Talking Suavy Rides Again!

Suavy Rides Again!

Well Lightning Brothers & Sisters the truck is back up and running again thanks to Roland at Car Quest who worked out a deal with his vendors to cover the rebuild.

Also a big thanks goes out to Jim & Julie at JDM who supplied new pistons and cams!

Also I would like to thank everyone on this board and Lightningrodder.com who helped with tech info, moral support, and financial aid. It is people like you all that have kept me going and did not allow me to give up!

Further, my truck has some up grades to the heads that allow me to run the stage 3 crower cams I bought through JDM. I believe it is these up grades to the heads that will help solve the MP spring issue. Basically the spring seat pressure is set at 119 lb as specified by Crower them self.

I will be posting the latest pic's of the truck and the motor in a day or two.

I pray I can still get in some racing to prove my new set up, and plan to make it to lightning fest.
However, I have a few bills to pay first (JDM)

God Bless,

Suavy

Glad to see you back in the driver's seat, hope your new setup works as well as you hope. I always see you on here posting and helping others(myself included) so now is the time to be a little greedy and put some miles on her, not in front of the computer.

Thanks thumper, I will take your advice on that!

It is not in my nature to be greedy! I have guy's in my area that I help out and they help me out also. Heck wydopntrol (Rich) is coming 100 miles just to data log my truck! That's true brother hood! He even came in the dead of winter to help me put my engine in the first time 05 it was like January.

Let me know if I can help with any thing

God Bless,

Jeronimo

You know it's a funny thing about that financial aid stuff these guy's did it for me with out me asking!

I am having a tribute to everyone who helped out with financial aid and sponsorship made up and will displayed on my truck this coming season.

It's vedors like JDM, JLP, PSP, Factory Tech, and last but not least Billet Speed Performance who make this sport great!

Peace,

Suavy

WOO HOO + @ Jeronimo

Great news indeed Bro, Best of Luck and GO GET UM.....
119lbs spring seat pressure ought to do it, woo hoo
That Mag will rock through a good set of Heads, Cams, and Springs,
When the tool becomes available I will most likely be doing BOTH Springs and Cams myself.

NOW WHERE'S THE DAM PICTURES OF THE VOYAGE SMOKEY ????
