unfortunately the billets would still be stronger, but there is a guy down here in SA that is building his 7.3. in the end it will have twins and i can't say what the injectors are. the twins will consist of a custom 76mm H2E and a 96mm. might make a little power on his cryo forged rods huh??? haha. he will be using cryo'd factory forged rods.

Well I would have to say that if he believes that they are strong enough for the setup that he is running then i think that they are more than i will ever need with my truck...haha. Once I'm in the 550-600 range and still being streetable then that is when my truck is to the point that i want it to be, power wise.

I was wondering that myself! Sam, Sam?? Foxracing0934, after rebuilding my auto twice and spending 4K, I now wish I would have just gotten a BTS in the first place. Hind site never fails a guy, you know??

Ya Glenn I know exactly what you are saying, hind sight is always 20-20. And if I could pay it off in $2000 incriments then I could do it just fine because coming up with $2k isn't that musch of a problem. Its the coming up with the extra $2500 on top of that at the same time, it always seems to work out that as soon as i am getting close something else comes up and there goes the BTS fund haha.
Sam must be makin another cross country trip. He's slackin on his hijacking resposibilities lol

haha exactly, I love my iphone it lets me stay nice and distracted where ever i may be and keep up with FTE. Now i've got a netbook laptop that has a 3G internet card in it so i can get internet anywhere AT&T has signal, it's quite convienient.
I found another place that offers cryo parts and they have an entire price list right on the site, Welcome to Outlaw Diesel :: Home then go to products and at the bottom of the page on the left side is says cryogentic treatment. They will do an entire block for about $350, now i just have to find out where they are located.

Justin, my bba is also collecting dust but I'm glad I have it. What is your masters degree goin to be? Travis, learning stuff that your not interested in is boring but the pay off is better, especially in this economy. Three weeks of parting and one week of studying isn't a bad life. The real payoff is when it starts getting warm out in the spring and all the girls come out of the dorms in their bikin's to lay out in the sun. That picture is still burned into my brain!
its probably going to be in operations mgmt. i was all set to go to uw whitewater this fall took my gmat and everything until UW Madison sent me a brochure and i found out that it as hard to get into as harvard-well their average gmat and gpa's are the same and they have more top ceo's than harvard so now i want to try and get into there. ive been a cnc machinist for almost 6 years already and love it so someday i want to start my own shop. madison makes you wait at least 2 years after your bba to apply to get work experience and i dont want to wonder what if i tried to get in. they only accept like 100 people per year from all over the world for their mba program but 100% job placement and an average salary of 82k after grauation just might be worth it lol

Yea, even if its just a cell phone as a modem. In my travels thats what I do, its slow but it works. I just installed a Motostat datastorm sattelite internet receiver on the top of my 5th wheel. Its basically a hughes net connection for internet (tv too). Its working good now but time will tell how reliable it is. I always have the cell phone as a back up though.

haha ya i obviously haven't read into it that much but i will be doing that pretty soon. Is triple cryoing just doing the same process three times to make them as strong as possible or does it have some hidden meaning? The only reason i liked that outlaw diesel site is becuase they had a price sheet on there site. I don't like calling a place up just for information, I feel like im wasting someones time haha so I like to do as much research on my own and then when the time comes to purchase something make the phone call and ask the few remaining question i may have. Where is 300 below located out of?

Hey guys I am still here in SC. LOL
Sorry to have been away for awhile. Couple of situations developed that required all of my attention. I am ok. I have a 4:00pm flight booked for Monday Feb 1. I will probably drive back though as I am dying to meet Travis and Cody and see the DRD shop in person. The pics just are cutting it. LOL
