Re: Transmissions... Transmissions...

Well, when I was 18, I loved that old stroker... but now that I am getting older and wiser I'm starting to realize that my 5000lb truck will never be as fast as these new cars I was trying to keep up with.

I realized that I enjoy driving my truck a lot, and a motor that gets 8mpg on premium gasoline just isn't that fun to cruise in.

So now I'm lowering the compression and changing the cam to better suit my driving style.



I still have to race though.... I'm building a Raptor 660r drag bike bit by bit.... around here fourwheelers are about the cheapest racing thrill I can get, and a lot of fun.....
