Maybe the fire issue will push the powers that be towards listening to you. One can hope.

I love your avatar on Texas Street Cars. I can't find a pic of your Buick, though.

How the heck do you get 80+ hp out of each cylinder? :shock:

Well, the turbo is about the same size as the one found on the C15!

I will post pics as soon as I can figure out how. All forums seem to have different formats.




Here's the truck...i hope. All of the red has been removed as it was deemed "too busy" by all of us.[/img][/code]

Nice slow 12.1 pass on 20 psi.

Cool pix, thanks. I'll definitely holler if I see you on the road.

We changed the picture on the back. We now have a pic of a 430 cruising on a back mountain road - super high resolution. It's nice, but the big problem now is that people take flash pictures of it while I'm driving at dusk. Freaks me out. Then when I pass a 4-wheeler they speed up to get a good look. Then I can't merge back over - really ticks me off, but I guess that's the price you pay.
