Talked to Rick, the guy that makes these controllers got me straightened out. If I run it in a boost by time configuration, everytime it eclipses 3# it will start the timer sequence, so I i ever do anything from a roll I’ll have to manually change the sequences.

Adjustable lca and panhard showed up, along with my plugs and some parts to the tq arm, I’m pretty pissed at FedEx right now. I am sooooo sick of this smart post crap. They picked up my intercooler pipe kit on the 21st, hasn’t moved since. Called em today, they said they won’t be giving it to usps until the 6th, then to allow 2-3 days for them to deliver it. What the FUQ

Well got some progress done today! Bought all the materials to make my tq arm, mount, and trans crossmember. All my suspension is here, time to get started! I installed my hd2 kit into my 04’ 80e I took in on trade, trans and fluid looked greatttt. So that’s a big step, now trans is ready to go in. In the morning I’m headed to the local yard to get a rear end so I can get that completed. High of 3* tomorrow, so wish me luck.

Got the pumpkin centered, housing shaved clean, lt1 backer plates mounted, and my new lower control arm mounts built. Should have her all finished up tomorrow. 31 spline posi rear, lcarbs, disk brakes, have about $250 total into it. Can’t beat that. In the iroc pictures I did the same thing, but I also built dual caliper mounts and ran a dual caliper setup on the rear.

Take the cold over a million people crammed into a little area, hurricanes, etc etc etc. I can’t hardly handle eating at Buffalo Wild Wings, let alone walking on the sidewalk with 2000 people each direction of me.
Pretty well knocked the rear end out, tq arm mount I suppose I should add another plate on the other side of the mount, so the heim is sucured on either side. I used 3/8 steel, I doubt I would have any issues like it is now, but better safe than sorry I suppose. Other than that she’s ready.

that looks plenty stout to me, that bolt is short so it doesnt have much leverage to pull in shear.
i say run it, and pull the bolt after some hits and see if its galled up or the hole is elongated. i bet it'll be fine.
speaking of, how do you adapt the companion flange to a suitable 1350ish u joint?

I think I may just run this the way it is, they are both grade 8 5/8 bolts, should be stout.
