Fastjack, we are not here to do an infomercial and will not promote any product or service as we are not site sponsors.

Thank you Walt, I really appreciate that. I readily admit that we had quality control problems on your truck that, at the time, we could not sort out with the guys we had in the shop at the time. We have since added more experienced techs in the shop who have really helped improve our overall...

We first discovered the #3 rod bearing problem back in 1998. Dave and I both lost motors in our Viper GTS coupes on back to back weekends doing some high speed testing. There are a lot of theories on what causes the problem and that is an entire seperate discussion which I dont have time to...

It was the turbos.

As many of you have followed the saga of Walt's truck, we have been chasing an elusive oil management issue (ie, smoking mosquito sprayer) on his Venom 1000 Twin Turbo. All we could do to try to fix the problem was to change one part at a time to locate the culprit. Well we found it last week...

EKOOL SAID TO PUT YOU ON DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!

adding a lot of rw hp combined with increased shift rpm's is not a good combination for transmission durability, at least from what we have seen.

i am not an expert on the subject. you could call and talk to somebody at stoptech or baer racing and they could talk a lot more about diy cross drilling. cross drilling looks cool, saves a bit of rotating weight and could possibly cool better. but the oem's like porsche have a special...

keep an eye on them over time for spider cracks around the drilled holes, especially in the front.

no it didnt take that at all. i could have been up at walts place but instead was standing in my shop for 2 hours talking to a time waster like you. by the way, why dont you get some more car club titles to go into your sig...

you are lucky i didnt send you a bill for wasting my time......

thanks for the kind words. we will get it sorted out. i wish it would have turned out perfect the first time too. but i will caution anyone who thinks that they can build a 1006 rw hp pick up truck - it aint easy and sometimes requires extra effort on the builders part - and we are glad to...

between vipers and trucks we have built over 60 TT systems in the last 5 yrs. during that time frame i have not seen this before. it is definately an oil flow to the turbo(s) control problem. also, Walt - we now have your chrome intake in the shop ready to install.

ROKTMAN - WILL YOU BE PROVIDING FREE BBQ FOR EVERYONE IN ATTENDANCE? IF SO THEN I MIGHT COME......

Walt, thanks for allowing us to come to Tulsa and spend time with you and your truck. I had hoped that we had fixed the problem last nite. But since it didnt turn out as a 100% fix, we are glad to take care of it in Houston while installing your chromed intake. Jennifer has arranged...

with Walt's approval, i will fly up to Tulsa with my shop mgr on thursday. we will bring a spare flow control, new plugs, tools, etc. the worse thing it could be would be a bad seal in one of the turbos. we have a relationship with a good shop in the tulsa area and will have access to a lift...

make sure that they carefully and correctly mount your front cover to the shortblock when you get to that stage. if they do not allign precisely then that can cause the oil pump to fail.
