Too many episodes of Street Outlaws.

I have a buddy here in jeff with a twin turbo 6.0 LQ motor.. INSANE car like 1500hp.

For years he ran nitrous nitrous nitrous, until he finally got talked into turbos and now he wont go back.

I would love to do it too, but I need to get this upcoming suspension upgrade done, and then take a look at the trans before I go bigger..

Are you as good at avoiding speeding tickets as BRC though?

Split bumper? I always loved the split bumper cars.

And I had a rachet like that one in your pic and hated that ****er. I mean I probably have thirty to forty rachets and that was my least favorite. I traded it in

If I may make a suggestion it is this. When assembling my car I built stands like this out of 16" 2x4 sections. Didn't cost a lot and well worth the effort. You can build them as tall as you want as long as you can get the car high enough to get them under the tires.

It makes working on the car much easier and stabler than jack stands and you can also see the car at ride height while working on it.

I stole this pic from the internet as I have no pics of my car on the stands.

Nice start by the way.

Found it!

Sneaky, subtle use of unsecured duffel.

As much as you are spending on those cars and with as much as it helps I can't see why you guys don't just dump 1500 bucks on a used two post lift. I just bought another one. Ten thousand pound two post aamco. Probably used less than a hundred times. 1500 bucks. The guy bought it to under coat cars. So there is some on the arms. Doesn't bother me one bit

It makes working on your old cars so much more enjoyable.

Not going to work in the garage anyway. I will own a 2 pole lift in my life though.
