I guess you could say I work for McDonald's. I work at a Distribution center that delivers to 800 McDonalds Resteraunts. We have over 40 Big Rigs leave out of my building a day.

that notrile rubber couple coming into the throttle body will do a good job turning into a balloon under boost.

It is a high temp rubber yes, and I have yet to have one blow up. But I will keep my eye on it and if I dont like it, then I will go back to silicon instead.

Default more pics...

Ok, here are a few more. Just have to have the driveshafts made for the lengths and I am done underneath just about.

I just mig welded instead of tig because we are on a time crunch and I dont think mark would want double the time into tig welding. hehehe. Save the bling for the engine.














And someone asked about the trans coolers....
