Default Thanks Don....

I know there have already be about a billion of these threads, but I dont care. I have to publicly thank Don for the awsome job he did putting my truck to gether this past winter. When I told Don I wanted to go faster, I really had no idea what I was talking about. But Don knew and he got me to where I wanted to be. He was fair in pricing and gave it everything he had to get my truck done. The truck is more than I could have ever thought it would be and I have only put 120 miles on it and got gas twice (I still have to figure out the gauge thing).

Don answered every question that I had through out this whole process and took the time to explained to me why stuff was done the way it was. I know have a much better understanding of how these engines and turbos work because of this.

I also want to thank Keith, Marcel, Griff and anyone else that help with the truck. Also I need to thank Mike for being Dons test subject when it comes to building the turbo kits.

Thanks again Don and I will try not to break anything anytime soon.....

That truck has to be scary fast for a street driven truck.... a v8 s-10 can be a little hairy, your setup has got to be 10 steps farther up that ladder. The shock you can put on people that are driving performance cars when you dust them off the road has got to be a blast.
