Do you really want to be the guy running 16s with slicks?

That's not too bad of a deal then. I'm not sold that I need a truck, but I really do like the looks of the new GMC / Chevy trucks. Not like I could really afford one at the moment anyways.

I remember looking at GMCs with a coworker back a number of years and a V8 single cab similar to what I priced out was about $19K. I thought it was a decent bargain at the time.

I got bored and built myself a truck on Chevy's website. It was a 2wd regular box 5.3L single cab LT with very few options, the damn thing was $27K! I was thinking of maybe getting a truck, but to hell with $27K for a basic truck. Since when were they so damn expensive?

Dear god that is slow. Back when I was running 16s I used to tell people that they were just mad I got twice the track time every pass.

What's wrong, NASCAR got your tongue?

The good thing about a 454ci motor is that it's so damn big. It's going to make power somewhere and that's generally going to be everywhere if you work with the motor. My opinion is that you work with the engine and just open it up. Get some moderate heads, a cam to match, and headers. Just...

That's because the pad material get's deposited onto the rotor face. It's the actual pad material on pad material that provides the braking ability. Pad material build-up is also one of the key reasons for rotor "warp".

Don't forget that you are feeding a hungry electric fan assembly when you are running the A/C as well. Some of the factory fans on the bigger trucks pull alot of amperage (25+ Amps). I don't think bigger cables is going to do any good since the load is normal. You could feel the cable and see...

State Farm since the day I could drive. Had one claim for hail damage, and they took care of me. Hopefully I won't have to deal with them again, but I'm happy knowing they'll take care of me. My rates finally go down this upcoming month... I'll be 25.

Good lord Paul... she's 15 already? Well I guess I'm nearly 25... time flies.

I don't think the rears will look that small like they do on the black truck, mostly because you have a white truck, and there's more for the eye to reference. They'll look good.

Camshafts are one of the most important components in a modern internal combustion engine. This is a simple guide on what all the numbers mean and translate to when you go looking for a camshaft. Terminology: Duration - The duration of a camshaft is measured in degrees of rotation. There...

Yeah, some "street car" ... :lol: When it can drive in traffic to work, and back, in the rain... then it will be a street car. Otherwise it's a drag car with lost potential.

I guess I don't understand the whole, let's build this expensive as hell race car, then let's risk it all by putting some crappy tires under the thing, and make it go slower on top of that. It's not really proving much.

Not what I would do to a Camaro, but I suppose it's cool.

I hate stability control, the first time I encountered it, I lost control of the car because I wasn't expecting it. The car understeered towards a direction I didn't want to go. It's a 350Z, I'm not going to flip it at 30 MPH.

I was unsure of your company name at the time. Meds make you do crazy things... like typing out elongated replies because you have nothing better to do.

Cams regulate the timing moments for the valves and are one of the most important parts of the entire engine. Duration is the 3-digit numbers, expressed in degrees, that tell you how long the particular valve (intake or exhaust) is open. In the domestic world the cams are often expressed at...

Oil doesn't really lose it's lubricity... in a good syn. oil you are only really losing the additives package, which provides some of the agents to improve lubricity (zinc, moly, etc.). The lubricity provided by oil is just because of the barrier it forms between the parts. So long as you...

Changed the looks of the truck quite a bit. I'd have to see it in person.

They might be both rated as a 30wt. but the 5w30 has less viscosity at operating temp than the 10w30.

Because I want to mimic a 0w30. It won't be a true 0w30, but it will be close.

Who makes that lift? I'm buying one when I can afford to...

Slotted rotors are a waste. Modern pads don't gas out like older ones did, and the slots basically just cheese grate the pads. Just my experience with them. I like Axxis Ultimate brake pads, alot of bite initial and warmed up, and they are fairly affordable. Hawk HPS are a real similar pad as...
