Wow, seriously I think I was begging for this to happen. Driving to work today and one of my old vacuum lines poppped off and began rubbing on the turbo hotside. Well, all I can say is that I'm glad I had a fire extinguisher and I pulled over.

I was able to rip it out and get it out of the car before anything became engulfed... then I drove to work.

Get one now!!!! :flag:

Lol. No its been running great. The hard start problem has been random to say the least. Some days its fine, others its the same. It seems like the colder days dont agree with it.

Ive been doing small things like interior panels, carpet/upholstery cleaning, etc.

Im more excited over the fact that I fixed the ashtray in my Dodge last night. Its been broken since I bought it and never really bothered to look at it till last night lol

You should.

You're proud of it and those wheels are sweet, pics would be cool.

The stroker build should make it a beast. But you will be forced to boost it if you want to fit in ;)

No 500hp won't. But you need custom pistons anyway, go a point lower, plan for boost and 800whp :)

I really really wanted to do that in the beginning. But I just love the sound of high compression V8s. Its such an "in your face" sound that nobody can resist smiling when they hear it.
