With power these trucks need something better than stock. :)

I did. The truck is owned by mike111777 now. I had to narrow the frame and C notch it. I installed huge tires requireing the narrowing in order to tuck under the fender.

BMW Northwest in Tacoma area. Kompact Car Corner tols me they had the info when I spoke to them.

Mine was more, but I upgraded everything to billet while I was in there. I wish I had all the documentation for Mike. It had everything documented. In the course of the transactions the dealership lost the build documentation.

Trans was rebuilt by Dusty hawk of htstransmissions.com/index.html Good luck with your goals with the truck. I was never interested in going faster than 11.5 as I was unwilling to add the cage. That is why I never added the juice even though I staged for it. I used the truck as a daily...

The truck ran a 12.0 on the virgin run after the build. I never got the chance to dial in the suspension.

Frame was narrowed. Axle was narrowed. Bed was tubbed. 4 linked. Wheels widened.

I miss the beast. I am glad Mike is investing the time and resources into taking it to the next level.

I sold my truck at the beginning of the year. Life changes and finances dictated the need. Last I saw it was listed by a dealer on E-bay.

I am still holding steady at 5 lbs lost. I am also averaging about 50 miles a week on the bike. The milage is a mix of true road time (20 - 30 miles) with the balance on the trainer. Weather has and will remain a major factor over the winter. It is my plan to step up the milage and duration...

I liked mine in dry weather. :)

Thanks for all the well wishes. I understand the speed at which cancer can rob a life. I was originally chasing Lung Cancer in January of 09. Lung cancer has a 80% death rate in the first year. It has a 95% death rate in 5 years. From January to April I lived in that fear. In late April...

Today marks the three year mark of being cancer free. I am celebrating that by getting back to a previous goal. I am back on my bike. Last week I rode 50 miles. I plan to keep it up till I achieve the Seattle to Portland ride in either July '13 or '14. Dale

Mickey Thompsons are what I ran. See the signature pic.

When I added the supercharger. Next I ate the tranny. Then I ate the engine. I would take it to a real race shop and do the 4 link again. The axle, tubbing and wheel widening were all worth while. I am not real sure about adding more power or the method though. Some have added power with...

Is the kick down cable installed and tensioned properly?

Yes and no. Stock it was more reliable. Built it was like every other hot rod. It was in constant need of attention. Did it handle well? That depends on your goal. Those giant tires did not like to turn in the rain. In the dry, it ran like a raped ape. I could spin the tires at 60 mph...

1997 Porsche 911 Targa - Stock and staying that way except for head unit.

It was a very sad decision to sell. I was just always in fear that it would break big again. I was at the end of my financial resources for big repairs. Last year alone I replaced the tranny again, front brakes and rotors, and I had 2 tow bills associated with diagnosing and repairing the...

I did sell it. I had to. Every time I turned around it was another $4,000.00 - $5,000.00 repair. I just could not keep doing it. I was paying alot of money for something I could not drive more than half the year. With my family obligations I decided I was better off financially without it...
