Lol........oh and to add to the evolution of the Turbo setups and cams... i remember we was all running MPT70s and MPT76's and the big boys were running big T6 PT88s and such... now i see stock DD guys running 80mm+ setups! And cams, what ever happened to the 212/218 cams and keeping torque up....Hell all i see is damn Donkey Di*k 230s cams in 5.3s??? Crazy stuff...Guess ill stay old school and be slow... cause i dont want something that starts to pull at 3k with a big convertor in my morning commuter...

BAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA. Yeah, my truck I am still currently driving every morning. The turbo kit is still on the bench at the shop, I just got my TH400 in a week or so ago. Funny you mention the big converter. Mine is in the mail at the moment, so I have a loaner 5000rpm converter in it, N/A. works pretty good! The neighbors hate it at 7am in the morning when I leave for work. LOL

Yeah, a little excessive. I will be running a much tighter PTC converter. I still am very old school on the cam, it`s the ZO6 204/218. LOL

Facebook has ruined most forums- I hate not having new and quality content to read on forums even though I barely have time to check in once a week or so.

As for the truck scene... I have a 14 month old and a wife. Luckily enough I kept the older toys but insurance and upkeep on the new toys were a no go. I can't wait until my son is old enough to care and the 99-06 trucks are worthless, we'll have a blast. In the meantime I'm gonna keep eating bologna sammiches, working myself to the bone, and saving money.

I'm mostly a searcher lurker and only post info I cant find or help when I have a direct experience on the matter. Like stated earlier the project section is cool, especially the NA Sierra right now.

There still stuff that hasn't been done yet as far as parts go. Waiting to hear what blown06 comes up with for the escalade LCAs. 5 lug hubs is another.

Having knowledgeable moderators is what's keeping this place going .

Hey, as far as breaking new ground and turbos being in every kitchen drawer..........


There is still plenty of room to grow, records to set and milestones to be created using centri blowers. ****, 11's are fast, 10's has only been done by a couple of people (a long time ago), 9's is unheard of in a street truck, and I've only been 8.99 once. I remember when getting a turbo was joining the "dark side".....lol then what is getting a centri???joining hell? lol
