Well, I got the exhause leak fixed, damn crappy v-band
had to build a .050 spacer to put in between the the flanges to space them far enough for the clamp to put them tight. I think I'm going to have to raise my oil drain hole though, still getting a little bit of blue smoke when I let off the gas after making a run even with a .075 restricter in the oil feed 
. I'll try to get a vid done. I think my camera will do it, I've never tried it before. But I have to tell ya, I'm loving the spool

I told him earlier it looked good so don't get your panties all in a ruffle.. Trick has a nice kit, but they were by no means the first. In fact I think the kit I build for my dads truck I did before Trick released theres and its this same style. Thunder550 has probably about the first kit of this style. It was build by C-Motorsports for Parish 4-5 years ago. One thing i did take from the trick kit was the low mounted WG on the cross over.Hey, did you make it out to Bandimere Sunday for the truck races? I was thinking it was next Sunday and my truck wasn't really ready yesterday to go down there
. But I think I'm going to be hitting the track up here for some disappointing high altitude numbers this Saturday

I think it boosted a tad quicker with it sealed up, but mostly just got rid of the noise (tick tick tick 
) Don't think all be trying the .96 on the 4.8 any time soon , maybe on a 5.7 though.

, I didn't think people would get so bent out of shape with my comment. I just had to talk smack cause we like to give each other **** about our setups. No I didn't make it out for truck fest, Went to a car show with the T and put on a for sale sign. I need to get rid of it for a bigger toy. A few buddies went and said there was a **** load of trucks there. mostly lightnings runnin 12's. atleast mines quicker than my friend D-max 
Maybe next year. We should definately hook up some time at a track and see how slow we are. lol!

Haha Spoolin, but I have a magic little button I push that "fixes" all my traction issues . I tried to make a little boost gauge/speedo vid last night, but you could seen nothen, my camera doesn't like the dark even with the dome light on I'll try again to day after work.
