    STU 33 Blaster #1 Cut w/ 091

    The car slid good. No turn brake, and only rear brake on that car. I was able to initiate a slide with a tap of the brake pedal. I had tried several different tires on the 12" wheel before getting a hold of the 10" wheels. I was real happy with that combo.

    STU 33 Blaster #1 Cut w/ 091

    I ran the 13 plus paddles on a 10" wheel and an 091. The narrow wheel made the tire a little taller. It worked really well, and never had issues with the trans.

    Swingset is just not for me!

    Kind of how we roll. We usually start a ride from the washes to Olds. Quick stop at Olds to make sure all the equipment is good. Then we roll out with a general idea of where we're heading. No real set point. Our stops tend to be somewhere that just looks amazing. If we end up at swing set...

    Old School rails? Anyone use them anymore?

    My last car had a 2180, then a turbo 2332 that I kept building and adding money to. Running straight race gas and looking into meth injection when I finally decided to pull it and throw the mini van engine in it. The only thing I regret about the swap is not doing it sooner.

    Who’s going for Veterans?

    Lots of stories from this weekend. Things broke, things got fixed, more things broke, lots of alcohol consumed. Nobody got hurt... Great trip! Missed the ceremony due to a break in my BIL buggy, but we were there in spirit. Wash 6 cleared out early Sunday, so we decided to stay...

    Who’s going for Veterans?

    Plan is to load up tomorrow so we can head out after work on Thursday. I may have to roll out with a dirty motorhome though since I haven't had time to wash it yet...:confused:

    Antigravity battery or any other lithium variant

    My car came with a Full Throttle battery in it. I expected it to be bad by now not knowing how old it actually is, but after two years, it is still cranking along. I do keep it on a tender though so I'm sure that helps...

    Which CV grease to use?

    Recommend two tubes for 4 CV's? I want to get some ordered while you have it in stock.

    Review: Gearone Super CV Boots

    One of the main reasons for buying the car I have now. Gear One hubs all around with Gear One power rack. The car is about due for new boots, and I plan to try their new super boots as well. I've only heard positive feedback on these boots.

    Another J35 Swap

    So with all that above said, adding the 3/4" spacer to the existing seems to be the intended use from P2R. A quick call to them would clarify that I'm sure.

    Another J35 Swap

    That's right...hence the longer runners on the LS truck manifolds. My bad there

    Another J35 Swap

    Well, I guess a longer runner would translate to more top end in theory... The short 3/4" runner is for torque. I'm just speculating since that is true with most domestic platforms. I have not tried to stack them myself. Now I'm going to have to go down that youtube wormhole LOL!

    Another J35 Swap

    Not the best picture of the headers, but Hot Head made my headers/exhaust and used the little race mufflers as well. He adds a baffle to help quiet things down, but it still sounded great rippin. My Tom Face headers had so much drone, you couldn't hear crap over it. Also, easy to flip the...

    S5D vs Fortin FRS5

    Curious, are you changing over for the 5th gear, the sequential shifting, or to handle more power? I have the Fortin 4 speed H-pattern now, I know they're pretty tough.

    What is yore goal / plan for the 2025-26 season?

    Hoping to have my engine stay together this season so I can make it out more than once. Got a new to us DP so hoping nothing major pops up with it. Wife wants to sell our 28' box trailer so we can get into a stacker. Damn them stackers are expensive!!! Ultimately, my goal is to be able to...

    Lets talk Engine Builders...

    Well.... I'm sure hoping Mike figures out why my engine keeps losing oil pressure. I brought my engine to him last year and so far, I have had a day and a half of a running car. Mind you, he is trying to get it figured out without charging me to rebuild it for the third/forth time, but I...

    Motorhome & Enclosed or 5th wheel and why?

    Another thing to consider... I use my box trailer to keep the bikes, generator, beach cruisers, ice chests, and dirt/sand tires stored when not in use. Helps me keep my garage space. Not sure if you would want to store things in a 5th wheel with all the fuel smells and everything.

    Motorhome & Enclosed or 5th wheel and why?

    They both definitely have their advantages/disadvantages. We recently looked into switching it up and going to a 5th wheel. Some very nice trailers out there but what brought us back to the RV/Box was the fact that only a few trailers will fit our car. The ones that have a garage big enough are...
