Yeah, I'm not complaining at all. I actually don't have a good setup for the 1/4 anyways, I need all 4 shocks. I really just want to make a good pass this year. Hopefully I can get it on the dyno and see some numbers

Life sure does get in the way of fun.

Well, at least your truck is already built! We just had our second child in June and my wife doesn't work either so building my truck is taking forever. I don't even want to think about how much longer it's going to take!! I bought the turbo and cam kit last Sept/Oct and I still haven't touched the truck. BUT I have a nice pile of parts laying around lol.

I actually had my truck built before we got married, so that helped a lot. Plus my father in law pulls tractors, so she is used to wrenching on toys. I also have a 72 Chevelle that I bought 25 years ago. I have all the parts for a twin turbo LY6 ready to go for that. Good thing I saved all those parts up over the years.
