Not much left on mine. Throwing some fresh plugs and wires on tonight. Then just general clean up from there, wax, rim polish, etc. Anybody going to be burning the midnight oil between now and then?

get my truck finished and painted...
I know of two trucks that have had some changes before this shootout.. For myself i never leave things alone... sometimes i take a step back.. but in the big picture i feel like i am making progress for my combo. I was able to service the rear axle and change out Chipped up R/P.. service trans and torque converter.. fix rear shocks and brake lines.. get the interior out and seats for a cage.. come home and pull transmission and install super throw down race converter for sar :) ... Work on my tune up a little.. check valve springs and change plugs and wires.. look for anymore problems with the motor.. I flushed oil coolers and trans coolers along with fuel filers... next week is a bit of road testing and see if i can hit the rollers after i get the trans back in ... also.. forgot i have a bent axle....... so its coming apart today and going to try and have a new one machined... Then next weekend try and hit the race track for a few test hits.. bring it home and start all over :)
Its gonna be a miracle if it happens but i'm gonna try to get a stall, headers, and gears ordered in the next week or two.
well, my truck is absolutely 100% bone stock as it sits right now, so ive got ALOT of work to do....
install all new nitrous system
install standalone
install line lock
wire up nitrous and line lock
install injectors
retune
then basic stuff... plugs, gas, random wiring, take out a few hundred pounds of weight
and buy a new vehicle to drive when i break ay SAR
How are you setting up your line lock? Blocking off the rears from the pedal or locking in the fronts?

Absolutely nothing. The truck has been the same and still runs strong! Maybe just change the plugs.
Jamest
Alignment, new tires, normal stuff, try and get her on the rollers the week or so before

oh... and scratch off buying 2nd stage... that is now done... all fittings, noids and lines will be in my posession soon... time for 11's or a hole in the block... im heappy either way
I did the same thing. Set out to do the rear brakes but ended up locking out the fronts. It works great, and safer IMO. I have a few pics of where I mounted the solenoid posted on this site.

Find a job so I can justify coming down there and playing, right where I should be. :rock:
Hmmm after today lets see. Build a Iron 5.7 new, bigger cam, Bigger turbo, intake, fuel system. hmm not looking good now. DAMN THE LUCK
My truck is in a bizzillion pieces right now. If I get it back together in time, its either going to be a rocket ship or a complete (blown up) turd.
put everything on lol
get my stall in, clean up some wiring, get the bottles filled, pick up race gas, get the fender, grill and bumper fixed, and move into a new place.....oh and drive my truck 8 hours and hope we dont break.
Talk the boss into some time off, grab some plane tickets to DFW and try to hitch a ride with one of you bastards. Or get a full week off and bring my pile down.
I'd say fly, your probably going to hate the drive, and end up regretting it. I know I would.
Flyings likely cheaper too, not like my truck is worth bringing anyway.

Bananas? What? I have never heard of that. I just know that mixing heavy amounts of drinking + late night trips to Taco Cabana always make for some decent thunder...Quote:
