BaBolt,
I have purchased a Lightning engine second hand, but new in the crate to install into my F150 supercab longbed truck. I plan to have mods on it right from the start. So I am taking my time and trying to do this how I want to the first time. As in I only want to buy parts the one time. I very much like the parts you have here that you are offering to Rob. (Carbon Fiber rocker covers, machined and polished plenum, black intake, polished blower etc.) I like your innovative ideas and the way you seem to do things. Are they still for sale? Or for that matter, anything you might have. I really like the “Power pipes” that SVTRobG posted on the same thread. The closest thing I see is the Razor’s Edge, but I like the fabricated aluminum much better. And I wish the Razor’s Edge was a little smoother on the inside, but a die grinder with a sandpaper cartridge roll could tune that up. I live in the Detroit area. I am just collecting pieces at this point and I have not even begun to remove the stock 5.4, so I have plenty of time to sort out the combination I want.

Thanks, Darin

Thank You, I did not know he was not an actual vendor, I thought he was maybe like a hobyist. I am relatively new to this and I had no idea how else to get in touch. Also I do not have a handle exactly who everyone is yet, like some of the more established members seem to.
Thanks again,
Darin

I have email babolt about that intalke tube three times and never got a response. I think it's just there to get a rise out of everyone. Does anyone have one?

Hey Guys don't worry about what use to be. I changed my site. Design theft and broken cotracts have helped me change my mind on what I do and will do in the future. Interesting story that I will spell out at my site.
There is one other issue that stops me from doing the hands on work and I have shared that with a few. Thanks.

Regardless of the issues involved, the one thing that stands is your work is great, well thought out, and most of all you can see the time and effort spend in them. Cheers to whatever you do in the future and the present.

That really sucks Mike. I know you did the things you have done out of a real drive to make nice stuff the way you wanted and see peoples' faces with the result. Take care and Merry Chistmas.

Dude, shoot me an email SVTGene@aol.com with an update about what we talked about last time I was at the Bun 'n Brew. I'm interested to find out what is going on. You working tomorrow at the Southfield location?
