im suprised this is actually one of the last forums that i am just getting around to joining. anyways i blew up my stock block on halloween night up here in chicago and my truck is at JLP right now getting a new block. i cant wait to get it back. i hate depending on others to get me around... anyways, just saying HEY.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome to the board. Sorry about the blown engine. Sounded like it was a good excuse to get a built motor??? Going with JLP was a good idea. Got any details on the built block?

 

havent talked much with sue or johnny.... they just started on my truck this morning and said i would get a call by wednesday to tell me how it looks on the inside. so far im pretty sure im getting stage 2 cams and ported heads thrown into the mix with the built block. i wish i had an extra 3K for the KB but im just going to get the eaton ported. figured i should get all the internals done while the engine is pulled, instead of throwing on a KB without cams and ported heads.

 

howdy stranger... i cant wait to get the new setup and race with the old crowd again.

 

Welcome!

I think you made a good choice with the ported eaton. After all,

you have the engine apart, so might as well do everything that

you can there. Then slap a KB on later. But you might find out you

don't need it!

 

anyone know why my pic for my sig might not be showing up??


heres the pic im trying to get up... i had to mess with this post like 4 times to get it to show up, some [url] kept coming up by its self.

 

Welcome to the family!

 

Welcome ! Better luck with the new block.

 

welcome to the best site, hehe.

 

im still having trouble getting my sig to work.. im trying another pic but it dont seem to want to work either...

 

nevermind, i figured it out!!

 

How did you blow it up? The only reason I ask is I also put down 404/508 and run consistant 12.7s @ 107 with a best of 12.65 @ 109 with a 1.88 60ft. Mine is an 03 also....SCARY stuff...

P.S Welcome

 

well to start it off i dont think that i had a very good tune on it. i had it tuned on a dyno in virginia when it was warm out. well its a bit colder up in chicago and i was running it pretty hard on the higway cause people were messing with me the whole ride from michigan to north chi-town. anyways i was getting on it and when it shifted from 3rd-4th is when it blew. i had a 6# lower on it at the time. so cold air, not good tuning, 6# lower and getting on it pretty hard is what did it im sure. JL is calling me tomorrow to tell me how it looks on the inside.

 

Welcome Bro!
