  1. I changed the engine oil and the blower oil.. The race ramps make it easy..
  2. Personally, I'd lean more towards a 6.5 CM or others.. IMO, it's all what is in the safe as I already have MOA and sub-MOA rifles in .308 and 7.62x51.
  3. It is never wise to drop what sells.. I've owned 3 white vehicles.. They look decent until the first pass of the sponge shows how dirty they really were.. All I can say is a white vehicle is quite different than a white shirt..
  4. I had great luck with an Ariens also.. When I lived in MD, I had 2+ acres to mow and bought what would be an old Murray with a huge cut. After we added landscaping, the Murray required circling and circling.. I know, buy a zero turn, but they didn't exist back then.. I sold it and bought an Ariens which shortened the time it took and considerably.. When I moved to Michigan, I was mowing 6 acres and it handled that easily.. When I moved to NC, I had Bermuda grass and the neighbor who did landscaping said the Ariens would never handle it. The problem wasm't handling the mowing; it was the Bermuda grass filled the two grass catches quickly.. When I moved to western NC, he bought the Ariens from me and still has it... A prime thing for the OP to consider is the dealer you buy from as some offer great service and others not so great. Or they are great but have a huge backlog and the grass doesn't stop growing. LOL
  5. Your Bud's car is wicked or as they say in Texas it's sick.. Other than it's a compliment, beats me what sick means. Although I see the header wrap; how are the boots on his wires holding up? I have sleeves on Sassy's boots at the head. What injectors is he running? Sassy is running calibrated injectors. We are at the cabin so I don't have the build sheet here, but they are over 70#. Do the headers have wide band bungs for tuning? No emissions test here, so I didn't need the heated sensors.. All my hobbies have torque or recoil.. No offense to anyone as we all have what we enjoy; anyhow.. If it rolls, floats, flies or shoots, runs on gasoline or gunpowder, goes fast, shoots a big bullet, and makes lots of noise, thus producing torque and recoil, it's cool. But if it's a ball, made out of leather or inflated with air, that's hit with a bat, racquet, or club, used in a game played on a course, green, or court by yuppies, Democrats, or liberals - forget it. Again, no offense intended..
  6. Sassy is quick and could be quicker. But as she sits, quite a beast. She'd be quicker except I like to row.. Feeling the front wheels get light and wiggly in second from a roll is a rush.. Old picture, there's a Nick Williams throttle body and a FAST manifold there now. Sassy is a WIP or work in progress.. Haven't had her back for another pull at Tick, but I reckon she makes more. I enjoy building them. I'm retired after 45 years in engine, transmission and differential design engineering. My last 11 years were in forced induction.
  7. Try meth/water injection. However, I don't know what it will do to a warranty. Basically, Sassy but classy, as the wife named her is a high 9 second car. LS1, A&A blower, AFR cylinder heads, blower cam, Lingenfelter fuel pump, Boost-a-pump etc. Viper shafts etc in the transmission.. At the strip, no cage, so I dial her in, then let fly.. Ooops I'm sorry and it won't happened again. Considering dropping the blower drive pulley diameter and adding more at the tires..
  8. I changed the engine oil and the A&A blower oil, new plugs and air filter..
  9. Everyone's opinion and brand name loyalty may vary; however, I've found it wisest to go with the best service in your area.
  10. With factory built AR-10s. I've enjoyed very positive results with Barnes and Daniel Defense. They come complete with Giselle or Hyper-fire FCG, Magpul furniture etc.. Expensive yes, but when all things included are considered, not too bad as compared to buying an upgrade FCG, furniture etc. Accuracy in my 5,56/.223 Wylde chamber, 6,8 SPCII or 7.62/.308s from are sub-MOA with quality commercial or reloaded ammo. I'm an accuracy addict; not MOA of deer shooter.
