30pk Coors Light + masking tape + OD spray paint = Redneck Flames!!

Crappy pics

I need to get the rig off of the jackstands and pull it out, hose it off and take better pics

They look ok from 10ft away but as you get closer they are a bit sloppy. That is the beauty of rattle can paint..easy to cover up if I don't like it!

looks faster already

Actually......

"If 1 hp represents the production of 33,000 ft-lb of mechanical energy per minute, horsepower equals ft-lb/minute divided by 33,000, the distance in feet the weight that it is to be moved and the force in pounds required to move the weight and the time in minutes required to move the weight through distance...."(1)

You've lost hp by adding weight, not only the paint but the weight in beer.

Ahh man you popped my balloon and stole my ice cream!!

**Yukon Jack** · 05-19-2010, 12:16 PM

I'd be more interested in knowing what kind of torque it adds!

elks · 05-19-2010, 12:59 PM

I might suggest adding some homer simpson speed holes as well... It definitely appears that you will get a significant amount performance increase.

Critter · 05-19-2010, 02:12 PM

According to all the ricers around in my area, painting their ground effects with a spraycan (after leaving them primered for 8 months of course) adds about 40hp! So I would think you are in that ballpark.

Would his rack and peanut stearing help?

I am envisioning a rack of lamb or ribs while driving!!! That always helps....

Burt4x4 · 05-19-2010, 05:36 PM

LOL

72gmcshorty · 05-19-2010, 06:35 PM

i was told "one million" but i'm not too sure...i think the flames need to be red to reach that mark

Bentblazer · 05-19-2010, 07:05 PM

Is that regular hp or redneck hp there is a big difference! Add some power adders like a gun rack, rifle, lasso to get peak preformance, IMO

Cap'n Hook · 05-19-2010, 07:11 PM

Flames are an automatic 50 hp/50 ftlbs in my booK!

chevyblazer · 05-21-2010, 03:28 AM

a lot with a few beers in you like 100 hp

Burt4x4 · 05-21-2010, 08:31 AM

Here come the numbers

ok so if I meet you'all in the middle I get 75hp/75tq

BLUE THUNDER · 05-23-2010, 09:17 PM

That's what I thought too. Easily 75/75.

Burt4x4 · 05-24-2010, 09:53 AM

All back togeather and ready for Pismo this weekend!

RckyMntnKng · 05-24-2010, 11:28 AM

Pretty sweet flames there....love that rig. Mine of course is modeled alot after yours. You cant beat spray paint for cost, and ease of changing your mind as many times as you want!

Burt4x4 · 05-24-2010, 11:58 AM

Cool man! Thanks!
I will try real hard to take pics @ Pismo. I am terriable at taking pics and allways regret it after the trip is over....

RckyMntnKng · 05-24-2010, 12:29 PM

All of us here will also regret it, we want to see pics! What else are we gonna do all day at work?
