I gotta get tires. This thing breaks my 315/35-17's loose when you stomp on it, anytime up to about 70 mph. I can see I'm going to get in trouble with this!

Btw, I can't stand being slow. I'm going back e85 for right now and retuning for big power. Lakeland dragstrip has wayyyy to many fast guys now to be slow.

...texting, taking a drink, just like a roadtrip lol

I should have the truck out fairly soon on motor atleast. so I can see how the suspension is going to react and stuff. I have a little idea in the works, the truck may never see the boost. may save that for the next project. something lighter and built to be more track oriented

Just adding another post for Mike to come back to!! LOL.

We got everything done a few weeks ago but it still had a bad vibration in it that we could not track down. The only thing we did not do was send the converter out to be cut apart and checked so while it was there we had them change the stall a little (might be a little faster). I did not think I broke that much crap but it should be back on the road this week.


I am taking the bike to the track Thursday night if anyone wants to go. I have not run it in over a year but I am going to spray it if everything goes right.
