    Well a little bit of an update.. twisted the driveshaft towards the fronts splines. Will call tomorrow and find out whats the next step with that. Also installed an air bag in the right rear spring to help hopefully with launches. At least now we have something to work with. Trucks about 95% done now, except for more boost tune and nitrous.. just talking about the hard parts here. And now back to your sunday afternoon cartoons....

    How that did not snap is just mind boggling.

    Correct. The scarey part, however, is that nothing else broke because it did NOT snap...

    Thats funny... "FTW" required a Google search LOL

    Well crap... Wednesday's work was a waste of time. The 90mm showed up today and does not require as much relief or a gasket as I made for the stock throttle body. O well, I made the replacement in record time:miner:

    Brian, with the amount of fabrication skills you have, you could have probably made your own 100mm TB if you wanted:smart:

    Tranny problems have been the issue since Columbus. I have had a few meetings with a certain auto manufacturer who has headquarters in Auburn Hills MI :bigwink: and they had to get approval from the Germans... Slow process. Should be back on the road in August.
