Future plans right now include some more parts R&D with some shops and companies I work with, a slight rework of the charge piping, and when/if we go for big power we'll switch to E85 and add methanol injection. I'd also like to get a new transmission that I can have greater control over. The tuning on this one is kicking my ***, but if I can switch to a stronger trans with a manual valve body and floor shifter/paddles, I'd be a happy camper.

Apart from that, the truck is pretty much done. No major changes will be taking place unless something catastrophic happens to one of my other trucks

8 yrs and I haven't gained 10lbs.

Taking some of the **** head truck apart today to empty the catch can and nut/bolt the charge piping.

My friend at H.E.A.T. is trying to convince me to get with Ridetech to prototype a front coilover kit. It's either that, or rebuild the front QA1's
