      I probably have 50 miles on it since building it and none of them have been trouble free but I'll get it there.

      • Made 6 passes in the car this weekend. Still working on dialing in the tune, boost controller, and rear shocks. Going to the dyno this weekend... then to interior guy to finish up next week. Then back to the track!! Time is ticking!!

          • If you keep taking two steps back, and one forward, you eventually go around in a big circle and get back where you started?

            • I gave up trying to do a 9.5" 14 bolt crush sleeve with the truck 2ft in the air. Waiting to fly home so I can use the freshly machined pinion spacers and finish this damn 4.10 gear swap

              • Well I hope I can get some of the pics of my new car to upload. I started building the car about 3 weeks ago and I have made pretty good head way with the help of my friend Mike Witt who owns Devo 2ning. We have been jumping around on the car getting this and that done while waiting on parts and pieces. I am trying to have it running and driving in 3 weeks or less. We will see. http://imgur.com/V7Ku4vS I don't know we will see.

                        • Took my junk out for a shake down run this afternoon. Put it on 16 psi of boost and it was pulling hard as hell then I look back and see the serpentine belt sliding across the road. I walked back down the road got it then reinstalled it. Not sure what happened but guessing the cheap belt has to much flex so going to pick up a gates belt tomorrow then hopefully head out for some TNT Saturday night.

                              New tensioner. I think the cheapo belt is getting to much stretch in it at 7000 rpm. When I picked it up off the road it looked brand new still making me think it stretched out and just walked off.
