Hey everybody. I am a transplant over from CSVT where I was a member for about 7 years. A little about me. I have been modding cars, trucks, and SUV's for quite a few years now. I usually find myself gravitating towards putting together forced induction combos, usually from scratch based on my own design, as well as custom tuning my own vehicles and friends vehicles. I like doing anything involving custom metal fabrication so if it involves a MIG, TIG, or Milling machine then I am loving it. There isn't much I don't do to my own vehicles.

My main fun car is a Stryker Blue Metallic 2009 Pontiac G8 GT. The mods it has so far are 402 stroker motor, Twin turbos, 230/240 Turbocam, Circle D built trans, Circle D 3k stall, AIS meth injection, and a few other things. I am currently installing the new fuel system. I also plan to build a new TT system using a pair of PT5957's to support the larger airflow that the stroker needs as soon as I can afford them. The current turbos I have on it are a limiting factor now that the bigger motor is in.

I also have a Black 2003 Ford Explorer that has a VT built Modular 4.6 V8 2v in it, a Kenne Bell 2.2 supercharger, Art Carr 4R70W built trans w/ standalone controller, and all sorts of other things too.

I have another Explorer that is a little Green V6 one as well that I am also doing a junkyard Eaton M90 build onto. It is nothing special but I do plan to eventually make it into a decent offroad expedition vehicle.

Talk to you later.

Really? What error did you get? Should still be working fine. It's not tied into the merger or the site. It's its own independent thing.

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: File exists in W:\tcguploads.com\includes\functions.inc.php on line 20
