Cool out of town update

Update: Had the truck tuned and man its totally different. I'm hoping to do headers and a driveshaft around christmas and head back to my tuner. Bryan told me there were gains to be had on e-85 and I was hesitant until I ran a full tank through the truck. Its insane, the mileage suffers but theres a large power bump or so it feels.

Some of you may have also seen my udp thread gone wrong. Well long story short the damn things stuck on and not all the way seated yet. I've been out of town for work for a bit but I think I'll be able to get the bolt out and replace with a proper length factory bolt. As of now its on far enough that it wont shred the belt and driving impressions are good.

Since owning the truck the kill list has grown

12' 370z pulled half a truck from a dig to 95 twice
07' TBSS 2 lengths by 95
09' Sentra ser? bolton tuned 6 spd car (much faster than given credit) just shy of a truck length by 95
08ish S2000. mods unknown but they werent enough to upset

A few others but nothing too exciting
heres the tbss video

I need to lower it more, its still sitting like a monster truck. At this point i'm thinking coil relocators, remove blocks, clamp leaves call it good for a bit.

about to roll over 10k miles! its been a blast so far

Another small update: installed the trucool 40k today and wow what an easy and effective mod! I only had to trim a few small edges on the stock grille support to fit it up. Also I used factory lines and fittings. I'm not sure why everyone has been cutting the passenger side and putting a compression fitting in, with some very minimal manipulation it all connected fine. before the cooler on a 4 hour long car cruise down to arkansas i was seeing temps as high as 195 (manual shifting and higher rpms). after a spirited drive today (around 45 minutes) It hasent gone past 135 and its 95 here outside. I'm stoked!


notes on the flip kit from rough country I installed:

needs at least a 6 degree shim

also will need the tranny spacer from belltech to eliminate vibes

crap shocks. I would like to find a bilstein hd to fit my needs

ill post pics of the trucool install later today, Thanks for looking!
