    Darkanion's new wheels!

    I had Bose Systems in my Avalanches, and my last LT Crew Cab, Yes, max out the Bass/Treble and it sounded good, but only at extremely high volume. I was only impressed at how loud and crisp the Bose system was, but not at low volume. Seemed to lose its tone. But, that is what Bose is all about...

    Cool merlin, I didn't realize you came over. I didn't see it appropriate for me to recruit you from your place so I didn't. But now I see you been for a long time. I had no clue.

    Darkanion's new wheels!

    Don't feel bad Dark, you are not alone. I wouldn't say, "If I had been smarter", more like, If I had disciplined myself better, cuz I knew the same, I am now 44 and nowhere near where I should be either. Although, a major 2 year set back with a bad back injury, and even then wasn't able to go...

    2011 Ford Police Interceptor

    Cops don't like Wrong Wheel Drive Cars, if this new interceptor is Wrong Wheel Drive, I doubt it'll go over well and Ford is shooting themselves in the foot hardcore.

    Darkanion's new wheels!

    Thats true in away too. And when I say I never paid for ass, we all have if we were married or dated for any length of time. You know thats why they say women have a slit between their legs. Thats where you swipe your credit card and then it gets maxed out.

    66chevystepside-the rebuild

    I'll just tell ya, I disagree with the guy at work, and NO, you are not getting 20-30hp more, and no you are not getting even 5 hp more using the 750, No you aren't hurting the lifters at all by soaking them longer. No harm at all, just not necessary. I agree, get it running then you can play...

    Darkanion's new wheels!

    Dayum !!! So much for a guy explaining why he got rid of a truck for financial reasons and explaining other corners that were cut first in an effort to keep the truck. Good to see there are some out there that aren't affected by the shitty economy and they are rolling in the dough and can make...

    66chevystepside-the rebuild

    Thats to much carb Alan. 600 is quite suitable for that motor. If you hear of somone really needing a 750, and they have a 600, swap carbs with them. You are not going to hurt the performance any with that oversize carb, but you sure gonna waste gas. Also curious as to why you are soaking the...

    Well, if you'd love to have an automatic, then Git'r Done, its a piece of cake. And I also forgot to mention above, flywheel/flexplate swap and also starter swap, since the manual tras starter bolts thru the bell housing, and auto starter bolts to the block. Switching to auto is a cheap cheap...

    Darkanion's new wheels!

    Man, are you single too??? You sound alot like me. Its rough in this economy to make it on a single person income. I live in a small 1500 sq ft 4 bedroom, 2 bath 2 car, bricked house with a fireplace in a large Cul de sac lot. Lucky for me I have been in this house for 11 years now, so the...

    Darkanion's new wheels!

    Well, if it makes you feel any better Dark, cuz it won't me, but its a matter of having to do what you have to do. I let my 05 loaded leather ass warmers and all go for a Yota Rolla cuz of gas prices, and even though I was hooked up in the truck, I had to add the upside down to the payment fo...

    How to choose a camshaft

    If your running juice, I have not doubt, you know what you are talkng about in choosing the right cam. But many do not, like the need for differant springs, or long slot rocker arms for high lifts, or higher compression pistons to compensate for valve overlap and losing compression. And yes, you...

    And that is addiction is one thing I am certainly afraid of. I'd be like you. I'd want to squeeze it just to scoot forward in the drive thru line at Taco Bell. :crackup: I lack self discipline badly when I have power !!! :drool:

    How to choose a camshaft

    Its true, you do need to know a little bit about choosing a cam before you buy one, and need to know what you intend to accomplish. You hear people say, I gotta 292 duration 505 lift cam for a SBC and WOW, that dude will run. Not neccasarily. Its gonna run good for one purpose or another, but it...

    This is all true. I like the Vortec head idea best before you get to giggle juice. Even the nice camel humps are old school these days and sure not the elite like they used to be. GO Vortec heads. JMO, but I also am not a big fan of NOS. Seems to really shorten the longevity of a motor, and I...
