not sure i havent asked him. i know their tuning and mechanical work are lil expensive, but good quality. i just rather bring it there because i know justin will be the one in the cockpit. ed force 2 dont like strangers. i am not one to shop for deals, when i trust the person im dealing with.
i am starting to get the itch bad now hahahaha, we need some nice weather!
i might put it up on jack stands and give it a once over. i might even wash the undercarriage and exhaust. tighten up the bolts and undercoat.

I hate undercoat
Senior Member
I'd way rather do a coat of roll bar semi gloss looks way better and is a tough paint
Senior Member
Oh cause "undercoat" is a rubber type spray that turns brown and looks terrible after some time
i hate under coat coz its messy and never really dries. i figured i would try using tremclad gloss black.
i will ask J when i drop his signs off. i will let you know how much Tjay

i will tell you this. if someone can figure out how to bottle the ingredients of a 7-11 jamaican patty and make it useful for cars. there is at least 500 whp to be had in any car. nick installed a 5 point harness on the throne today and i have already stretched the belts, damn smacked my head off the roof. hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooly.
on a serious note justin came by today to pick up some signs for world of wheels. he told me that Hot Import Nights is coming to calgary for the very first time. it looks like the date will be July 25. i am going to enter for sure even tho it is right around my wife's due date. anyone else have any interest in going? it would be cool to have a good representation of gm's there, as we have some pretty decent cars around here.
Schedule | Hot Import Nights ? cars, models, music and lifestyle events
it should be a great time!

I'd be up for going to the show just not in it
your car wasnt fast jordan. a stock sc wasnt fast either. hell my car as it sits is kinda slow too. when you compare it to some of the other cars out there. look at infra's car, now thats is a pretty fast car. 600 + whp, sub 3 000lbs is no laughing matter. then compare it to sammy's car, 900+ whp in 3300 lbs, and to be honest sam still gets beat from time to time. there are some serious cars out there and you never know until it is too late.
the ram has some power but it has to over come a serious weight issue. they are nice trucks dont get me wrong, but not a good choice when it comes to speed. i would love to own a ram or a serria, as a daily, it just isnt in my budget. however tho we are starting to look for a terrian when the baby comes.
why not kevin? your car is a clean car and we can make it even cleaner if you wanted it to be.

I wanna put bolt ons on it to make it a bit faster and sound meaner but that's it. No boost.
That said, a guy hit 12.6 in his ram with bolt ons the other day.

I almost drove out to HIN in Minneapolis last year since I was already in Fargo at the dragstrip and it was only another 3 hours. Still kinda wish I would have even though it would have been to late to enter, and I didn't have the red car with me. Just ol Gray.
at sea level and most likely on e85. good luck to you it is your truck, all i would do is a intake, exhaust and maybe a tune. even then i would think about it hard.
12.6 is faster then what i can run i am sure, but i have never been beat by a ram. there is however always a first time for everything.
i am excited to go to HIN, i really enjoyed Driven when it came to town. HIN is in a way better league.

Anyone have a bolt extractor kit?? broken manifold bolt apparently..
and as Jordan said, i didnt buy the truck to go fast, i have a motorcycle for that... To say it doesnt have much power is silly, as outta the box its 400hp
