Inquiring minds want to know where all this is going. Are you just following your nose, or do you have some plan of things to see and do? Are you planning to settle back in the lower 48? If you come through North Carolina, be sure to look us up and stop.

Yesterday, I finally got around to fixing a nagging problem on the truck. In hot weather, at night, (of course) the headlights would go out without warning. Sometimes they would come back on, but you never knew what was going to happen. About a week ago, Randi and I had just returned from an outing ...

We took Randi's 84 year old mother to the Nascar Hall of Fame in Charlotte this weekend to celebrate her birthday. She is a rabid fan of Nascar. You may remember that we took her to Lowe's Motor Speedway to celebrate her 80th birthday. She got a ride in a racecar for 3 laps going 165 mph. We had a g...

Hey Fred. It looks like Hutters worked long and hard for that 15 hp. Those Caddy engineers must have done a good job with the car right out of the showroom. We out here in the studio audience just can't wait to find out how that translates into numbers at the track.

OK, images and video link are edited in to Maverick's last post.

Fred, we love the videos. Just a suggestion for next time. Try to position the camera so that we can see the tach and speedo during the run.

The status is I had forgotten to update the link in this thread. It has now been done. I've had no bites on the truck since the ad has been running. I've reduced the price significantly. I'll let it run like this for a while to see what happens. I try to delete and repost the ad every seven days to ...

I've decided to leave that sort of tinkering to the professionals (and 'Smoker).

Links to YouTube videos have been edited in to Maverick's last post.

Perfect. Thanks.

Hey Dave,
For those of us who are interested but not enough to investigate for ourselves, could you elaborate on this new wideband controller. I'd be interested to know what it does and how it relates to your MegaSquirt unit and ultimately the running of your engine.

This is really pathetic, you guys. A bunch of tiresmokers (myself included) with nothing to offer but comments on how well Fred's grass is growing.

I guess I'll join the fray, too. In the October Car Craft magazine, is an article about a BBC turn-key engine for less than $2700. It's a remanufactured 454 from Demon Engines in Santa Fe Springs, California that puts out more than 400 HP and is complete sans carb. Check it out. Just more food for t...

How about a tow bar or tow dolly?

I've changed the link to the ad. Notice the price drop.
