The replacement lug-nut vendor, sent only 15 of the 32 lug-nuts needed. Those sent, were the wrong items.

It does really suck when wheels fall off.

Just saying, don't be me.

I drove on one of those "maypop" variety tires for a while once. I'm pretty sure I showed Pete at sop last year

It's phacking amazing that this time, the lug-nut vendor sent a bag marked "32 pcs" that actuality had the correct item . . . . . . but only 24 pcs. :grrr:

I suppose I'm tempting fate posting this . . . . .

The lug-nut vendor is suppose to deliver the other eight lug-nuts tomorrow. :roll:


I like to think this will go a long way in improving the launch traction issue at the track. They certainly ride better on the highway.

Next: I've got the parts and proper tools to renew the complete Power-Lok differential including ring & pinion gears under the kitchen table. The wife's about ready for them to be gone.

Looks pretty good after that slight adjustment period. That offset is perfect. I haven't really liked how far mine stick into the wheel wells for a while now. I have my eye on a set of 16x10 racelines in a -24 that will look really good with the 315/75r16's I want. I think they should also work with some of the big drag slicks on the market

So I decided to look through this thread again. In terms of a fairly wild setup Godspeed turbo can upgrade jb s300 cartridges to ball bearing. Doing that to a 62/68/.7 bw sxe should provide almost biblically fast spoolup. Paired with a moderately sized s400 primary would accomplish the low end smoke thing, and give some more top end air.

It was also mentioned a while back whether a higher flowing manifold would adversely affect a ve truck that I never noticed. When I switched from the stock manifold to my steed speed I kept my hybrid holset unchanged, and it spooled identical before, and after, and the steed speed is one of the highest flowing manifolds out there.

I was also talking to a friend of mine who recommended slightly lowering the truck for looks purposes.

Is it safe to say at this point that it is funny?

It's the tire guy who's getting them for me. Yeah, he needs a new lug-nut vendor.
That being said, they're your basic chrome-plated solid steel variety. $1.63 each my cost.
