You can catch up on my ride here:
https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...tblock-478266/
I think some guys bought some land up by Crossiron mall and will have a world-class 1/4 mile track built by 2014. For now I just want to run an 11-second pass up at Castrol this spring. I have 1 7/8" headers and a 4-inch exhaust to go on and will be doing some more tuning after that.
Guys, we should get together one of these days. I have HP tuners and have installed a couple of superchargers, done the 80E swap, converter upgrades and all of that junk. I just put in a new trans but I wouldn't recommend the a-hole who rebuilt it. The tranny is good but the guy is a flake. I have another one in the garage that I'm going to build myself as a backup.

My condolences on that.
I am from near a crummy little hamlet called Pickardville..... not in it but about 4 miles from it.
Rides are my signature. 04 is getting a turbo setup, cam and convertor. Just finalizing sizing and should be ordering parts this week.
Negative on clubs and meets. I used to frequent Castrol a few years ago with my SRT8 but sold it and stopped going. I took the GTP out last year and just failed at traction but still got a 14.5 out of it. black04 is from St Albert and him and I hang out occasionally. He gets to help install the turbo on my truck since he did it once already, lol.

Whenever I do dyno stuff I go to tilley over by brooks and deal with westers garage. He's a good guy with fair prices.
But if you have the patience to learn which I might try someday get the efi live and tune it yourself like vmax said

Where are you guys getting your tuning done? I would use an online tuner but I would rather get it done here in town if there is a good tuner around
I'm in the NW.

I'm out in Cochrane. I'm just finishing up my S480-96mm 1.32 A/R upgrade in the next day or two but it doesn't look like mother nature is going to let me drive it until after the holidays.

I've got a friend who recently purchased out in cochrane. He's got a black nnbs on a 3" lift with black wheels and blacked out grille. Maybe you've seen his truck?
So looks like we've got people all over the place! Now we just gotta find a central location for a meet!

There. KB kit with a PT 76/75 .96 A/R turbo is now on order. Now I need to get the cam and convertor, fuel system, methanol injection and odds and ends on order. I guess I technically have a set of LS9 head gaskets coming too, lol.
