Haven't posted lately. Just got the wheels and rear QA1 shocks on along with the center console swap (Best money spent, lol). This weekend I will be doing Caltracs and hopefully, if the parts come in, the L86 Manifold swap with a LT1 ported TB.

They hit on our trucks. I have ground the head of the banjo bolt down some, but haven't verified clearance with just that as I have a 1/4" spacer on the rears right now and that gives you clearance. I will have it up on the lift this weekend and will check fitment without the spacers and let you know if there are any other mods needed. I'll be converting to small rear brakes some point this summer is my guess to run a 15" rear.

Yah I'm scared to do that. So I was going to order 20s all around. I'd love 17 rear but if I can't then oh well

4/7 drop on a 4wd

How did you achieve your drop up front on your 4wd? Steel or Aluminum control arms?

He did struts and Springs he has a lot of camber though.

 

Spindle and strut would be best like what I have. I'm 2wd but same thing

It's a strut and spring combination, but like Brandon said I have just under a full degree of negative camber. Seems as though the spindle is a better route to go, I was just curious as to if my setup would work...And it does

 

steel arms

This is SICK!

 

Can you share any info on the turbo setup? Size, what's involved, kit, did a shop do the work for you?

Man, there are some truly inspirational RCSBs on this thread. Very impressive, gentlemen!

 

Here's my RCSB - just a 2" level and some cosmetic mods... for now:

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me. 
    • $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
