It is a sad week - This friday I am having my truck transported up to Sacramento to HCI Motorsports so that they can begin prepping my truck for my new supercharger and stroker engine (354 c.i) from Sal - Unfortunately, my truck will be out of commission for at least 6 weeks (What will I do?? ). Some of the other things being done include;

Replace all stock hoses with steel braided hose
C-notch frame
Line lock
Redo all NX express wiring & add install 2nd bottle with remote bottle opener
Center Console
Install PSP Fast Air

Can't wait until the end of October

 

Sweet ! Surely there is a friendly bolt owner around to let you get a "fix" <lol>

 

I'll give you a ride in mine, Dave. But, it's nowhere near what your truck is.

With your Lightning gone, maybe your wife will benefit from some (more) go-fast goodies on her Expy?

Take care,

-Kris

 

(for sig description)

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you say possible 10's?!?!?!?!?!

I'd give up 6 weeks............hell, 6 months, if I knew I was gonna get back a monster like that!!

I'd rather that, than dropping it off for a day to replace fog lights

Kris-

LOL... How are you doing. Once I get my truck back you must stop by and I will let you take it for a drive. No more goodies for the Expedition - the wife wants an Escalade.

JC-

I guess that you are right, however, it pretty much sucks having to drive my POS 91 mustang. I will be happy with low 11's once my truck is back...


Dave

 

D-
By far one of the nicest sigs around.Show and Go,GO,GO.....

VINNIE

 

I think low 11s will be an understatement Dave. Your truck will be faster than mine .

 

Dave,
I assume you are talking with cole over at HCI. I was there last friday to pick up my truck and he told me that you had called in. HCI is a great place and they did an excellent job on my truck(I was the first gen 2 lightning they did major work on). Im sure you will be happy with them. When you go to their shop, ask cole to show you the 1200hp 5.4, its insane....

Anyway, good luck and keep us updated.

 

I'll bet the time will fly by knowing you have that bad boy on the way..........Sweet dreams

 

Joe-

You are correct - I have been talking to Cole (Really nice guy) at HCI. I am glad that you finally got your truck back It has been a really long time.... Unfortunately I am not ever planning on going to their shop due to the distance - I am having my truck towed both ways....


Later,

Dave

 

Dayaaaam. What a sig. Jealous.

 

WOW.....wet dreams for sure . San Jose to Sac-town is to far It's only 120-130 miles. I'd be taking long lunches to go check in on my investment . Good Luck with the project.

 

That truck ought to be awesome. I have been waiting for 10 months on my truck and she will finally be together the first of next week.

I don't like it for a sig because it takes up to much space. Here is what I also plan on doing shortly in the future:

Whipple 140 at 22-24# w/ 50 shot

Good luck to you. Hope you don't run into the same problems I have had.

 

Hopefully I'll have mine running again by first part of next month with a bigger supercharger...

 

Sounds sweet!!

I just want this winter to come so I can get my bonus and put my new setup in my truck.
