Gotcha ... Thanks brother and BEST OF LUCK !!!

I've never blown an amplifier ... He was doing a amplifier "trade in" deal not to long ago ...

Didn't know they made some rule / class changes for this year ... Thanks !!! I will get over to the USACI site and read up !!! With the caps ... I see no problems here. But the Questiion I do have with the popular S10 is (if you do not want to say, thats fine. Just asking) what do you plan to have the enclosure tuned to ??? I was thinking that those trucks liked to be around 65 - 75 htz for burps ... but What for street beat ???

Uncapping the exhaust is illegal in some states (electronically or manually) ... pass a cop by mistake with the headers uncapped and they will treat you like a street racer ... most cases not good. Most vehicles sound really good with a larger diameter pipe set up in a "cat back" format with a nice high performance muffler ... Run you tail pipes completly out the rear or atleast behind the rear tires (45'd out to the rear) and you shouldn't have any problems. Then again, some people like the sound of turn downs before the rear end ... depends on the sound you are looking for ...

Looks like SPAM to me ...

Noob ... Ha, Ha Welcome

Yea, seems that way ... Looks like USACI is getting the most attention on the SPL side whereas MECA had the largest Sound Quality turnout at World Finals this year ... I think It was the largest Sound Quality turnout in MECA history ... I didn't get to see much of the MECA SPL stuff this year ...

Awesome I got some family down that way I haven't seen in sometime.I'll keep a lookout for it.I wish MECA was doing the Car Audio part of this event instead of USACI ... We are working hard to get more MECA events down here in the Jackson, Ms area if you guys are interested ... I know USACI has Showfest(Tunica/Southaven), Chillaxin/Ridin the Park(Jackson/Pearl), and Scrapin the Coast(Biloxi) ... Get them to Call and talk to Steve from MECA to set something up ... That would be a fun drive for me ...

Yep, I think he set one (maybe more) of the world records in Huntsville (Finals) ... Correct ??? I talked to him, but didn't get a chance to demo the "Black Nasty" ... Maybe next time I know there's alot more guys doing this, But Andrew's truck just came to mind first ... ... only a matter of time before you set one up in your truck ?????????????????????????? Think I will stick to my pair of Walmart batteries for now ... All I wanted to do was help verify that Dave's thead is not spam ....

Almost every one of his posts on this forum has been promoting or advertising one of his business ventures. That is spam. It's no different than any other non-supporting vendor or business coming on here to promote/sell their products....which are all likewise treated as they should be, as spam. If they want to advertise, then they need to pay the same fees as every other supporting vendor and/or advertisement on the site. Allowing non-supporting vendors to advertise undermines the supporting vendors and other advertisers who pay to be here. Competition companies like IASCA, MECA, USACI, and CAOTC do not sell product ... So how could they be classified as vendors ??? Ok ... for those of you that do not compete ... I'm not sure of how all of this works to competitor's advantage yet ... nor am I going to get into it with any one about it, but this is one of the hottest trends on the competition circuit today ... please note: these are not my pics ... just pics I found on google search for the topic I wanted to post on ... So like I said very clear ... I do not run this type of setup, nor do I know for any fact as to what advantage or disadvantage this can do for competition ... but people are seeing ALOT more of these things in the competition lanes today ... Hope this helps ...

Guys ... My apologies for posting here. i knew better ... To the op ... I personall think that you should listen to these people here and go with what ever drivers suit your application the best ... Best of luck with your system ... I think I will finally join my team mates and promise myself to never post on this forum again ... Just too much of a hassle ... Again, thanks SSA

Hmmm ... Wonder where you got that Glowing Grille idea ??? Looks Awesome my brother !!!

EDIT

EDIT

Can't check it on my Blackberry ... I will get to it as soon as I get home.

DAMN !!! What a Nice Truck !!! If you EVER decide to sell this truck ... Will you PLEASE let me know !!!

Welcome to SSA

Well, this past week I pulled my engine down to find out why my truck is drinking more water than fuel ... Turns out ... I had a blown intake gasket. Well thank God it's payday Friday so I can get my new gasket set, get things cleaned up, and put back together by next weekend ... Next weekend (well, may take a couple of weekends ...) is gonna be fun cause we are going to pull the enclosure, remove the bed from the truck, and get my C-Notch and Helper Air Ride set up done ... Looks like I'm gonna get me some practice and polish up my Welding Skills !!! There's alot of work that needs to be done to my truck's frame ...

Welcome to SSA

Yes it does ... Yea, whatever bro ...

SSA or DSS ...

done a bit of Google research and found this ... http://vmacair.com/product/underhood-air-compressor-systems/

My old bucket truck had air tanks installed ... Is that not good enough ?? It had air brakes and a service tank ... I have my 5 gallon tank ready to be installed but gave thought about running off of the engine and not use battery operated compressors ...

Yep, Seen this car at Finals ... It was a sight for sure !!! I was offered a demo before I actually seen it in action ... Gald I was in the middle of tuning my truck !!! ... Cause I'd still be feeling the effects of that demo ... My demo from Ninja was enough to last me until next year's Finals ... LOL

No A/C compressors will pump oil out with the air. I think that would be bad for the shocks. Alot of construction trucks have engine mounted compressors ... Back in the day they used A/C compressors all of the time ... Never had any problems with oil mixed with air ... I'm sure that today's A/C compressors will cause this oil / air mixture ... Someone explained that to me the other day about newer A/C compressors not being able to work for Air Ride systems ... You might try (if you have room on the engine) some of the old construction truck junk yards for old school compressors ... I know where one is about 30 miles from the house that I may hit up when I get my truck back on the road ...
