Deep freezer.broke, thankfully didn't lose anything. Got some laminate floors installed at a friends house and now we are looking at our dogs room for laminate. Sold a set of tires so more room in the garage.

I know I'm guilty of it, but where did everyone go? Or is it just that time of year everyone stays off the computer and keeps busy outside?

At the bottom of the screen on your phone there's a hyperlink you can click that says...View Full Site......

So far this weekend (starting on Wednesday cause my weekend this week goes from Wednesday to today):

Slotted rotors on the Mustang

Assembled the Subaru (actually Jack did that, but I helped.

)

Put a DCC decoder in a locomotive and then took it back out because it didn't work right

Played trains with my grandson.

I also got the septic tank cleaned out and am having the roof re-shingled, but I hired those jobs done.

I might have to take a nap later...

So it's getting time to start some power mods. Thinking of doing GT350 intake manifold and tune. Opinions, suggestions?

looks like 56HP gain at 7500RPMs.....I guess it depends on if you will be able to take advantage of the power gains at such a high RPM..Sounds like it's the same gains as a Boss Intake on an S197. I'm guessing saving for FI is out of the question....

Yeah looking at staying N/A for now. I think it gains more up top than the Boss and no low end loss. I enjoyed the Boss on my 13, so figure this would be better.

During DD I won't be hitting the high rpms but drag racing should be more fun this fall.

Right on....Guess it would be a good start if you plan on a Turbo or Centri Blower down the road..

Greetings all. It's been a while....

Detailed the truck, clay, compound, polish and wax. Quite a job but she looks good.

Installed a K&N air intake on the truck.

Bought a set of 2015 new take off wheel/tires for the truck. The old tires were six years old and starting to crack on the sidewalls pretty badly.
