong, but I'm growing tired of it. I'm thinking of doing a lightly modded 3794/475 and being done with it.

I was always a big single fan and was going to swap out my twins for one but after daily driving my stage 2r 3794/s475 twins for awhile I would never even consider it now. The response is great and it has plenty of power potential for a daily driver. The truck is a blast to drive. For me to be satisfied with a truck isn't like me considering I have taken my built truck apart every time I finish it for years now because I'm just not happy with it and I want more. The current build is by far the most expensive and time consuming and if I'm not happy this go around I think it will be long while before it gets any attention again.

I've tried my damndest to keep this a hobby. Thats why BBT is back to stockish and why the 1/2 ton sits in the shop all torn apart, slowly being put back together. No rush, no worries. I work on it when I have time or inclination. If it all works, great. If it doesn't, oh well. Its more fun learning, experimenting and building something than anything else for me. Now, if only I could weld......:roflmao:

I'm actually thinking about taking white devil down a notch and going with a vvt/s400 setup at some point. especially after hearing how well harbins truck runs. I would like something that spools a little quicker with a little less smoke. course I need a bunch of stuff before that happens.

Yup! Seriously Tom, it's just a hot glue gun. A "nice looking weld" comes with time but you can still make a very strong weld that doesn't look like a roll of coins. Quit being an stubborn ass and call me when you go get a buzz box :D. I can walk you through damn near all you need on setup and how to weld tips. In a half a day you will be welding pretty damn good
