    Anyone know if you can run two step colder spark plugs without a supercharger for short term (week or two)? I need to rebuild the nose cone and possible entire sc and might go back to stock so I can work on the rebuild slowly.

    You can...you're gas mileage is going to suck balls though and lose power.
    Why would you not put stock plugs back in. With no intake manifold on the truck it will take 10 minutes to swap.

    Before I put this in the BST section, was wondering if anyone local wants to buy these.

    The bottom is scratched a little, but nothing is bent at all. You guys know, these things are pure beef. I don't have the hardware, so you'll have to get some on your own.

    Gotcha, yeah I just figured if it didn't hurt anything I wouldn't waste the time but will just pull them. Thanks a lot Jason.


    Onto my next problem. I went to remove my front spidertrax and it's stuck to the studs/rotor. I've tried hitting it with a hammer (with a towel to avoid damage) prying it off and no luck. I think the gel locktite I used is keeping it on. Any suggestions?

    Hey Kevin on El Caminos is this place, never been in, but looks perfect for what you need. RV/trailer aluminum fab/repair. It's on El Camino just off Business 80. Right next to Allied Trailer Supply.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up having to scrape some of the locktite out of the hole and then took a putty knife and hammered it between the spacer and rotor. Was a PITA, but they are off and now I have my .75" spacers on. Hopefully that will cure some of the rubbing I was having and it brought my tires a bit in under the flares more.

    When I got new rims Americas tire, they had a hell of a time getting mine off.They came to me and said we might have to replace your studs as we cant break the lug nuts loose on your spacers. i walked out and pointed to the lock tight and said hit them with a Impack Gun and then a hammer and break loose its lock tight and only a few weeks old.They were worried that it would strip the threads.But he did It with me stranding there and they came off no problem.sometimes you just need a little tap of a BFH.LOL

    Funny. I have that amp rack. It's been sitting in my garage since I came across it. :p

    Anyways... This is what happens when you get a wild hair up your ass and have a giant shelf made from MDF that you have no use for anymore.
