  1. Wife and I are sumo wrestlers... we got the costumes that have a fan in them.. it's pretty funny... especially on my wife cause she's so short.

     

    I could totally be a dick and make some comment about how you wouldn't need a costume to pull that off. But, I won't. :p

  2. The link I posted in post #38 is about the wavetrac. I haven't seen any reviews on ls1tech about it. Lots of people are asking about it. A sponsor is going to run one at the track tomorrow night in a GTO making 809 rwhp.

     

    Hopefully he'll post the results up aftward.

  3. I feel your pain on the price. I'm going to wait until tax time as well. I know that I will be going with a 9" because I don't want to hear the 12 bolt gear noise. I just don't know what center section option to go with.

     

    I'm not sure if you saw it, but in another thread on ls1tech, a sponsor had this to say:

     

     

    The more splines, the stronger the axle. 35 spline axles will handle just about anything you're going to send their way.

     

    A spool locks both axles together, all the time. It is the cheapest way to go, and is the strongest, but for a lot of street drivers they would not find a spool to be tolerable. Why? Think of what your tires do when you turn a corner, the outer tire needs to turn more revolutions than the inner tire. If it can't, they squirm and are forced to turn whether they want to or not. Usually this just results in accelerated tire wear. Most of my driving is rural and highway, so I can drive a car with a spool and hardly ever notice it.

     

    I use to highly recommend the Eaton (use to be Detroit) Truetrac for up to 600 rwhp, but lately I have been having customers with some problems with them. I'm not sure if Eaton made some changes for the worse when they bought them out, but I never had any problems with the Truetrac until this year. They still have a good track record, but I wouldn't recommend one if you're going to spray nitrous. The Truetrac can only be had with 28 or 31 spline axles.

     

    The locker is a very strong unit that can handle a lot of power. It isn't much more than a Truetrac and can be had with 35 spline axles. It does have some negatives to it though. The locker can cause the back of the car to wiggle around when you let off the gas, as it doesn't always unlock each axle at the same time. It doesn't happen with every car, but I've driven one that did. I remember that I got out of the car and made sure the rear was still bolted in, it felt that strange. If you get a good one if will do everything you want it to.

     

    The Wavetrac is relatively new and is more ($460 more) expensive, but it comes with a limited lifetime warranty. 35 spline axles can be had with it, and so far I haven't hear anything bad about it.

  4. Nice work! I'd like to see you go at it. These guys started to do the "blazin challenge" at BWs last week.

     

    What do you mean by started? I've done it twice with ease. The only reason I did it a 2nd time was for the new shirt. LoL.

  5. Damn that's a lot of eating!

    I'll have to tell these guys about this burrito challenge.

     

    If they can't handle 3 and 1/2 pounds of food, there's no way they can handle this. From what the owner told me, a few have tried, I was the first to finish it.

     

    Holy shit man, thats impressive

     

    Thanks! I've also done a bucket of 50 wings in just under 30 minutes. The prize for that was a free pitcher of beer.

     

    My next challenge is going to be in Reno again. My brother called me the other day to tell me some place there has a 2 person pizza challenge.

    2 people, 60 minutes, 24" pizza that weighs over 10 pounds.

     

    I can eat a large works pizza from donato's by myself, so I should be able to eat a little more than half of this since my brother won't be able to finish his half.

  6. I did this challenge a few months ago. It was cake. I even went to DQ and got a blizzard afterward to wash it down.

     

     

    I have also done the 5 pound burrito challenge at Del Mar in Canal Winchester. Finished it in 21 minutes.

     

    Oh, and I weigh 170.
