    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Sort of like asking me if I own a knife. Although, immersion circulator may be a more appropriate term here

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Gotta ask what kind of stupid shit do they put on there? J No different than going to any big festival or attraction that gathers a lot of people. Akin to Disneyworld, State Fair, Amusement Park, Casino, blah, blah, blah. I'd personally rather go get a toe tipper done by the Doc than go to any of those places.
  5. And it is double damned. By default it is uber unscientific to report two digits after the decimal which makes me generically want to ignore that calculator; however, it may be just too dumb to report anything but real math in which case it may be right. Or, the possibility exists they are both wrong. Hard to tell without remodeling or calculating it out yourself. Equation is rather easy if you want to double check the calc.
  6. Equalizers are used to combat anomalies in the response of a system by cutting them out. "decent" and "power acoustic" shouldn't be used in the same sentence in this regard either. I'd return the thing...unless of course you have some need it is fulfilling.

    Fuck. Gotta a pissed wife. She obviously wants to go to the Stearns County Fair really bad. Her whole family is there. I absolutely HATE shit like fairs. Full of fucking morons that I really have no desire to talk to and people performing stupid shit that no one should ever bother to watch. Needless to say, she said she'd be okay with 2 hours so I laid out the day to where we could be there for 2 hours and she flipped. 2 meant 4. Now she is "ok" without going as she doesn't want to deal with me there. SUcks. I haven't been home for a SINGLE Saturday this summer. Guess that trend continues. Made worse since the next 2 I am gone for as well. BOOO

    I wouldn't worry about springs unless your lift requires them. You won't be winding it out much higher than current redline so I don't forsee a lot of float. Pushrods, not really. Cat and exhaust are suggested with the hairdriers. Better flow after the blowers and short tubes before have always proven optimal. Not sue what the feed adapter is. Is the requirement based on a resized pump feed inlet? In your opinion, a log manifold for a DIY turbo kit would be a good value option? Most likely built by me after seeing how easy it was to weld some stainless exhaust tube (I want to turbo the Miata) Turbo's are pretty forgiving. Just want them close to the exhaust and sized appropriately. Considering your motor size you can get away with a used diesel piece. Plenty of reasonable chinese intercoolers on ebay too. If I had time/skills to make something I would, but I don't.

    Good points. And I meant destroyed. J Good luck finding a 2010+ Escalade with a "destroyed" motor as well. Mine was priced like that anyways.

    Awesome. If you end up with questions, I would highly recommend Tony. He owns TBSS and is super responsive with install related questions and help. His kit for your truck: http://www.tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=174http://www.tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=174 Just put his "handling" kit on my Escalade and wow does it ride better.

    $15k minimally. The suspension and boost and I won't have eaten the full $15k. Once I add the short block I'll eclipse it, but who cares at that point. Plus the truck was free, I just pay for mods. What I don't spend on its value at lease end is taxable as well so the upgrades are pre-income tax basically.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    After everything is said and done, wouldn't it of been easier to buy one with a blown engine and just build that way? J Blown as in destroyed or charged? Mine was basically "blown" as it was nearly $20k cheaper than others of the same year.

    Static drop. Figured it was air too as it looks like it could use an alignment. Do you know which suspension kit it has?

    But it is so easy to make.

    Not Ready to Give up on FI yet. what would you do?

    The problem is your bass desires and the potential output of your setup don't jive together. Nothing is going to make you happy. If you are okay with less bass then carry on, if you want what you tried to achieve it will fail again.

    And of course those are the two reasons pad thai is yummy. Plus I really wanted some dried salted shrimp on top, but no instead the shrimp was $4, overcooked and fucking viet-shit shrimp that you shouldn't eat.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    How did you even end up there? The pad Thai and Mac and cheese isn't disgusting, but it isn't good. They opened a new one right by my house. Was at Cub grabbing some ribs for dinner and had no time to cook anything and wanted something fast. While I've eaten there before and been somewhat disgusted it has been a couple years. Had the Pad Thai as I figured it is damn near impossible to fuck up. Was disgusting and NOT Pad Thai. You can't make it without fish sauce and tamarind and it had neither.
