45 or so tops. and the wheels were going about 60 at some points lol.

Thats awesome! I wish we had something like that going on around here! My town is trying to set up a drag strip but the towns around it are opposing its construction. check your local scca. mine is rather big (detroit) so there is ALWAYS something going on. 4-5 races per week all summer and from oc...

How did you do? well i wasnt last place! hahah i beat the white audi a4 wagon. for my first time out i think i did good. plus those tires kinda suck for mud and stuff, but it was still a blast. i ended up doing it all in 4wd obviously since my class was stock awd. a few of the laps i used 4wd lo an...

cheap knock off used cb radio: wired it in mounted it, looked sweet, and sent out signal fine, about 1hr after use it started smoking inside my cab, ripped it out by hand (no tools) and watched it go up in flames and burn into a crisp on the ground at a rest stop. Scared the piss out of me. next ti...

BikerBoomer

has anybody modded factory sway bars with new holes to make them tighter? just curious as its along the lines of endlinks. I did this with my subie and it was loads of fun. I could force snap oversteer by putting the rear ones at there tightest and the fronts at stock. it made lots of fun awd drifti...

BikerBoomer

found a good thread of someone who actually did it, note mine is a zr5 so i think it will look sweet once its lowered

here is the thread- My slight drop is completed

BikerBoomer

ok, i have been looking for this and i just found it.

I had a few questions for you.
1. Where are the tbars
2. how hard was it to turn them out.
3. were the new rear springs easy to install?
4. do the struts hit the bump stops now at all?

Thanks in advanced.

BikerBoomer

pmed him

thanks

BikerBoomer

i know this is an odd question, but have any of you lowered your trucks? I know loads of s10 guys have, but what about crew cabs? I have heard about cranking down the torsion bars, or something like that. 1. what are those? 2. how do they work? 3. how difficult is it to do? 4. is it both front and r...

BikerBoomer

Towing went great, the car performed just like it should. The car dolly... not so good. No over heat. The truck barely felt a bit slower with the car back there. It didnt seem to bother the truck at all. The temps were around 20-25 degrees for most of the trip (outside temp) with a min of 13 saw on ...

BikerBoomer

I agree with BikerBoomer. Little to no gains seen, I don't know either what our MAF is rated for but if it is similar to the one used on v8s I wouldn't worry at all. You won't exceed it with the amount of air you can pull with a nearly stock 4.3 I do belive gm mafs are classified by there size 3'',...

BikerBoomer

only way it can flow that much more is if your engine pulls that much more, which doesnt change when you change your maf. There is no point to changing out your maf, only if you are flowing more air than it can read, like if you have a super or turbo charger, where the amount of air going into the e...

I think i found it in your sig, is this it- Westin Safari - Light Bar w/ 100watt 6" Lights?

BikerBoomer

I want that brush gaurd!!! what is it, and will it fit on a truck without a body lift? like threw the tow hook holes?

Any info on it? or pics of where it mounts? And how you wired the lights? or how they are mounted?

Thanks man! Sweet truck.

Boomer. My friends own Baker Drivetrain. They are about 10 min east of East Lansing. They are a major bike transmission builder. I am sure you have heard of them. Just an FYI. Yeah i have heard of them, but they do mostly HD stuff, and my bike is a jap Piece of crap. But when i get my HD sportser i...

BikerBoomer

I looked on the modification website, and i found the cooler install instructions, and im a little confused. What lines do you cut? are there already trans lines running up to the radiator, or what? Any better pics? ill have to look under my hood to see what was described.

BikerBoomer

Don't let the load push you around. Be cautious. If you tow lots add a brake controller and trailer brakes. Getting moving is one thing, but being able to stop is more important. I have towed many things before, boats, seadoos, trailers with motorcycles, all with different cars though, never with t...

BikerBoomer

Thanks henry, ill do that. Just curius for the reason why to keep it in 3? Trans not as strong in od? The load doesn't exceed my trailer hitch, i think, ill have to double check what class my hitch is, it came with the truck. Thanks for the fast reply btw. Im really starting to like this site. Your ...

I know you guys sometimes install transmission coolers to keep temps down. This weekend i am going to be towing a car for about 2 hrs on the freeway, its kinda cold out, so im wondering if i will be ok temp wise. Im going to be stopping ever 20 min and wait like 5 min, and then take off. The car wei...

BikerBoomer

Congrats on the ride! The 4.3 engines are about the best V-6 out there, light and allot of grunt, perfect for trucks, and last forever. The front axle/suspension setup is about the most sucky part. But if you just use it for the road, that's no problem. I bought mine new in 2001, but have used it a...

Congrats! wow, 45, thats younge to be a grandpa, (my father is 55ish and he still has no grand kids) but every family is different, i was born when my dad was 35, so its all good.

BikerBoomer

ha, i did a search for extended fuel distance and i found a cool topic about axillary gas tanks, i might be doing that, but i dont want to lose my zr5 bars, so i might have to do the one where the spare tire is, we will see.
