Can't wait to see it out Ricky, Josh seems like a hell of a nice guy, and he has some nice setups. That thing is going to be nasty...

Cats outta tha Bag. Me and Ricky are teaming up to build a Nasty Street car. I should say streetable car . Doing a pretty basic yet Race oriented 6.0L manifold build. Somthing simple and effective. I will be taking plenty of pics along the build.

Guys it you have not worked with or as least talked with josh you are missing out he is one of the best guys i have ever delt with. About 3-4 months ago i had no idea about turbos and not with his help i have learned a lot, plus he has bent over backwards to help me. Great great guy. I just hope that this old turd does what we want it to do when is done!

i knew it i knew it i knew it!!!! i knew you were gonna go do ky setup. i am lookin forward to this thread. when its all said and done you gotta tell us the difference of both sides

btw, didn't you have an m6? i would've kept it an ran a taller gear even if et's suffered. shifting is too enjoyable.
