HAHA, Funny you say that, Bennett has done almost 6k in upgrades to my Truck!! That is where it is sitting right now! I was thinking of going with BTS or JW until I have talked to several people that are running his trans... He was the first person I called, he assured me that he would take care of me, he is the one that droped my last motor in and turbo.... along with alot of other goodies over the past couple years....

And why do you call Steve "Scuba Steve"? I call him "talk my ears off till they bleed" but one hell of a nice guy!

Are you running a .84 housing on that turbo now... I dropped off one of my spare .84 housings a few months ago to put on a truck like yours...

Just a nickname for him, is he there? His finger is Busted up!!!
