Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Stolen from reddit. But man this looks pretty good tbh

More thinking if anything stay all motor and do cams amongst other things. 

 

Yeah those wheels are horrendous. But that Charger front end looks quite nice on a Magnum

Also grandfather let me know today that the family truck is being left to me down the line. 98 Cheyenne with 22K original miles on it. Paint looks immaculate and honestly looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Bench seats front and rear, long bed. Honestly super worried something will happen to it in my hands like getting hit or scratched up. I have a ton of memories in this truck and it brings me back to simpler times from my childhood 

 

(I'll try to get more photos of it soon as the only photo I have is 4 years old from my Note 3)

 

I would legitimately pay good money for that truck.

 

honestly expect to tons of mileage out of that truck as long as you treat it well. Also working on it will be a cake walk?. I can actually sit in the engine bay of mine while I work on it. Will give you a heads up though, the factory plastic intake gasket does tend to give out easily and it's possible it for it to get sucked into the valve (you're gonna have a bad day). If you are lucky it will blow outwards and not cause damage.

 

oh and vortec heads FTW.

Man the A-Spec is so cool, and it's just a smidge behind the WRX and Stinger GT.

ARP is who I was originally looking into. Wasn't sure if there was anyone else I should look into aswell

Be aware that because ARP is longer if you have stock lug nuts you may have to change to some that are open at the end, the longer stud may not allow closed-top lug nuts to fit

Inb4 it breaks down before you drive it a mile. Which I do expect.

It's not commentary on you being a bad driver. Its commentary on how fucking bad Shitrolet vehicles are.

Burger King is better than McDonald's. Better fries. Better shakes. Neither have good burgers really. BK has better chicken. And they have onion rings.

In Idaho and Ohio, Burger King is outright garbage. The only good things they've had were the A1 Ultimate Bacon Burger, the Dr. Pepper shake, and the first run of Mac & Cheetos. Otherwise, they're worse than McDonalds, and Mickie D's isn't exactly high up on my fast food list anymore.

Indiana never got the Dr Pepper shake, the Cinammon Toast Crunch shake is phenomenal. But BK has honestly always been p good around here.
