Friggin cold here the past 2 days, but at least we got a little more snow on the ground, I gotta use that seasons boarding pass. Washed and waxed the truck in the garage last week (love having that spigot that I added). can't wait to get the nice wheels back on though, makes such a big difference

waiting for the snow.... this winter sucks big time. I don't know about all of you, but i've got a sled that needs to be ridden or i'm gonna lose it. Went out once so far this winter. Not a good thing. Should have about 500 miles on it by now. Oh well.

Still waiting on the manifold, all the LS6 PCV stuff got here today. The magic part to make this all work is coming along nicely. I hope to make it work with the mechanical fan and truck water pump. If so it will be big. I will make it alot easier for the truck guys.

I hope, once the manifold is on its off to the dyno. I hope to make 400 at the wheels. Etown opens next month, good cold air and into the 13s! Well I hope so anyway. Then a stall to get it way down into the 13s.

Got any pics of the magic, or are you going to make us wait until it's all done and dyno'ed?

holy shit man,
glad it worked out and your OK.
Thats some scary stuff!
I havn't been on the forums much at all and missed that post.
I currently have my 03 SS wich is off the road for a month or to.
I have some left over mods from my GMC on it,
Fans, tune, Volant and magnaflow.
I bought a used 04 cavalier sport(arrival blue ) I'm getting 30mpg for now but My 02 cavalier I used to own got 34 in the summer so I'm hoping the ecotec motor will pull through.
I Still have my stepside owned free and clear but it would be nice to sell it.

Got to get a winter beater,
The intial cost sucks at first. but I think its worth it in the end.
Mine doesn't cost alot to insure, service and it gets great gas mileage.
My stepside has only been through 1 NY winter and its going on 7 yrs old.

I never went to the fair up here but seen it on TV! LOL
I wsh my truck every chance I get to keep that salt off! The $$ i spend on the car wash I could get a beater to run around in for the winter!
