I was at Nelson racing in the One Lap. That place has potholes big enough to put cones in, and have them disappear! He rolled that truck in the decreasing radius right hander in the back section of the track, before the small straightaway. There was a very, very attractive EMT there though, so...

That's not a ty. It's a corvette with a blazer body and custom flares on it. Owned by the guy who runs the Carolina Rod Shop. I watched him roll it at Nelsen Ledges a few years back, he's lucky he didn't break his neck, literally.

If you have Baer brakes you may be missing the little spring "C" type clips on the pads. If you don't have them the pads will rattle around like all hell. You'd probably notice this though, it would stop when you hit the brakes. But they really make noise if you lose a clip...

I have a dual-temp intercooler gauge in my truck, been in there for like two years or so. For intercooler upgrades I have: wrapped IC in thermotec, rerouted IC lines with "soft" lines, Jabsco pump (always on), ATR aux CCHE, 90% distilled water and 10% Water Wetter. My mat's when cruising are...

Look up Mike Lee at Atomic Rooster Autosports. http://www.arautosports.com/ Don't listen to anyone else at a normal shop, and don't go to the dealer. Read the FAQ on the left of the screen, then read it again ;-) Get yourself a scan tool and a set of sy/ty manuals from HELM Inc. These trucks...

Damn dude that thing looks clean!!! Just turn it back to T1-15PSI until you get a scan tool on it :-)

The guys over on www.turbobuick.com are (have been) having a field day complaining about the failure's of the PTE 51-52 turbos on the grand nationals. They are snapping the exhaust side wheel off of the things. It seems to be hit and miss as to who/what is breaking them (high boost/low boost...

Look to the left, read the FAQ. Don't run more than what you're running now until you get a chip that can read more than 2bar. (the Ultimate)

Those pumps last a pretty long time. I've replaced one out of 4 944 turbos between my friends' cars.

He's old enough to "hit it" though I'm sure. UPS = :o

Finally, researched dyno testing! Kudos to you guys. We should set up a beer fund and send it to them. Post the results!

What's your buildup?

Man dyno the hell out of that thing and keep posting numbers! It would be great to see the AF graphs too. I'm sure someone can host the pics, it would rock to have that stuff posted. Especially if you mod the thing, it would be great to see the gains!!!

Yeah in 96 the competition sucked. As of late, what you read as the competing trucks is very misleading. I.e. that Ranger has a NASCAR motor, the blazer is a Corvette with a blazer body, etc. The one lappers are nuts, and everything is turbo'd, on nitrous, huge tires, etc. Then there's the truck...

My friend Aaron Burns drove that ty at the event, they won the suv class. He used to be an insteuctor at Skip Barber and some rich dude asked him to drive with him. He ran all of the track events, built up a lead, then the other guy brought it home in the final events. I don't remember the...

You know those "Your Speed Is" trailers that the police put up to remind people to slow down? Well, today I came across one in an industrial area on the way to dinner, and no one was around, anywhere. I stopped in front of it and launched, and I think you could have a pretty cool little "short...

Man you took out all the preload against it, it's not doing anything anymore.

Are you talking about bellmouthing the entrance to the intercooler?

That's no blazer, it's a corvette with a blazer body on it. I watched him roll it back in 2000 at Nelsen Ledges, he was lucky not to have snapped his neck. The guy who owns it runs a bad-ass hot rod shop and does customs for the NASCAR guys and such. It's pretty cool.

Yep, this confirms it, I hate my life. Missed nats for work, again. Software sucks.
