The foot is good... i broke my plasty (i think i got that correct) off after wearing it for 3 days... itching got to me... but i try to use my crotches as much as possible...

everyone tells me i'm crazy doing all that stuff with my foot f*cked up like that.. but yes, this has been pretty intense... and to think that it has all happened in less than three weeks makes me shiver

i'm itching to try out the twins

Well, youre a young buck. You'll heal up ok. Just dont get too crazy on it b/c you'll regret it in your later years. Im there now. I bought stock in Ben Gay. Whats your time frame in getting this thing finished?

What i have to do to use it this winter is the following;

- Trim down the one piece driveshaft i had made for the 2500, to make it fit the shorter truck (using the yoke off the Dana 60 shaft)
- Set timing on my p-pump, i plan on running 20°
- Install my Raptor 150
- Install a new water pump and connect the cooling system
- Fabricate the plumbing for the turbos and intercooler pipes all the way from the turbos to the intake plenum
- Replace all fluids on the differentials, transfer case, gearbox, motor..
- Pray to god that my D60 (or is it a Chrysler 9,25"?) and D44 axles hold it out through the winter..

What i need to do for next summer / quartermile season:

- Replace both axles, install my D80 rear and my D70 front
- Replace front and rear suspension, with shackles and shackle holders, this is a PITA although i will most likely replace the front coils soon as it's sagging
- Install N2O or Water-Meth.. probably N2O though
- Get a better clutch, probably a street dual disk...

The before winter hits To-Do list is due to be finished next week

Thank you sir, i think it's special...

It makes the truck.... MY TRUCK...

Not sure how i should put this otherwise

But yes, i'm going to be busy... hope the doctor says my foot is better on wednesday so i can use my left foot on the clutch of the truck

I also forgot to put on the list that i have to move the pedal set and hydraulics for the clutch from the 2500 to the 1500

That's a sick orange/yellow color. I'm hoping to pick up a bigger turbo in the coming months, and after seeing that bottom turbo painted.... I gotta do mine red like my motor. Hate to copy somebody else, but that just looks sick!

I'm hoping it will be up and running in the next 4-5 days
