If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

J/k man!

Lets see here...

-2 bolt main
-scat crank
-eagle rods
-JE pistons (11-1 CR)
- World Products windsor Jr. heads, iron, with a good bit of port work and larger valves

-Harland sharp rocker arms
-Trick Flow push rods
-FRPP E303 camshaft
-Crane race distributor
-Weiand Xcellorator intake, aluminum, good bit of port work
-Heddman Longtube headers
-Barry Grant Speed Demon 650cfm carb
-MSD 9mm wires
-MSD 6AL ignition
-MSD Blaster2 coil
-K&N beather(valve cover) and air filter
-Holley Blue fuel pump

-TCI Streetfighter C4
-Saturday night special converter
-B&M ratchet shifter

-3.55 gears in the rear end

And on occasion I have a 175 shot that I spray to it when im feeling froggy.

Not a bad ride for a 16 year old.

And yes, I know im one lucky SOB, but I work my *** off for this truck!

I thought I was lucky getting my truck at 15 (now I'm 17) as nice as it is.

It'll take you for a ride

My best 60' so far was a 1.72 on concrete, with drag radials. I have yet to spray any nitrous to it at the track for fear of breaking something. I need to make some form of traction bars to keep my rear end from twisting.

If you havent broke anything yet you are definatly on the verge these things are hard on parts.

I tore the driveshaft out of my truck a couple of weeks ago playing with the hose on the street.

I already have a driveshaft loop welded in, just in case. I check my truck once a week, just to be sure everything is in good shape. The only thing im having consistant problems with are the nuts and bolts on the header collector flanges. They keep loosening and the nuts fall off, then I have a hellacious exhaust leak...

Nylock nuts wont work either.. it just burns the nylon out and they fall off.

Anyone have any kind of suggestion (short of loktite)?

Oh yea, whats the "best" wax to use on these old trucks? Mine's overdue and hopefully I'll be putting her in a car show within the week!

Tried to send you a pm 306 but I guess you don't have enough posts yet. How much do you want for the intake? send me an email or pm if you can.

The fronts are 15x5 with 205/75-15s and the rears are 15x9 with 5.5 backspacing and 315/60-15 MT drag radials. I have 15x10 with 5.5bs too with 28x10.5 slicks and they fit. I had to cut the lip off the outside of the bed and hammer the wheeltub in some. The bolt pattern is 5x4.5. The rotors are redrilled and the hub was machined down so the wheels would fit. The axles are Mosers that I ordered double drilled with 5x5.5 and 5x4.5 and I redrilled the drums myself.
