Located in Metropolis, Ill.
Not sure where I will go yet for the 1/4 track, all tracks are around 45 min.
one way, the 1/8 mile is closest. which is actually in missouri. I watched some racing there about two weeks ago.
13's would be nice!
I'm close to a few border states: missouri, tenn, kentucky, and tenn.
 
I know where that is, gotta love the giant superman statue lol.

hell naw lets go to the casino lol
Let me tell you Why I stopped going to the casino:
With the money I've lost of total before I stopped gambling, Im sure I could have bought a used SRT-10, instead of an R/T...But yeah, don't get me wrong its fun, just to addicting.
 
You're doing it wrong..lol

This is how I roll in the casino..

Walk in, play the damn penny and nickle slots..I'm not there to " gamble" i'm there because they keep bringing you FREE alcohol just for playing the slots. Say I spent 20 bucks on slots, i may win, i may lose, but I got my moneys back plus a lot more in free jack and coke, etc. lol

Udate:
So, I talked with Chris at P.I.E today. Rockers are still out, unavailble until who knows when, they didn't have an estimated time frame to give him. He was excellent and went ahead and bought a much higher quality company brand of Rockers (Scorpions, which is actually a 1.6 RR for the Fords) and gave them to me at his cost, so I didnt have to send him any more money, he would just take the loss. So, maybe by next friday I will have them.
One more week.
Then tune the following week...

Almost there, there is only a few parts left to finish this Sunday that I can do until I get the: rockers, injectors and SCT.
Install spark plugs + wires (or should I wait to run the wires? hmmm...?)
Find some bolts to replace the studs for the 2 inside threads of the stock exhaust manifold.
Bolt up passenger side exhaust manifold to pipe.
radiator.
a/c condenser.
And I really need to start cleaning out the bed of the truck...
Then this week after i get home from work start cleaning back up the interior, put the center console back in...Then Wait......
I've decided Im not going to install the front bumper/or cooling fan until Im sure that it is running good and does not need
to be manually timed again.

Yes. It hasn't been to much trouble so far, only had to get one piece machined and run up to autozone a few times.
No, I did not get a dyno before the teardown.
