Yea it did..lol All I had when I was there was the Subway next to the little BX Tent. For Food we had to send a truck with 2 guys on it to the DFAC on Stryker and pick up like 4 coolers full of grub for all of us fire fighters. They did hook us up though..we got all kinds of food. It just sucked when you had to do it..it took like an hour to do..had to go pick up food, run it to the Fire Station on Sather, then to the big one next to the Air Port. It was fun **** driving on the backroads.

You ever drive through Saddam's Zoo?

Best part about them is they can ship asap instead of trying the steel flywheel, which is STILL on back order.

Well....there are a few ways to get that done, but it cannot happen more than a few times or eyebrows get raised.

Word is they will come in soon, but soon is a relative term.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but do you have to replace the flywheel or will a stock one work?

Thanks, Seth

the stock LS1/ls6 flywheel will not work with the LS7 clutch. You have to use the LS2/3/7 flywheel or our ram alum one. The one from Ram in the book is only for the LS1 at this time. We are the only place that has the RAM Alum LS2 flywheel at the moment. It will prob be like this for a while. But we still sell the heck out of them.
