Thanks for signing up J. I hope that we can get into some more of the EFI-conversion SBC-type stuff. I know you can't wait to get that thing together...it's gonna be sick! :drool:

Let me know, I'll contribute what I can...Ryan and I talked for awhile last week about the set-up I'm looking at...he seemed pretty impressed I would be getting everything for under $3K.
I'm REALLY wanting to get it done...it's been FAR too long in the making.

you are too kind. Thanks for the props, but I'm not sure about mag material or not. I know I'm pretty proud that it's been built about 95% out of my garage. (only thing not done at the house was the actual BC/CC paint...even the primer/sealer was done in the driveway). Once it's one the road I'll owe ALOT of people a ride.....there has been alot of the labor on this truck paid for with beer/pizza!!

I let you get it first..theres a few Dakota guys running that, but not many. In the "dakota" world I have not heard enough praise about it to get it.

I just found that site yesterday...GOOD info so far.
The only way I'll run the SMT6 is if I end up getting the sytem through the guy I posted before. They "pre-configure" it to my set-up and offer lifetime support.
