  1. So, it’s AWD...right? Did you disconnect the driveshaft for the Dyno?

     

    Love the updates and video. That little bugger is sick!

     

    Thanks!

     

    Yes, I weld the center diff to avoid buying about 3K worth of LSDs and a 4 spyder diff to help keep things together above 600 ft lbs. $0 is better than $3k. :). this effectively locks it in 4x4, so just removing the T case makes it locked 2wd

     

    ^^ Something I'll not every likely have the pleasure of saying. You make it sound so easy and casual. Love it!

     

    I figured the HG is either Fully foked, or it just chattered the head a bit, and I wasn't going to hurt it "more" hitting it again at lower boost. Only one way to find out right!? :dumb:

  2. In testing a new compressor wheel for my GT42, we had a little whoops. Saw 980whp and just decided to send it. :cool: Issue is, my previous 50psi controller setting is now something near or over 60psi LOL. The bag news, it lifted the head. The good news- is it made 970whp before 8k RPM :eek: The pull before it made 980whp at 8900rpm. Safe to say she was on her way to some JAM.

     

     

    So, I put the hose back on and turned it back down to 40psi, and it made the same 850whp it did before. So I called it good and drove home. :cool: Track results coming soon....

  3. Do any GM Assembly Line workers make 6 figures? I highly doubt that.

     

    so do they (that last link is really interesting):

     

    When you factor in their GM covered retirement and GM covered beanies, absofreakinglutley.

     

     

    Ok, let’s pose a hypothetical idea. Let’s say the UAW and GM parted ways and GM had to continue business as a non-union manufacturer. How long do you think it would take for GM to end up providing good pay and benefits to their employees (I mean assembly line employees) just so that they were competitive with similar jobs at other companies?.

     

    Not even one freaking day.

     

    I would even bet within 2 years over 50% of the work force would be the same guys that used to be in the union.

  4. I may be in the minority, but I have always felt one could be happy in a cardboard box, or a house in the Hamptons. Happiness is an internal directive. No matter how BAD it is, it can always be worst.

     

    And, there is nothing worst than being dead.
