The instructions seem to be a bit behind mostly because generations aside, I think as Joe fine tunes his design he makes incremental changes. The small mismatches between the instructions and the...

I had a set of 17x9 FR-500 replica rims narrowed to 17x4.5. I was originally planning on running the Hoosiers because they would look better with my 28" Hoosier drag slicks and felt the adiitional rollout would help me...

love my RAI but hate sucking underhood air. i have played with numerous CAI/RAI kits and have never found one with an air box that was worth a damn. got a wild hair over the weekend and prototyped an air box which seals to the hood. just a bit of 22 gage steel, some bending, drilling...
i've followed a few threads now on how our alternators tend to be overdriven even from the factory - or at least are spun faster than they need to be. I run a 2.93 upper w/4 # lower and a BF idler pulley kit (aux idler with 3x100 mm and 1x92 mm idlers) on my ported eaton and just changed out my...
