well i thank my dad for getting me into the auto world since he has his own shop and always had something cool
and as far as getting onto the site.....well i saw videos of parish's turbo truck on youtube and went out looking for a single cab but found a ext cab for a good deal and got it.....and immediatly started reading up and modifying it.
skeet is one of my top motivators as well as virgil and quik
5.3l-Tsp 220/220 .581/.581 112LSA, Comp 918 revised springs, tsp pushrods-UDP intake, LS1 E-fans, Walbro 255,vette servo, tru cool 40k cooler-4.11s with detroit tru trac. Nitrous Outlet big noid wet system with Harris Speed Works plate and Microedge controller-only on 75 shot........for now!
Tons of people on this site have helped me out. The short list would be Mic has helped me more times than I can remember, Allen, Greg, Virgil, Moze, Kurt, Jon but lots of others for sure. But as far as getting me into modifying my truck would have to be the fact that my brother-n-law has always trick out his rides. Also the fact that 2yrs ago he didn't really thing that these trucks could be fast.... He has since changed his mind. But yeah i would thank him he is super smart and always helping me.
Name: Mark,
God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

i never had an influence to push me through the automotive world. I am into chevy cuz i learned to drive in my dad's 87 silvy. i started to really get into it when i had a 95 dodge ram that needed new head gaskets. after i found out that motors are really big legos, it all fell into place. my engineering drive keeps me motivated as well as just reading the joy someone has when they complete their build. This site overflows with information and thanks to everyone for answering my questions and putting up with my crapand a special thanks to rob (robt34) for always lending a hand and mark (slo truck) for lending a garage

1976 Corvette Stingray: Trying to save it, progress is slow.

09/21/2010 02:31 <danger_ranger83> I'm not really worried about the looks...I want it to be fast and ugly...bc no one wants to get outrun by something ugly
Jim (Parish8) originally got me hooked on the nbs truck thing. He was the inspiration behind getting my truck to run 11.0's and look completely stock.
Casey is solely responsible for a crippled bank account and the inspiration to be the first 10 second nbs truck with a procharger. Currently holding the record at 10.46.
Flaco is responsible for my current headache and a drained bank account.
I do however owe thanks to others for the help along the way:
Jeff at Custom Automotive Maching (Engine),
Chuck and Vince at FLT, Vicky at PI, Chris at Circle D (Trans)
Dave at Procharger (Procharger)
David at Texas Auto Gear (Rear End)
Allen at Nelson Performance (Tuning in the beginning)
Brian (Madman) at Madman Racing (Current Chassis)
Carboy in Houston (Private Dyno Time)
Joe at Leftcoast32 (8-rib setup)
Rich at Bogart (Wheels)
to name a few.........................

I do what I gotta do. Everybody I mentioned in my post gave me free parts as part of my sponsorship deal with them. What can I say, I'm a whore.
As for my truck..............it's not a street truck, it's a race truck so get that right
If I could stay out of the hospital, I could work on it more than once a year. I'm going under the knife again in less than 48 hours. This will be my 3rd surgery in the last 9 months due to self inflicted injuries.
