I should really pay attention to the original posting dates....

According to SCTA, the rule maker for Bonneville (and other) land speed racing, El Camino and Ranchero type vehicles (which the Holden Maloo is) are not only not trucks, they are specifically Car/Coupes. Absolute land speed records (not class specific) are also certified by the FIA. The...

USMC 1967 thru 1970

Welcome from California!

No i haven't. The nearest dyno place is a little pricey, and I'm a little lazy. It will be interesting to see what happens next time I do, though.

To be more clear, I didn't gain 40hp from the IAT mod. I had showed even less hp than stock on the first pull with hot underhood temps and no cool air moving through the intake. When it had cooled and had a fan blowing at the grill it pulled the higher number.

The BBK is the same price everywhere apparently, even at their plant, which isn't that far from me. It is also a simple bolt on change, take old one off, put new one on. The IAT tends to pull a lot of timing if the intake air is too warm. My last dyno session it made about a 40hp difference...

I know there have been hundreds of posts about throttle bodies, but a few weeks ago I put a BBK on my truck, and I wanted to put my 2 cents in. I had not done this before because I thought it was a lot of money for no noticeable benefit. I was frankly very surprised when I noticed an...

Similar here. I (meaning my wife) have a CLS550 and even though it isn't nearly as quick as a C63 amg, it is still a very low 13 second car, and very nice to drive. It's apples and oranges with the truck, they're both fun in their own way. To me the truck wins in the fun category.

Welcome from another SoCal member!

Bump. Semper Fi

Banner Pics Thanks for the compliments. It was at Capistrano Beach, sort of between Dana Point and San Clemente. South Orange County, CA.

Banner I took some pics yesterday, and the banner is packed up and ready to go to 05srt6spd today. Pics are attached.

I just received the banner this afternoon. Thanks, Craig, I really like the surprises in there! 05srt6spd, apparently you do not have enough posts to receive a PM. If you see this and get the count up quickly, get your contact info to me. If not I will move to the next person on the list...

Totalled CE Not that it matters, but that CE is probably number 85 of 200, if the vins are sequential for that build day.

SoCal Welcome from OC. Glad to see another So Cal member.

Traveling banner It seems to be moving fast right now. I'm really looking forward to it getting closer to my turn. I just PM'd ViperTruck05 with my contact info.

Toyo tires I don't know about those trucks, but I have Toyo Proxes STs in 305/40/22 on mine right now, so they had them less than a year ago.

Mine is my daily driver, too, but I'm probably not a good example because I'm retired and don't commute anywhere. Less than 5k the past (nearly) 12 months. Nothing compares to this truck, but for normal use the wife's MB is just nicer to drive, and as much as I hate to say it, almost as fast...
