Okay, we are clearing out what we have remaining in stock on the Fumoto valves.
We won't be carrying them after this and I'm blowing them out at half price + $4.95 for USPS Priority shipping.
The ones I currently have left in stock are:
2 x FG7BN: 94 - 01 Cummins ($17.45 w/ shipping)

Man, you pull up next to my truck and you'd have NO idea what it really is.
My truck looks nice, but it doesn't scream almost 800 HP nice.
It's like the Chevelle.....you'd walk up to it with te hood closed and think....11's, maybe high 10's....then it busts out with low 9's, high 8's. The...
Yeah, but it's all about the weight and aero's on something like that.
I think it would be cool as all hell to do it in the C10 if we were gonna daily drive it. That would just be evil to pull up to a light in a C10 with a 600 HP Duramax in it. That would hurt some feelings.
But for a...
Yeah, the next project will likely be a Duramax, just haven't settled on the platform yet.
I want to stuff in a Reg Cab, Long Bed, 2WD Dakota.
My partner Tom wants to stuff it in a C10.
It's a little ways off, but more than likely it'll be something along the lines of what we just did...
That was without nitrous.
I'm holding off on the nitrous for now as I've pushed those turbos as far as they can go. All I'd be doing is overspooling them if I sprayed it.
This winter I'll do a new set of twins that are setup specifically for what I want.
Torque is right around the same...
No problem at all guys, glad ya enjoyed it.
Some of ya may like the next project we've been talking about.....
Stuff'n a Duramax into an old C10.
That'll be a little ways off, but I think it'll be our next build.
Well, we hit the rollers today.
She drove up under her own power and got us back home.
Ended up doing about 18 pulls today, but fell a little short of the 800 HP mark....simply don't have enough turbo on it....that'll get remedied this winter.
Started out with 2 hardware only pulls, no...
The Stealth BOMB'r is officially broken in.
Hit 1000 miles on the motor today, re-lashed the valves again and swapped the oil back to the synthetics.
Purrin' like a kitten......a very angry, ready to pounce on yo azz kitten.....but purrin' none the less.
Gonna try to get up to Hux...
Weeeeeell.........
The Stealth BOMB'r got it's first speeding ticket last night.....not by me though.
My partner was taking a customer to NAPA to pick up a few things and took him in my truck.
Not 2 miles from the shop he got tagged for 56 in a 45.
DOH!
:rof:
Just gotta prioritize....
That's why I have the pre-turbo EGT right there at the top and the oil pressure there to the far left.
Those are my 2 priorities, as those are the two that can cause BIG damage FAST.
Fuel pressure is with the rest of the gauges as I don't really want to look...
I went with those brakes because any time I've upgraded brake pads in the past, it's been with EBC and I've always had good results with them......not quite as dramatic as what they are on this, but always good results.
Whether it was sport bikes or my little Red Rocket ('05 Ford Focus that...
I made one BS pass at the track last night.....mostly just to wind the motor up and roll a little coal.
Left it in 2WD so it wouldn't stress the motor too much yet......was pretty much useless, it blew the tires off all the way down the track. Didn't do a boosted launch, just left under...
So, other than the nitrous, the Stealth BOMB'r V3.0 is now complete.
Here's the last things that needed to be done.
These are the EBC Ultimax rear brakes and the dash pod is painted to match the interior.
First impressions of the brakes, now that all the lines are bled......FRIGGIN'...
What you're doing is mating the pads to the rotor surfaces....it's like machining parts to fit together.
Initially, the pads and rotors are not "mated" to each other and what you're trying to do is quickly and evenly mate the surfaces so there's no contaminents to get between the pads and...
