Thanks guys..
As far as the truck is going, I smoked my tranny a couple of weeks ago, tranny is back together now, installing it and a Vigalante torque converter in the next couple of days..

Just installed the upper half of an Escalade dash
(Still working on getting the dual stage air bags wired)
Escalade steering wheel w/ steering wheel controls (Radio & paddle shifter)

Nordskog gauges
Pioneer Avic N-2

Metal "Transfer Flow" modified fuel tank with sump and 3 baffles getting powder coated now should have it back by the end of the week, hopefully I can put an end to my fuel pick up problems..

Getting ready to start on a refridgerated liquid intercooler cooler..

I am concentrating on finishing this project up before running the 1/4.. As tempting as it is at times, Ive learned the hard way its better to finish before racing then race when I can before I am finished..

Unfortunately I didnt accomplish a lot over the summer between health problems and being very busy at work, but hopefully I will wrap this project up in the next month or so..

I havent had any time to catch up around here, is there anything major I missed over the past 6 months?

Grippy, what times are you running nowadays?

Thanks again for the welcome back guys!

Bought the biggest thing I can think of is Parish running a 10.08 and winning the Hot Rod deal.

last time at the track was 13.8@98. Basically with just the Stock radix and DOT cheater slicks. Brian stopped with the CrewCab because he knows this year he doesn't have a chance in hell

And if he did, he wouldn't get close enough to wipe my ***, although he would be able to give me my ET/MPH at the end of the strip
