I don't believe in the concept of "goals". One cannot live with the placement of goals in front of them, or one will procrastinate and not do. What one must do is be progess, and make progress do to who he is.
I'm building a drag truck over on this end. My goal is to have enough power to make a lock-up and overdrive a liability.
Currenty looking for an S110 axle, as per KTA's recommendation, to get some limited slip action and disk brakes.
Planning on building a DIY nitrous kit to get off the line. Gonna put the nitrous jets in the BHAF box I'm building.
Looking for a 12cm w/g housing.
Got a Goerend's TC installed and a Hughes manual valve body on the bench.
Intalling a WVO system for the last two years. Got it all but the filters. Planning on running #6 Diesel in it.
Installing 5 inch sideliners at the beginning of Summer.
Going to have to install a water injection system to make up for the intercooler; like gman, I want mine to be dynamically controlled and programmable based on boost pressures and EGT's.
Tweak my pump to it's fullest, get some injectors after I get my twins. Nothing fancy there, just do it on the cheap with the stock turbo on top and a 3HTB.
Probably will never be satisfied without a bigger pump. But I wouldn't install a P-pump in a first gen. Actually I might, along with a back-yard propane system to compensate for the lack of variable timing, as the P-pump would probably be better suited to running #6... But, I'm hesitant to do that.
In order to make up for the lack of overdrive, I'm planning on boosting the powerband as high as I possibly can. So a cam and whatever springs KTA's running. And Diesel fumigation in the intake.
And the woman in the passanger seat would be nice to.
Ya'll know that I haven't had consensual contact with a female in 10 years? Ever have those thoughts that kind of surface and sink for years on end, but you don't really dwell on. Well, I had one. In second grade, the little Mexican girl with the doe eyes, straight black hair and pale skin. Anna-Leigh Sanchez liked me. She let me hold her hand once in the cafeteria, after she flirted with me by stealing my fruit roll-up. So she sat there looking at me with the fun and the mirth and the trust as I punished her like the bastard I am by twisting my hands about her wrists to burn her. And I saw that joy and intimacy in her eyes turn to fear and disgust, and I saw the tears, but I hurt her on purpose and wouldn't stop until I saw them. So I don't know why I was distraught. And she went and told the lunch supervisor, and I was told by God herself that "I never want to see you put your hands on this girl again". I was never friendly with Anna-Leigh again, but she came to be all women. And so my subconcious, indirect underminings of relationships; my self-imposed social alienation, my chronic ineptitude with females, my pornography addiction, my unhealthy attraction to my truck; how much of it stems from fear of presenting my true sadistic, uncontrollable, unempathetic identity to my fabricated identity of lies and superficiality!
