checking in!

Hey guys! Been a LONG time since I've checked in, just been busy and not much time left to surf the ol interwebs. I'll give you. A quick run down, basically I moved across the country a little over a year ago and drove the ol girl with out a single hiccup. A few minor mods here and there and we ran in to a problem lol the thin air has proven to be challenging on big injectors and single turbos and got the best of the ol girl. Ended up bending a rod one hot summer night. Here's a few pictures for your entertainment!
comp 910 on left vs comp beehive on the right all installed with 150psi seat pressure block all back fron machine work. Filled block, .10 over pistons, carillo rods, mikes diesel girdle with arp studs, all decked and cleaned. Pan all welded up for future compounds
truck is now sporting 400/400 injectors, an s475 turbo, twin terminators, a fresh BTS and everything to make it work. Once it's back down to sea level it will be ready to break into the 800s I hope!

Try the manual white balance settings on your camera, based on the type of ambient lighting. I have a purple car, and the auto white balance always shifts it toward blue; I think in its little programmed brain, it doesn't "believe" that there's that much purple in the subject matter.

I can look into that setting thanks. And the twin pumps are great, they ramp oil pressure too fast sometimes though. They spiked to 4000psi at a small throttle blip and ended up blowing 8 orings on a set of 250/200s I was using lol

Man, you've been busy. I'm loving the build and the pictures. I love how you left it looking mostly stock on the outside. You can't tell if that thing has 200 hp or 800 hp from the outside.
The color showed up purple on my screen.
