Sport truck mag. tech article (new pics)
Hey guys and gals,
First off everything is still in the works but it is looking good.
So im sure everyone here has seen the "Free dyno time" thread.
Well I was one of many that sent an email about installing electric fans and getting some dyno time before and after. I sent the email on Friday but honestly didnt think i would hear back from him so went ahead with the install on Saturday.
Well Monday I get an email from Mike (sport truck guy) saying he is intrested in the install and wants to set something up. I then tell him im inpatient and went ahead with the install.
I thought that would be the end to it but, I got an emeil back asking if I took pics and stuff and he also asks what I plan on next. I tell him a truck plate nitous kit and that peaked his intrest him thinking old carb plate and me telling him a little about it and showing him a link.
After several more emails we exchange phone numbers and talk breifly in person he lets me know he wants to do a tech article on the install of kit and before/after dyno pulls.
So my plan was to purchase a kit on my own and Mike would handle the install and dyno pulls. Well i got to thinking and decided to contact the company that makes the kit and a shop that i am confident in with the install to see if they would like to be a part of the article.
To my surprise both the shop and N20 company said they would like to be a part of it as long as it is legite and on the up and up so I had Mike get in contact with them to show im not some idiot trying to get a free kit
So as I sit all parties have been contacted and agreeded to contribute all neccessary parts peices and time. Like I said it still in the works but look like a for sure thing.
As far as whats being installed im not sure if i can say, not that its some crazy secret but im just not sure if i can reveal everything, i wouldnt want to open my mouth and jeapordize the project. I can tell you that it is a sponsor here.
Anyways ill try and keep you guys posted on the install and the magizine article.

A little update
Everything is a go the only problem now is my truck about three weeks ago i got side swipped on the freeway so when it gets all fixed up the install should begin hopefully within the next few weeks.
