Haha, I will keep that in mind when I am turbo shopping in a few months.

If anyone is looking for a nice platform for a swap i have a really nice/clean 91 LTD that'd be badass to run some twins on and have a perfect sleeper...lol it'd probably weigh 5k lbs but it'd probably light em up pretty nicely

Default Chassis work.roll cages

A few pages back I saw where guys were needing roll cages done. I have a guy here in Monroe (25 miles east of d.m.) that does outstanding chassis/fabrication work. He does roll cages, custom 4 link setups, fuel tanks, full tube chassis,tin work, etc. He is very reasonable on pricing and a good guy to deal with. PM me for his contact info if anyone is SERIOUSLY interested.

Mike and I were just talking about that today. We plan on doing an open house/dyno day probably in the May area.

Are you the one who bought Pat M's Camaro? He was just down at our shop today talking about that.

MMmmm Dyno times are finally here! Will you be able to tune on the cars as well? I know Mike said that was the goal but wasn't sure if your that close yet? I'd to change up my shift points before race season.
Yes. I plan on tuning several 'friends' cars to get a feel for the flow. Then once I'm comfortable, move on to customer cars. I have a procharged ws6 right now that I'm messing with...definitely a tough one to start with.

I might be able to have the lowest if an AWD car could run.

Probably 240 WHP.

A few of us Iowa car folk got together last week at Buffalo Wild Wings, we'll probably meet up again when it warms up. This local forum is usual where we setup the get togethers Iowa Auto Forums . Its a forum for all of Iowa but a majority of us live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo, Cedar falls.

I'm dragging the old black Mustang home tomorrow...So I'll have 2 Mustangs in the garage again.

Ready for some good weather, so I can get some miles on this biatch!


BTW....Bryan, I forgot about this video....Nice to see you the other night! Let's do a tech BDUBs outing or something.

Cool, sounds like you are getting busy on it. We need some corn dogs or something for the winner.

Regarding?

I assume the purchase of them. On the main page of the forum, right hand side is all the website sponsors. They are all very helpful and will be willing to get you moving in the right direction. WS6store.com is local to us and a great shop. I highly reccomend them if you are looking to stay local. Hell, use them if you are getting stuff shipped too.
