The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

[Xpress]

Spent some time getting all the covering tightened back up on the Slick last night, and fitted a "free HP kit" to it (stickers).

Wow at my local track you only have to have a helmet if you break into the 13's though yes it has to be of a certain rating. Speaking of racing I will be throwing my dads 06 gt around VIR on Saturday. A day of fun on the road course. Only ever ridden in a car out there this will be my first time driving and I'm so looking forward to it.

13.99 at my track for a lid.

You may like what is in the garage tonite..... An '01 F150 Lightning. Belongs to a buddy of mine. Poked 20 over, stage 2 cams, +2# upper, +6# lower, amongst other mods. Has a 3.4L Whipple to go on soon. Installed a new heat exchanger on it a week before we went to the track. I think the torque converter is slipping. He made his 2nd pass, and you can hear the engine rev up at 1100', and still ran a 12.9. Something is making a ticking noise underneath when the engine is running.

He claims it will be a 9 sec truck. Not without slicks, some serious trans work and a different rear gear. May have to go to 4.56s....

My brotha used to have a lightning. Badass truck made over 700 at the flywheel. Best he ever got was a 11.70 but he can't drive for heck so that was the biggest problem. Also had lots of other problems as it was a wrecked truck when he bought it.

But can he haul a full sheet of plywood in it?

I can haul a ton of plywood in my F350. Love my SuperDuty.

The PowerLab 6 is a nice charger, you should be happy with that. I still want to get a Bump Controller for my PowerLab 8.

Flat on the bed floor between the fenders with the tailgate closed? The truck market has sure changed. Big luxurious cabs and short narrow beds. It's really hard to find a new extended cab long standard bed with a standard transmission. But this isn't supposed to be a truck thread. I'll go back to fixing my plane now. Tore the gear off this morning.
