monthly update for those with sc/turbo's

That sucks man.. I just read a couple other post. I can understand why you are thinking about some drastic steps. I hope it never comes to that.

THats like puttin deisel in a gas car or somethin......A VERY expensive mistake that takes about 2 minutes to make...

hey Blake with these trucks depreciating $2000 a month...these guys have cost you ten grand.....:D
 
Dave, if you keep the truck and get it running correctly, let me know when you head back to Bandimere. If possible, I'll meet you there and give you some moral support.
 
Hey Broke, I'd like a rematch when its running correctly. I gave Dan at DC a call and hope he calls me back. Credit card is in hand. I've e-mailed him a few times as well but nothing has come back. I should know if Dans fix is "the fix" as the truck should really get going from standstill. If it does, I'll try and go to a test 'n tune night at bandimere when I have a wednesday evening off.

Truck didnt sell through e-bay today so I plan to keep it. I've got a nice sleeper on my hands, just need the right parts to wake it up.
 
my build is finally straightened out.....we did Stage 3 ported and polished Heads, 2.02 intake and 1.60 exhaust valves, full bronze guides, titanium retainers, heavy duty springs, T&D roller rockers and hardened push rods, billet throttle body, mopar performance headers, high flow cats, flo-master mufflers, and a thru the body side exit exhaust, also installed a Fidanza flywheel and a Center Force clutch, i had a VEC2 installed and she ran like crap, we had all kinds of trouble but Boomer bailed us out....we went with a Boomer Stage 2 flash on a stock computer and kept the original just in case!
Had her on the dyno yesterday and she made around 570 rwhp.....i was very excited about those results. I'm picking her up Friday night so I'll post up the dyno runs and some pics over the weekend! I can't believe I haven't driven her since November....Holy Shite!!!!!!! She's getting detailed tomorrow, so it looks like I'll be ripping it up on the weekend and then off to the NATS:rock:
Wait until you boys see the interior....she's like an S-Class Benz inside....Completely Redone from Headliner, to seats, to carpet....I'm dying to put her up for Truck of the month!!!!!!
 
Sounds real good Donnie, I am looking forward to seeing it. Although I liked your interior last year.

Bill.
 
570...my lucky number. Thats what mine was making before I entered INTO this STUPID PROJECT! Now, Im 7 mos and an S-10's truckbed FULL of money into it.....DONT TOUCH IT ANYMORE DONNIE! LEAVE IT ALONE!
 
Spoke to my tuner today. They are hoping to have my truck running by the end of the week.

Walt

Macedo Motorsports in Orlando, FL is doing the install.
 
Ordered my blower flash/new pcm/thermostat from DC Performance this afternoon, should have it early next week. I cannot wait to see how it wakes up the truck!!
 
I have over 9000 miles on my Paxton......

I've had a Paxton for over 2 years now....

My only concern is that they won't get my CARB legal certification to me before I have to smog it.
