Here's mine friend Eaton, hope he helps move this sled forward. =P

I have heard nothing but good things about the Truetrac, both from street/strip to off-road use. I have been eyeballing those for a while (long wish list).

Carlrx7 · 05-28-2010, 01:25 PM

are you going to any of the car gatherings this weekend? id like to check out the truck!

Foose04 · 05-29-2010, 12:45 PM

Hey Carl, yeah I'll prolly head out the K-mart meet area tonight. I'm feeling a little froggy though, might dyno today some where. Trucks running pretty good right now at 11psi, 11.8's a/f, 15.5/ timing... I don't really want to drive aroud beating on her much higher, but I wouldn't mind doing a couple pulls on rollers around 15psi and 17-18timing.

Cops are gonna be out. I wouldn't do anything stupid

LXtasy · 05-29-2010, 12:50 PM

I might have to ride out there tonight and check out your truck. I have been eyeing the truetrac also. Is it fairly easy to install or should I get a professional to do it?

Foose04 · 05-29-2010, 02:55 PM

To be honest I wimped out on putting the Truetrac in myself. I really don't want to have another weekend like last weekend where my drivetrain detonates on the damn highway. I talked to JP Williams from LSX tuning and he recommended a guy, Gerald. (843-509-3838) He's a local guy, gave him a call and seems to have installed a lot of these things. He's putting mine in next tuesday, costing me $300 but I've heard that's about right.

LXtasy · 05-29-2010, 03:32 PM

Yea, I know Gerald lol. He is GEARMESH on this board.

Carlrx7 · 05-29-2010, 05:13 PM

i wonder how much he would charge to slip in some 3.90's in the vette?

LXtasy · 05-29-2010, 05:29 PM

I am sure since its a vette that gerald will be up on par with everything else offered for that car and be around 30 times higher :thumbsup:

red99pony · 05-29-2010, 06:19 PM

gerald does great work. i have talked to many others that he has done work for and have not found 1 complaint. real nice guy to talk to also. i'm going to let him do my rear gears real soon.

Foose04 · 05-30-2010, 01:28 AM

Foose04 · 05-30-2010, 11:20 AM

Foose04 · 05-31-2010, 12:06 AM

It was fun. E85 stinks though. We couldnt find any cars to play with the Durty so Zac asked Rob if he wanted to.

toslow · 05-31-2010, 03:19 PM

E85 is smells great compared to a rich ass pump gas tune thats for sure.
Im pretty use to it. So are there vids anywhere.

So I bet the duramax won't go from a 100 roll lol
