I may drive up one Saturday to check it out again. Pretty long drive from Elizabeth City. No worries, though.

Just finished a clutch/flywheel swap on the floor of my garage. What fun that was. I am waiting on my Tick Master. Hopefully it will get here soon.

Good guess on the hp, it put down 495 on the dyno on a 100 shot and running rich as hell with a vacuum leak. Since then I've upped it to 125, ported the heads a lil bit, and still running rich as hell with a vacuum leak So I figure on the juice it'll put down right around 530 or better after I find that damn leak... my intake manifold is the suspect right now. Anytime you wanna go for a ride just hit me up, I'll PM you my number. Name's Jerrami (Jeremy) by the way.

I'm not from Texas originally texasglock, but I do have a lot of family in Houston, DFW, and San Antonio. I was stationed at NAS JRB Ft. Worth for 3 years, I bought my car while I was stationed there.

Best of luck with the install. When it came time to bleed my master cylinder, I wanted to shoot the damn car with my .454 Casull. I got my Tick master cylinder today...hopefully its not going to be another PITA that the stock master was. I plan to install this weekend. Regardless it looks to be a stout piece.

Mines an auto so I dont have the pesky slave cylinder bleeding issues. I have had more then my fare share of auto transmission issues though.This is transmission number 4 and hopefully the last for a long time.

We'll see, if I do not get orders to Texas I will not re-enlist. I graduated from Rowlett! Went to Mesquite High for three years before going to Rowlett. Graduated 2003.

Lol, I get that a lot about my name... been called all kinds of crazy **** growing up, from J-6 to Jermaine to Jeremiah... list keeps growing. Most people just call me J.J. or Jones. Sorry bout the pm foo, I thought I sent it but I musta been smoking crack or something that day. I think the leak's coming from the back side of the intake manifold. I wanna take it to the hobby shop this weekend and try to find it before I start my next project

Oh, and for everybody with orders to NAS JRB.... screw you guys lol. J/K, that's probably one of the best duty stations I've been to so far. Not so much the base though, but the DFW area is the ****!! And there's some mean *** rides out there too. I'll probably end up back there after I call it quits with Uncle Sam.

Heard the cops did stop by and said as long as no complaints then they could stay. We'll see how long that lasts.

Jenro's is just too far of a drive every week for me. That hour drive gets old quick. Maybe the Portsmouth thing will start up again this year. Although I have heard nothing about it.
