Awesome. If the weather is good I'll be there.

u can test and tune all night if you want.

 

With times?

Do they run a test and tune before hand? I'll probably be there.

 

But i would never run that much compression on a car thats pump gas and most likely Driven often.

 

Like several STOCK OEM turbo vehicles?

 

It's fine if its done right. It's all cylinder pressure in the end.

Passed a wreck right after it happened on 71 heading south between Polaris and 270 this evening around 6:30. Guy looked to be in pretty rough shape. He was on what looked like a white R6 or similar sport bike riding with a guy on a purple yamaha cruiser and maybe a 3rd bike. Several people had stopped to help him and the ambulance was headed there when we passed. Curious if anyone knows anything about it.

Marion doesnt care about anything. I've gone 130+ there with no helmet in shorts (hey, it was hot out). I was out tonight and the track was worse than normal, almost no cars though.

Imagine what it would run if the differential did its job!

There is a lot more that goes into a motor being pump gas friendly then the static compression.

 

I would go with the lower compression forged pistons if you havent had it balanced yet.

I do have a dryer, havent tested it yet. I can on Tuesday. Been to busy to update the forum.

Thats BAM's dads Cobra. Its running a backup motor due to some issues with his 347.

 

I've worked on it a few times.

I have a set of used Probe -22cc dish Pistons for a 351w, they are 4.030 and in good shape. They come with Forged H-beam 5.956 rods for a stock 3.5" stroke and stock rod journal size. I used them with a stock crank. All are in good shape, just need cleaned up.

Asking $550

Sounds almost like a washer or something was dropped in the intake. Pull the plugs and see.

537 on a stock bottom end? Have fun with that!

I'm down almost 10 pounds since my son was born 10 weeks ago. Really watching what I'm eating and hitting the weights harder. Down a total of 85 pounds since April 2008. No good recent pic, but here's me this weekend at a hockey tournament. Second from bottom left:

You play hockey with Baughman?

How late can I sign up for the event? I'm still undecided

I assume you HAVE to be there by 8am to run?

Is it to late to sign up for this?

How much did it cost you, Rob?

 

$5,500 I think. The guy I used just retired, but I wouldnt recommend him anyway.

I had one put in last year, its about 3 cars wide and replaced my front walkway and small corner flower bed. Basically the driveway wraps around to the porch. I've had some issues with it settling, but I park a 35k pound truck on it. It is not hard to fix when it does settle, and I've only had it settle in 2 spots from the truck. I love the way they look.

I've never done it, but I can't imagine it is much harder than base board. Miter saw, tape measure, and a nail gun should do the trick nicely. Should be a pretty easy, after work one night DIY project.

 

Doing crown correctly is MUCH harder. You are dealing with compound angles because the molding sits at a 45* angle to the wall and ceiling. If you are off a degree or two on the corners it shows up a lot more.

 

I did my basement and it sucked, I got a few tools that made it easier but it still wasnt fun, I wasted a decent amount of material in miss-cuts.

so basically you conceal carry it.... :dumb:

 

I wouldnt call an outside paddle holster concealed, its just a small gun. But no, I am not packing a Redhawk with wranglers and my shirt tucked it.

I open carry my keltec .380 in a paddle holster frequently. My T-shirt covers it, but its fairly apparent if you look at me. I never get bugged. The gun is so small most people probably think its a cell phone.

I still have no idea how they plan to do merit based pay for teachers. There is no decent way to make that happen, and the end result will be WORSE for the kids.

You do realize that most schools just lost a lot of gov't aid, right? Thats why most of them are in a scramble to pass operating and emergency levys.

What gets me is "If you don't pass this, we are going to cut / fire / whatever". That tells me that they did not have the funds to have them to begin with......

So school should be 50 kids per teacher, with a few part time aids to make it legal, no gym, no art, and the shittiest cheapest teacher they can find? Thats whats going to happen in a lot of these districts. School districts DRIVE property values, if not for helping the youth thats a great reason to invest in schools. No one will want to move to a town/neighborhood with a shit stripped down district.
