    lol I just skimmed back until I saw stuff I recognized. Got lucky I guess. Not gonna lie, I surprised myself a bit :p

    The standard is an easy bolt-on, think you'll only need a 17mm socket and a breaker bar. Torque wrench optional; I tightened to 2 solid grunts and used red loctite :D

    Electric motors are great, but they aren't the same. Just not as fun in my opinion.

    I absolutely agree with this. Theres something special about a rumbling v8 versus a silent electric motor that just makes them more fun to drive. Hopefully naturally aspirated motors dont get phased out, but the way technology is going, its not looking good for them 50-75 years down the road

    Tweaking and tuning and getting an engine to run just right is an art. Replacing batteries and electric motors is not. The NHRA needs to ban electric vehicles if they're going to ban the Demon. On that note: I'm actually a bit disappointed to hear they banned the Demon.

    And I will register my vehicle as such and save mountains of money on insurance :D

    Edit: what is it? 25 years? I've only got 20 to go!

    Thanks Mark, cars and coffee sounds good. Hope I can make it out and meet some of y'all. I'll post up a pic or two of my truck as soon as I get a decent shot. Just got a new phone and don't really have any saved anywhere. Appreciate the warm welcome.

    If you guys or anyone you know needs a new hood, front bumper with crash bar, or rear bumper with tow package I know a guy that would like to get rid of said items.

    Well, the annual light the bed up is in place for this season. Now I can spread the holiday cheer all around town. Or .. at least between the station and home since I'm not out and about much. The pics never look as good but oh well.
