Brian's definitely a guy making every day count. I've been off work for 3 months and haven't gotten nearly as much done (to be fair, this past week I've been sick...but the rest of the time...umm...).

Looking good Brian! You're moving right along. Are you doing valve springs and pushrods too?

Honestly, I hadnt even thought about that. You think it would be necessary with the 366 and stage ones?

I would say yes! You'll be putting out a lot more boost than the stock Garret could, protect your investment, and the smith bro's rods from clay are only about 219$ for .083 wall, and 277 for the .120wall. And the 910 comp springs are 86$. Go bigger than what you'll need to be on the safe side, that's what I'll be doing.

Hehe iv never been accused of being a good driver. I was hauling down a road iv never been on (I.e. truck shuts off at 70) come up over a hill and on the other side of the hill was a turn... Soon as I saw it I knew it was all over. I crammed on the brakes and started sliding sideways. I let off to keep from going in the field sideways and rolling it, so I just nosed it in. Shook me up more than anything lol. Of course them dang trucks don't have posi so the one tire fire couldn't get me back out. I ended up using one of them plastic dohickeys with the nubs on it that's supposed to get you unstuck. It worked thank goodness lol

The advise here when I was doing mine Brian was to do them. When I'm hitting high rpm's pulling a load up a hill, I'm glad I did.
