Sucks to hear. Good idea to keep it stock though, at least for a DD. keep me posted on the parts for sale list if they become available.

Stock rods. Thinking boost was higher than I thought or dunno. AFR was 11.5-11.6 according to the log of the run. I dunno I moved my gauges down to where the cup holders are at cause i wanted a stealth look but am realizing that was a dumb move cause the whole point of gauges is to LOOK at them and it's hard to do with them down there.

Damn, can't believe I just now saw what happened. I don't blame you one bit, thats the main reason my EX- yes EX lol would get mad was I dumped tons of money into a new truck that was only driven on weekends and after breaking a few motors I threw in the towel and sold it as is I was done burning thousands of dollars in to it. Well kinda, since I got the camaro I have tons of ideas but taking it slow this time around lol

Ya. Wife wasn't to happy with what I was dumping into it either. She is all for me having a dedicated race truck/weekend toy though. She doesn't mind me spending the money, just hates seeing it down and still making a monthly payment on it

Got a guy locally already hitting me up about it also LOL.

Chances are I will keep it. Will save me money in long run when I go to boost my next ride.

Ak throw some good rods in that beast and run the **** out of it. It going to cost a lot of money and time to go back stock. When all that wrong is the rods are bent.

nah, rather have a dedicated track/weekend toy that's paid for. I could go forged rods but then I will keep wanting to go faster, go bigger.. break more stuff....

Id rather not have a huge *** monthly truck payment on top of a broken truck sitting in a shop.
