    Seattle area ATS turbo: Free

Plus there is no guarantee that I will be home in my personal vehicle instead of my company truck, so I can't guarantee that I'll be able to leave the house anyway. (Safeway grocery delivery...

    IDI's have reinvented nickel and dime

    When I still had my truck my girlfriend complained about the cost of repairing it. When I bought a new starter for it she told me to buy a new truck. I ran a quick spreadsheet with the cost of a new truck, insurance, and started adding in repairs after 5 years. I compared that to the old truck...

    6.9, 7.3 N/A, or 7.3 IDIT long block for hi-po build

    For port/valvetrain/cam work you may consider contacting Bo at www.bo-port.com he has worked with the Ford 2.3T crowd for some time and may consider working with you IDI guys on a project like this. I suggest him because the IDI has a fairly small following like the 2.3 does yet he was still...

    Dyno run

    Generally a Mustang dyno will give lower numbers than a Dynojet. They also do a better job of keeping the engine loaded during the run too.

    Diesel JD: looks like I'll be ding the long haul thing starting sometime next week, I'll know by Thursday morning. If so I'll get years of use out of these plugs unless the controller fries them.

    Moved to Colorado, now I have starting problems

    Hey, the new GP's worked like a charm. no tips broke o or anything and I was able to do it without creating any fuel leaks. It could really use a turbo way up here. Probably wouldn't have to mess with the fuel much! I can sure lay a cloud of black smoke if I want. Now I just gotta find myself...
