    I filled a sand blaster with fish tank sand/ small rocks and sent that at it first.

    I think it'll be fine.

    Are you going to paint the fenders yourself? It's going to take a lot of paint to cover that black with white if you don't prime them

    My new add on this week is a methanol snow performance injection kit that cost
    475.00.
    This system has lots of positives going for it and works for me.
    It's inexpensive
    Easy to install
    It will get rid of the ping issues without having to spend 1000s for piggyback
    systems, injectors, fuel pump replacement and hours for installations
    Will add octave levels to 110
    Will cool the supercharger temps down by 100 degrees so you can add a smaller
    2" pulley without worrying about heat issues created by the extra boost to the nose seal or the supercharger
    Will clean the carbon from the top part of the engine

    Engine runs the best it has ever run now

    Should have done this along time ago
    If you have a supercharger even if u have the 7th injection setup I would highly recommend it.
    Now my torque at the REAR WHEEL is almost instantaneous 265 ft pounds at 2000rpm :)) and running a perfect AIR FUEL RATIO. now all the way across the rpm range

    Changed my rear differential fluid today. It was nasty! Got to love doing service on a vehicle with no proir knowledge of service history. Gonna do my front diff and transfer case later this week. My only question would be: would changing diff fluid make it accelerate smoother and faster? Definitely could be a mind thing lol

    No URD kit, No new fuel pump, no bigger injectors, no piggyback, No 7th injection.
    bought a snow performance kit, progressive for 475.00, had them tune the kit on the dyno,,nozzle size, and the spray timing at 4 pounds progressive up. Have a green light on my boost guage that shows when it's spraying 4 pounds of boost and up and a light for the low meth level. Now I have a perfect AFR all the way
    across the rpm range and can't make it ping even if I try.

    Here's hoping that the poor guy doesn't get flamed, and instead gets some quality knowledge dropped on him.

    At some point we all knew literally nothing about this shit.
