Nevermind, they are at PRI till the 15th. This bitch will never run again.

Then that george guy is gonna scale his truck and it'll be like 3769 ready to go down the track and I'm setting my **** on fire.

This has been the most unproductive last 3 months the truck has ever had....and I'm not even stuck in motor prison.

Well damn, at least use good fuel when you decide to throw a match on it. Make sure the insurance is paid up

There isn't an insurance policy on the planet that would help this thing.

Finally read through the whole thread. This thing is amazing! What was the final tq/hp before you tore it down to run meth? Also, have you done anything in the last week?

Thanks for reading. I never dyno'd the thing with the blower on it so I really don't have any clue as to how much power it ever made. Probably a little over a grand.......idk.

This past week I haven't done much. I was working on another project that took 3 days to **** with (trying to find material and experimenting with some **** I don't know that well)......and in the end......the whole thing went in the trash.

I don't want to whine like a bitch.......but my industry has burned me (and a lot of others) 2 years in a row now in December. I'm not working right now..........and I always get freaked out when I don't have a steady income. I like roll up in a ball and won't even let a penny squeek out. lol

I do make some side money (misc things) to keep the lights on but that is about it right now.

That Is always the tough part of being in the industry. Hopefully it picks up after the new year. As long as the wife and kid are warm with a roof over their heads!
