No, like with sex, barrel length does not matter.

It´s the barrel diameter that counts.

You want to leave big, dripping, gaping, wet holes when finished.

Isn´t it ironic that basically the goals of sex and shooting intruders are the same ?

Bought the stuff in the purple bag to help me get through tonight.

Damn, they got all your money too? Or did your local liquor store run out of Double Oaked?

Wife needs a phone. Which one? http://swappa.com/devices/verizon

That is a pretty cool sight. I may look into that for 3G phones. I am looking at the loop holes so I don't give up unlimited data. If I go 4G then data changes.

One more thing I really need to address is porting the exhaust manifold. That will get done either when it's new turbo time or new downpipe time.

Not sure about diesel but I have found restrictive exhaust manifolds and open from the down pipe out provides better torque and horsepower transition in gasoline motors. I have tried large long tube headers and short small tube headers and found much better 60 foot times and overall 1/4 miles were considerably improved

What you're saying makes sense for a turbo engine. Small tubes, high velocity is all good. And since in a drag application you're at WOT I would compare it to a diesel because diesels it doesn't use a throttle body so they flow a lot of air all the time.

In my situation the ports in the head are slightly bigger than the manifold so porting was maybe a generous word, gasket matching would describe it better.

Just paid $91 for a full tank of gas in my truck (around 335 miles of travel). I have my Saturn in Tx that I could bring up and get double the milage. Or I could sell it down there and use the money towards something up here in Kansas. I really wanted my next car to be something sporty (BMW ish) but that isn't in the cars for at least 8 months (more like a year).

You must be getting PAID!

I like to stay away from the Z1 after having one with a hole in the board, which caught fire after it was fixed (unrelated to the repair) and seeing a second one almost burning a hole in the board.

I'm in the market for a new to me used vehicle. I am interested in a suv. My choices would be a Tahoe or Suburban 2004-2006. How much would you guys pay for a decent used one? How many miles? Is there a preference for either one? Goal is to build a "loud clean system with some 18"s". I would hate to destroy a new truck with all the bass so that is why I'm thinking used would be better. I need opinions and suggestions here...

Tahoe and suburban are about the same for your needs.

For what it's worth the GMC Yukon Denali has always been in the top for most comfy, nice to drive appointed well big GM suvs to me.

Escalades are nice but I don't know what engines they use. If they are GM engines rebaged then that would be ok too.

Didn't think about the Yukon, hmmm... Like I said in an earlier post goal is bass but I would take it on occasional trips. I just wasn't sure what's a good price to pay and what mileage range would be good?

Prices will vary drastically. No way to compare unless you say model x vs model y with similar miles.
