    I have 5.29s in the diffs and a crawl box in the works but I need a little more rpm to work with lol. When I light em up, I need them to be spinning. I drive like I build, very methodical, but once I commit I need to know the red line won't be the first thing I hit.

    Toyota's are the most pissed off at redline. Anything less would be uncivilized.

    It's the best.

    My neighbors give me shit for it. I tell them it's the song of my people but they just don't get it. Facebook has ruined them all.

    All right, for ease of installation and from what I've learned, S/C is on order. If i have to up the compression to make it run better, then I'll cross that path when I get there. We'll do the 7th injection, under drive, fuel mods, and some tuning to start.

    I wouldn't bother with an underdrive pulley. You can just run a smaller nose pulley on the s/c and you'll top out the s/c capabilities without affecting the rest of your accessories.

    I've been told that the Smaller nose pulley likes to eat belts, but a bigger crank pulley might solve that issue and I could just re-machine the other pulleys to get them back to stock ratios.

    Can't say I agree. Buy a quality nose pulley and you wont' have problems. I've been using the URD 2.2 for well over 3 years. I've changed the belt once, just because I had the engine apart, and still have it as a spare in my truck toolbox.

    Nice. and I'm not sure my other source was the easiest on his motor, but it ran good and he's pretty knowledgeable so we'll see what experiences I end up with.

    Spent most of the weekend working on a friends Mazda so my lower arms will be delayed until tomorrow/Tuesday. Headed to Flagstaff this upcoming weekend so I have to get them done in time bolt them on before that. I did however have time to install my vision-X rock lights. A bit more bling than I need with all the controls, but they serve their purpose and they're cheaper than anything rigid makes.

    This is another LT Control Arm, with some changes to the first one. The first set had some weird issues that I thought might be caused by the uni-ball I put out where the lower ball joint should be so I did this set with the traditional adapter for the stock lower ball joint. I also made 2-3 other changes. Unfortunately the problem is fixed, so I'm going to have to make another arm with the uni-bal on the lower ball joint again so I can see which one of the changes actually fixed the issue.

    New Arm with normal ball joint adapter
