Was going to post some last drag days YouTube's but don't remember how on this site and seems kinda pointless to put time into figuring it out at this point haha. Enjoy regular links haha filmed on a toaster circa 07-08 Starmaster Sl600 running with top down haha 12.10 at kilkare Both my cars running each other

I'm still waiting for COFBA to make a comeback

Damn...remember him from the old days.

I have both....the 870 is quieter/tighter but the 500 shoots better. Can't go wrong with either.

And now we'll be taking questions from a small hand selected group of people who were instructed what to ask

You're better than I am. Weekend would've been over for me as soon as I had truck trouble. I wouldn't have been able to have fun or sleep knowing my truck wasn't right so I'd have spent every minute getting that in order.

Couple years ago I bought my son a 20 gauge Mossberg 500 combo that came with a cantelever barrel and truglow scope along with the smooth barrel. I have a rem 870 in 12 gauge. I use his gun more than I use my own. With Hornady SST slugs is as accurate as just about any gun I've ever shot. It's a tack driver. My youngest son will be getting one in the next year or two.

For a million dollars I'll lose weight.....another million I'll stop drinking beer. Anything less than that you can pound sand haha

I agree....looks stupid. I will say though that it's definitely not the first dumb fad and won't be the last. I've seen the air shock/shackle fad with wide tires that stuck 2" outside the rear fender wells, fart can mufflers, wings, etc etc. The squat stuff too shall pass and it'll be some other dumb fad.

It's frowned upon by most even in the diesel world these days. I'd say there's a far greater number of gas burners on the road tooling around without cats. What about commercial diesels? Ever see those guys going up an on ramp with a heavy trailer? If a strict smog testing policy was brought back how many on the board would fail? I don't feel sorry for just the diesel guys.....I feel sorry for every hot rod guy out there because this won't end with just the diesel guys.

Someone told me firepunk was in trouble for tuning. I haven't been able to find anything online about it so wonder if the guy knew what he was talking about. Have you guys heard anything like that?

I've said that for the last 4 years.

Haha...I remember the ls1 edit days. That's what I started on.

I have 3.73's in a 12 bolt and a converter now. I run 93 all the time and would pull probably 4-5 degrees at least. I'd have to look at the tune to be sure where my timing is these days. 98's were pretty aggressive factory at 28 degrees but seems like I added 1 or 2 to that. Been a long time since I've really looked at my tune. I have some stuff to research and look at.

Thanks for the replies. Gives me something to think about. I'll ask around out here and see if there's a place that fills bottles. Seems I get to about this point every time and start seeing all the downside and end up talking myself out of it haha. I could go to a bigger cam and go faster but work/reward for that kinda sucks. I have a 228r in it now so definitely could gain some since that's a smaller type cam but like I say.....work/reward sucks going that route.

That's kind of a concern but I'm pretty sure I could get away with a 100 shot for awhile. Hell....I only drive the car a handful of times a year as it is. Even if the motor did let go that would just motivate me to do an LQ9. I know about the plugs, timing, and tuning. I already have a racetronix fuel pump with hotwire. I also have hptuners and tune myself. I've looked at kits a few times over the years and always talk myself out of it. This time I think I might do it. I want to go a little faster and short of starting over with boost spray makes the most sense. I was looking at a plate kit from nitrous outlet. I just want sure how hard it'll be to refill bottles and things like that.

Been looking at kits. Not completely sure I'm going to do one yet but for now just trying to do my homework. Just thinking of doing a smaller shot....like max of 100. I live in Lancaster...is there a place close to get bottles filled? How long does a 10# bottle last and what does it cost to get them filled? It would see very limited use after the initial "new toy" thing. Just looking to add more speed to the car....have had the heads/cam for years now and kinda bored with it. Car is a 98 formula.

Not sure if this helps you but https://www.ebay.com/itm/CARBURETOR-MCCULLOCH-3200-3205-3210-3214-3216-3212-2012-chainsaw-USA-Seller-/123982894004?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 And if you want to rebuild it way cheaper.... https://www.sawagain.com/mcculloch-3200-3210-3214-zama-carburetor-kit-rb-45-z1/ Another place to dig around is jackssmallengines.com. I've had alot of luck with those guys in the past on parts

Couldn't make it through it.....

I'd like to just see the treadmill

The smaller diesels are interesting for sure. What's the payload and tow ratings for your truck as optioned? Payload was the main limiter for me when I was looking at trucks. 5 people in a semi optioned truck then dropping a 1400# 5th wheel hitch in there didn't play nice with payload. The other issue I have is repair costs. That reason alone makes me want to get a different camper so I can go to a gas truck. Diesels are ungodly expensive to fix.

I didn't watch it but let me guess....if it were a drinking game and you had to drink every time they said "trump" or "mob" you would be shit faced drunk right now? It will be years before he decides to move out of their heads.

What about mainstream media and it's spread of misinformation? I don't trust information I get from anyone these days. I no longer watch the news for anything other than the weather.....and even the weather can be misinformation haha. Wish there would be just one credible source of unbiased reporting out there....I would like to know the news but I want the actual news. Not someone's opinion of the news.

There needs to be a mass exodus of Facebook and Twitter. They need to go the way of myspace. I've never done facebook. I signed up for it years ago and saw right away it wasn't something I was interested in so deleted it and never looked back.

That doesn't surprise me. I've talked to several people that have had it and months later are still a little off one way or the other. There's definitely an age aspect and severity of infection to it. At this point I'm just thankful I didn't get the respiratory issues from it because that really worried me. I had a lung infection 2 years ago that did a number on my lungs....they haven't been the same since so I was worried. I can deal with the fatigue and brain fog....I didn't want to have to cart an oxygen tank around which is what my older brother is doing now after he got it.
