I'll be looking for places to off-road around Lubbock. Hopefully there's some near there

There are some sand dunes about 45 minutes from Odessa that are always fun for the truck or the quad. Treypal was talking about some racing in Notreas but I don't know how far it is from Lubbock.

Well I have a friend that is a recruiter in Lubbock and I told her that I would visit her and then maybe head down to the sand hills with her. If I end up making that trip I will give you a heads up.

....tossing around the idea of transferring to Texas tech.

Excellent choice.

twin turbo?

Just me but I would build it to be N/A and put bullet proof componets in! Will be a challenge to get the tuning correct but it will perform much better on the street and off road. Nothing like the lope that the aggressive cam sound does for your soul along with the looks at stop lights with the truck shaking just a little!!

Anyone can ******** a blower or turbo...

So . .. the Moral of the Story is:

If you have an aftermarket Cold Air Induction

---------> then <---------

---> CHECK IT ~ OFTEN <---

good luck with the build. it will be great

Are you doing billet "h" beam rods? Does Callies Cranks make a forged crank for our trucks yet? What manufacturers are you going with? Mahle, JE, Wiseco, Olivers,... Are you going for the same compression ratio? I am very interested to see what your going to do with your engine. I used to work at a "top secret" GM facility and all we did is build badass engines.

I'd really like to see a big N/A build..I have to agree that nothing sounds quite as good as a nice aggressive lope
