    Yep. A result of small headers with boost causing excess cylinder pressure and too hot of intake air temps from sucking hot air off the headers causing pinging. A new exhaust, rerouting the supercharger pipe into the fender, and meth injection should fix me up. Getting new studs too, I think mine had stretched last time I did the gaskets and that probably contributed as well. Hopefully I'll have all this done by new years lol.

    I drove mine to the store really carefully (suspended license) after It has been sitting for 2 months with black widow spiders taking over the underneath of it. Was a 1 mile drive there and 1 mile back... The spiders are still living underneath im sure.....

    SLOW! Hot Saturday, and humid (46%) Sunday
    Saturday was a best of ~1250 DA when normally it's closer to negative. My truck hates the humidity too.

    Best pass Saturday 12.44, best Sunday was a fucking 12.384@107.xx!!! Not even an 83! tied my best with a slower mph. I tried leaving at 2k RPM's as opposed to 1250, my worst 60' of both days (1.93). That was the 12.384 pass and it spun a little but picked up big up top.

    I need to T-n-T w/my gopro and practice my launch RPM's VS tire pressure and shock settings. Maybe at Duners secret launch methods

    I thought about upgrading studs but thought it would ruin center cap figment.

    THIS is why you should just primer your entire truck! lol. I have a buddy who sprayed bed liner over his whole jeep, actually looked pretty decent as the texture hides a lot of the dents etc. lol.

    Default Gave my R/T a J-O-B!

    Picked up a new rebuilt engine for my boat! It's an old 70's GM straight 6, 165HP 250ci. Its a fully dressed marine engine but built off of a 68 pickup truck block.




    Hopefully I'll have myself a nice boat for next season if all goes well

    Lug nuts and centercaps didn't show today, but I still got the studs pressed in. I had to use my 20T press as my table vice got laughed at.
