That little string isn't going to work Grip. You need a belt on there.
























Bling anyone?

i was thinking the same thing. I know they teach you how to tie some strong knots in the navy but i dont think that one will hold


PUT A BELT ON IT AND START IT.

yes sir, the only thing was i suggest leaving the bearing in the housing i tried pressing it out and ended up cracking the housing on one side, i got a replacement from a local shop so it wasnt a big deal but id you mask it off you should be fine. i had a local place do it for me they said it took a while but came out sweet.

slight change, looks like the carbon valve covers may be out, not 100% sure yet, but I may be running stockers for a while, kinda bums me out because I had plans for them.

Maybe I'll revisit the Abear setup......

thanks for the heads up bro

OH BTW, I checked into those Dougs cutouts you are running, MAN! those things are spendy! LOL, loved the way your truck sounded at the Carlsbad meet, very impressive!
