    Just kidding. 1.87 again. It would seem that they are consumables. The last one wore out after 3 years....

    Does it start? When are we going to hear the sweet sweet noise?? Did you consider painting the TRD letters red? That would really pop too

    I can't leave anything well enough alone

    Any thoughts on the main drive belt tensioner pulley (not supercharger belt)? Can you get a good quality replacement pulley by itself? If not, which bearing would you trust more, NSK or FAG?

    Definitely FAG only because of I think the name it is funny (but it actually is the superior bearing, at least was as far as OEM quality goes).

    That's what my calculations say as well - but I'm betting the faster it goes, the more it slips. So it's never going to actually get to 21550.

    I could not recall did you end up buying a new connector for it? I was going to toss it in a couple weeks ago and the plug was shit. I recall folks saying I would need a new one but couldn't find it. (if its on page one then........ yah..)

    Nice I have been seriously considering something under 21. I think my current ones are 25 or 27. figure with the BBK and 2 Piece rotors up front combined should be a lot. Means I can get heavier tires right hahaha but seriously I have those on my list.

    looks good. I let a set of cams slip by me a while ago. That would have been super cool to add. I still need to add my front HPS radiator hoses but got the stubborn rear heater ones on.

    TAking the truck on a long drive over the weekend and will get to test out the fuel of the RIPP coils and Ruths. So far its drives really smooth. Everyone that's commented on that I agree. Slight increase in but dyno but the trucks a pig so hard to tell but its scoots as well as it can.

    Yeah he has the option, I think the first time I ordered one he actually asked first. So he knows what's up.

    Yeah would highly recommend his setup!
