This one is going to be a bit of a Journey... This engine came to me for a CAM change and some better heads from a good buddy But I dug in  and a few cylinders were low on compression  -  I opened up the engine and found the "build" was not great  even though the builder says he is one of the...

its not Boobs but maybe the next best thing :-) This is a "Billy Bad Boy" build I just finished for Kevin "Coin Pocket" in my crew   Should make some serious HP on the Dyno this week, but its really made to Dune and be driveable and very relaible  A few Specs for those who Care: 454 LSR Tall...

A buddy has been looking  and basically finding crazy prices - anyone k now of dealer that is being reasonable or are these just impossible to get and priced like gold?

Posting for a friend- He was building a new car and found his dream car So the trans has to go -  Contact him for info .. Brand new S4D transaxle available now - built by Kevin McMullen. Has all current/updated internals available and is set up for rear engine. Easy to make it mid-engine. If...

I just heard from a guy with a Tatum Spider I built an SC 441 for. He had a nice name brand LS engine in his car and it ran ok for NA , kinda rumpity, and  Dyno'd just under 500RWHP but he wanted more power and more Torque and better manners.  We settled on a supercharged 441 on 91 and e85...

Lake Mead is looking pretty bad ... Powell is also at critical levels... In fact the Colorado has been drying up for 100 years but population explosion and all it brings ... and drought  It's not looking good.  At the best Electricity and water will cost a lot more and you will not run...

My radio in my car is having an issue and I want to stay VHF as all the cars and even the SxS's in my group have VHF rather than the newer UHF radios  - but I hear the combos might be the way to go? I liked my old ICON - but they stopped making it.  Rugged has made a lot of changes and while I...

Wondering When Everyone Ends their Glamis Season ... 

I am a bit of a "Lite is Mite" person obsessed with power to weight ratio. My goal for my cars is 2 to 1.  Basically a 2000Lb car with 1000HP, or 2500Lbs  with 1250HP.  I usually come close or do a bit better.  I might build a new car in the off season and have been thinking about a CF body...

Do happen you have one 2"x16" King coil over taking up space?  Maybe a spare?  or extra? or even a pair.  I don't care if its emulsion, piggy back, or remote Resi, I need one and will reconfigure it. I know it's a long shot, but throwing it out - let me know what you got ... thanks

I am not betting the Future on EV's ... They just don't make practical sense for the long run.  Rare earth elements are just that  "rare" and controlled by countries we (I) don't like.  Battery tech is unsustainable without coal or Natural gas, or Nuclear, and those are being phased out fast -...

I just received a New AC Delco TPS sensor from Amazon on Thursday. I buy those all the time there and only from authorized dealers. I opened the box, and in 1 second I could tell its a knock off. Not even close labeling... So how does that happen??  I contacted Amazon and tell them and of...

The wife has been bugging me to bring a portable pizza oven to the dunes.  Did a few searches, seems there  are a few options. Has anyone tried it? Doable? Smart? Dumb?  I need some advice from the foodies here.

Ever wonder what happens when a fuel injector gets clogged under boost .... its costs more than a yearly injector cleaning PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT If the car has been sitting all summer and no one ran HEET or stabil through the engine before putting the car away .... its a good thing to...

So here is the scenario ...  I re-did my sand car over the 2020  season, because I just was not going for that season - too many hassles living in LA county etc. The build is up in Sandrail tech. I put tons of time in the car and I want it out for Halloween.  The problem is I don't have a...

While you cannot beat the weather where i live in the South bay, I cannot say I am as happy in CA anymore.  I have a lucrative opportunity in the PHX area, and this one might just get me to escape.  But I really need advice.   I have a friend that moved to Fountain Hills in 2020, and the place...

Some of you may think I am a Tim McAmis fan boi.. and I guess its true. The guy tells it like it is In this video he describes all types of bolts to use on RacE CarS ( read that SAND CARS) and why you should use them - its a bit long but worth the watch I try to use NAS and MS bolts when I can...

A buddy of mine just got one of the new style  "Solar Generators" as an emergency back up for the house (he told his wife)  BUT mostly to use instead of his Genny in his Toy hauler.  While I thought he was nuts at first after he showed my how it worked, I think I am coming around as to the...

At the end of the 2019 season one of the people that occasionally joined our group at G knew I had  solar I had on my Moho and had done a number of systems and so he asked for a parts list for his toy hauler I sent him a diagram and parts list and told him chose carefully on parts ...   Long...

Sorry if this is way long - but I think its important .... Those who have duned with me know I am a freak for fire safety.  If you go fast in uncontrolled conditions stuff happens. I have seen first hand what fire can do, and some GD members (LRS comes to mind) have been in off road fires and...
