Im hoping it will be back up and running by the end of next week hopefully but with this little problem who knows

broke compression ring while assembling the 418 last night
Its going on 3 months right now and before the last time it went down it was down for 3 weeks drove it for a week then its been down every since. After the new motor is in it is not getting anything else done to it for a while.

My new bike has made it a little easier to live without the truck

OUCHIES CODY!! that sux. Where are you gonna get a new one from?


My goals for this year go as follows:

Get my damn Built TB stall in
Cam install with titanium retainers and 918s
4.10 gears with trutrac
port my tb or have it ported
WHEN my tranny breaks. a fully built 4L65E replace it
Transgo shiftkit
servos
MT slicks
ASP pulley
125 wet shot in the summer
If i find a good deal on some worked heads ill do it.
Crap i may have forgot something....Damnit


The little white longbed wants to run High to mid 12s NA and when the gas is on it 11s. Then im done till i bust the motor.

Im a poor college kid so i kinda need to focus on graduating but there is a little bit of an addiction that i cant shake.

OVERAL GOAL:

mid to low 12s

FEW STEPS TO GET THERE:

new tires
mini spool my 308s or install 373s
Vortec heads
treu Ram Air
ditch my catback and go headers back true duals
100 shot

OR
build a "bullet proof" vortec

SIDE GOAL:

make the truck look good again (someone hit me in the rollpan! and ive got some noticable paintchips)
and then make it look better with the SS Camaro style functional ram air hood




big dreams on a little budget...
