Didn't roadkill garage switch the crop duster gears from 4.10 to 3.23 and it still ran the same ET and MPH?

That's a good point, I believe the Hemi was designed around 89 octane, how many people actually run that? I used to when I towed, but I tow so often that I was spending a fortune on migrade now that's it's $1 a gallon more than regular, so I went back to regular.

I would tend to agree with you, however, I do not know what gear is considered OD in the 8 speed? Is it all of them with an OD ratio, or is it just 8, or does tow haul prevent the torque converter from locking up? I place mine (5.7/8speed/3.23) in tow haul mode, it definitely holds the shifts...

I've thought about headers a few times for mine. I think the cheapest ones are about a grand for shorties. It only takes about 90 minutes per side to do the manifolds now, and the bolts are free with the lifetime warranty, so I pick a weekend and spend the 3 hours swapping out both sides...

Gas is a lot cheaper than a second vehicle that's $45k+.

I don't think you are too far off. I have a 2015 Laramie crew cab, since new I only manage to get 15-17mpg empty with a mix of city and highway driving. Pulling my Jeep on an open trailer (maybe 6000 lbs) I would get 11-12, towing a 4500lb travel trailer I would get 10, amd with my current...

I don't have experience with their serpentine setup, but when I ordered their v belt kit, the crank pulley that came in the kit was tiny. I had to order a different larger one separately, which cost more than I expected. Double check the pulley diameters before ordering.

Summit customer service is pretty good. Call them and say you forgot to use your coupon code, I bet they'll take it from you and adjust your order.

Looks like I get a $100 gift card to the parts store, and a gift box from Meguires worth about $250 and a page in the calendar. Not bad for a free entry!

Yes, yes, no. The VW bug had almost 1000 votes so he took first. I think that 65 Riviera is in TACC, he made it as well.

Woohoo! Thanks for the help guys, I came in second place, beating my buddy by 3 votes at the last minute! I'll try to remember to post when the calendars are available, they are free at Auto Value stores.

I think I might try a 225/something as my next tire, just to get a little more rubber. It's easy enough to crank the torsion bars slightly if I need a little more height. So far they seem pretty good, they are a little less grippy than the ET Street SS I had before, but they look like they...

Last day to vote guys, let's finish strong! I appreciate all the help

I spent some time looking for options on a 28x12 and ended up going with a Nitto 555R since they were about $75 less than the Mickey ET Streets in the same size. I was hoping to go more of a street tire, but I'm limited by the size of the wheel (17x11), but the Nittos appear less aggressive...

Thanks everyone, I got a new department at work to put in some votes too and got back into third today. Appreciate the help, only 2 days left!!

Looks like I dropped from 3rd to 7th overnight with a couple close behind. I appreciate the votes you guys have given me, but it looks like I might need a good amount more to stay in the running.

It's Q4 Light Turquoise Iridescent. 69 Dodge 1 year only color.

If I keep going up at this rate, I should be good for making the calendar, but don't give up now. Thanks guys!! Next year I'll pick a better picture.

I'm trying, I think I'm in 4th. I'm running out of people to ask to vote!!!

That's pretty cool, It could use a good cleaning, as could my daily.

Here's a few other photos of my car that were contenders to submit most of which I like better, but they didn't meet the minimum file size requirements. I need to crank up the settings on my camera to have more choices next time.

I bet he has a bunch of online VW forums voting for him. Whoever would do such a thing? :lol:

It's an older chain of parts stores around here. I think our local Pep Boys is an Auto Value and the small parts store in my town is one too.

Thanks everyone! That Purple Cuda, Purple Challenger, Silver Charger, Tan/Brown Demon and Escalade pickup are all buddies as well so feel free to toss them a few votes if you'd like too!

I assume the top 12 will make it, but I won't complain with being in the lead!! It has to be 24 hours between votes.

You'll get to see my car for a whole month if I make it I. The calendar you can get for free at any Auto Value store!

That's another car in our local club, cool truck, it's a 90s Chevy with an escalade front end with air bags.

Thanks. It's a 69 Dodge color. Light Turquoise Iridescent, Q4.

It made you prove you were a human? I haven't had that happen to me, I wonder if it's because I use my phone? We're you on a computer?

Here's a quick collage I put together to show off the car..
