Haha, I hate getting the run around on stupid ****. I just decided to wait until I get home and go to Intro's actual office and put in the order in person. So much worth it

nibs · 03-17-2012, 09:31 PM

Santa came 3 months late

AND I got the chance to meet Nate Porter in person today! Kinda funny, this guy won a dropmember in a raffle and looked like he didnt know what it was at first. I looked over at him and said that Porterbuilt's stuff was great quality stuff and that I just got mine yesterday. This guy standing next to him immediately asked for my name and introduced himself... I was pretty shocked at first! Glad I could put a face to the name

noonzor · 03-18-2012, 06:14 PM

dayumn, gotta love when santa comes to town. quality pieces.

nibs · 03-18-2012, 10:02 PM

Bennett68C10 · 03-18-2012, 10:57 PM

Sweet, I'm waiting on the late Santa to drop off my porterbuilt packages

Nice, very much worth it!

nibs · 03-24-2012, 02:04 PM

Well, I tore into my engine a little bit last night! Shes kinda dirty inside, but nothin a little hot bath at the machine shop cant take care of! Need a pulley puller though to get the crank pulley off.

nibs · 03-24-2012, 02:20 PM

thanks man!

nibs · 03-27-2012, 02:00 PM

Engine is totally torn down! Ready for machine work and reassembly

nibs · 06-19-2012, 04:57 AM

Well, unfortunately I didnt get any work done during my trip home... It was really sad, but I did manage to completely remodel my kitchen, and get engaged. I think those were pretty legit reasons to not get any work done! Still pretty depressing to not see any progress

congrats dude!

Bennett68C10 · 06-19-2012, 08:15 AM

The progress will come, congrats on getting engaged. That is a legit reason to take a step back from the truck. I'm getting married in a month so I know how it is.

thor · 06-19-2012, 04:47 PM

Congrats Nibs!

nibs · 06-20-2012, 02:43 AM

I figured I would put up pics, since we all love them!

Here is the kitchen

and here is the better half

Tinkermc · 06-20-2012, 06:23 PM

congrats on engagement and the kitchen remodel and getting your 6 back home. What happened about your job?

nibs · 06-22-2012, 08:52 PM

Everything actually worked out pretty well with my incident once I got home. I was very lucky! Im back out on the road for 4 months and I should be getting another 4 back home after that. I think that will be a good chunk of time to get some work done!

nibs · 06-27-2012, 06:06 AM

*sigh... I miss working on it

nibs · 07-02-2012, 04:21 AM

So, any of you fellow LS swappers ever dealt with F.A.S.T products??? Im looking into this system. Just the ease that they advertise seems perfect, plus that intake manifold. OMG!

I have some Fast products and very happy. That picture looks like some pretty high dollar stuff!!

Agreed, FAST has quality goods.
Good to see another Gen III out there. They are a thing of beauty with so much potential.

Good to hear that they have some satisfied customers. Ive been reading alot about their stuff on LS1tech.com and the only thing that people really tend to complain about is the price. But, you get what you pay for! I was actually surprised at the actual cost of the system. Turned out to "only" be $4100... I was expecting somewhere in the $5-6K range to be honest

nibs · 09-13-2012, 04:26 PM

wow... I really had to dig deep in the archives to find this thread! Gotta bring it back alive

babyblueoval · 09-13-2012, 10:31 PM

It's ALIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!

Good to see it back.

nibs · 09-14-2012, 03:03 AM

HAHA, thanks man! I only have 31 days remaining on my deployment and she is gonna get some work done... Long time coming too. Time to get back spooled up on prepping myself.

Ive been spending alot of time just trolling around here, growing envious of Mike(67cheby) and Eric's(superflysteiny) builds. Time to change it up! LOL
