Future pics will be of the high steer and I am in the process of cutting a 60 gauge cluster into the 40. I put a thanks out to John, Rob, Howard, and everyone else that helped out with this project. Hopefully for those who don't know are shop this will give you and idea of what we are capable of.

Thanks Jay

PS: Also did another MPG calculation and figure I am getting 21MPG.
 
Hey Jay, looks great and the MPG with 35s is pretty darn good.

Like the Radd Cruisers sticker on the intake.


What do you think you have into this build?

Also, when is the second part of this build coming, that idea you have about the body over tube kinda like what Abel did?


Last question, when we going to get together with Howard and have a couple coolies, that guy is one funny dude.

Well I am still tweeking things for now and the next big thing which I am hoping to get done this weekend is the high steer. Then probably the on board air. I probably have 2000 at least into this and that is not my hours.
 
Thats pretty cheap kid.


Most do not know....... but Jay spent time over seas and served our country.


I hold Jay in the highest respect and feel lucky to have met him, he is a quiet yet very smart guy and of course pig headed.

Cheers on the good job Jay.

Well I stayed late on Sat to put the high steer on and here are the pics. Although this has nothing to do with better mileage. The first pics are of the old setup.

looks good...
those marlin high steer arms???
 
Nope, they are Kyles from North West Fab which I got off flying glow. Then ends are 80 series, only thing I dont like about them they have no grease nipples.
 
Well friday turned into one of those days. I reconfigured the intake with a K&N just waiting for the pre filter now. Also did a compresion test which lead to my misery, #6 cylinder only has 200 psi, not good. So now I have to look at re building or replacing.
