No Levi saying his truck hasn't broke since he put the gm wheels on it.

Hmmm, Gay For You?


That's flattering and all Pete, but I have a girlfriend. There's been plenty of pictures posted in many threads here, so you can't say I'm lying. Besides, you know Hineman can see this, right? I don't need him being all jealous and coming over here trying to slap fight me.

Well, I just ordered a set of wheel spacers. 1.5" for the front and 2" for the rear, try to get that stagger settled a little bit. I got a good price on a set of 3rdgen wheels but I told dad about them and he got all jealous. He ordered his truck with the factory steelies and he's got some buyers remorse. :lol:

If he ends up whining his way into them I'll just keep rocking the PYOs until another set turns up. I still can't say for sure that I hate those Chevy wheels, though my little fender relay acted up on me again. In the parking lot at work, nowhere bad, but if it craps out on me in the McDonald's drive through during breakfast or something those wheels are gone.:P

Baby bump, been machining that boss down on the blower this weekend on the world's oldest/slowest mill.

And just finished it up a bit ago.

Image

Now I can just use a flat 1/8-1/4 plate on the bottom of the blower to make a mount/outlet.

Waiting on a price for my drive pulley, they said they were making it. I got one with a 7.5" diameter since I had the room for it. Should help me out on drive ratios. :lol:

Also have a dyno day this Saturday, I should get some numbers for the current setup I have, and also come home with a shiny set of 3rdgen wheels. 8)

You'd think Hineman would cruise out with me to get some numbers for his truck...

Probably too scared though. :P

Yup, the frame is painted, assembled, and sitting in the yard. No need to bring it back in until I disassemble the Dodge, I'm going to install the drivetrain first.

Hineman has Ahale syndrome, bunch of work in a truck but afraid some dyno guy is going to blow it all up for him. :lol:


Speaking of Alex, for people without him on FB, his FRT threw down 708hp on fuel and 1090hp with someone shooting a bottle into his intake.

Oh, and I learned something today. If you start calling people's personal phone numbers sthi starts getting done. :lol:

I got the cell number of both the upholstery guy that still has $550 of mine and the cell number of Brice, who still has $1600 worth of my turbos. Brice apparently sold his company about 2 months ago. I was unaware of this, but found out when I called BBD to see what was up. New owner had no clue wtf I was talking about, but said he'd text Brice and have him call me.

Week or so later, I get a reply to my post on CompD for Brice to get ahold of me from their new online guy. I explain to him what was up, and the new owner just gives me Brice's #. I give him a call and he said he'll get ahold of me tomorrow with a solution. :lol:

About the same with the seat guy, his company gave me his number since he left no trace of my dealings with him. Turns out he got into some kinda tax trouble, but he said give him a couple weeks and he'd at least start making payments back to me. I hate to kick the guy when he's down, but I'm sick of getting whAt? all the time lately. :?
