sure would sound great.
Do you think its worth just putting in a flange like your last picture and doing a run with and then without on the dyno on the same day to measure the difference before spending lots of coin on a remote system?



ps. Time for a supercharger and some NOS (and wheelie bars :mrgreen: )
Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level then beat you with experiance!

NOS I'm thinking about coz it's cheaper than supercharging.
But I think you're right. Do a simple system first and going from there. :wink:
Would be interested to hear other thoughts.

Rather then spend more money on the truck, I think you should spend more time offroad :wink:

That would be by FAR the cheapest option. But if I did that I might get it dirty or worse, brake something! :shock:

Now now boys. You can't be too harsh on Peter. Why just yesterday (Wednesday) I saw him cross over a traffic island in Moorhouse Ave. (Yes Pete, Chch is just a small village). :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Ugly is a state of mind..... and the state of my truck!

I know a few guys here that would be rolling there eyes reading that chev, coz there's no mud involved. But I'm right with ya on this one. :mrgreen:

It would be handy to have that extra grunt up a mud hill just when you need it. But again, you have to go offroad to find a mud hill. :lol:

I just want to mention something that is a little off topic.

I've recently added people from ORE onto my facebook page.
I don't have a lot of connections on my facebook page for one main reason.
Though i like facebook. For me, the whole purpose of it is to catchup with family and close friends abroad.

I don't mind things getting heated or guys giving me shit here about how I should be using my truck. This is an off road forum. My family and kids aren't members here. And that's how I like it.. So now I'm thinking the two should be separate. So if you've been deleted from my page please don't take offense. It's nothing personal.

I don't want people on my facebook page that I don't know well enough. My young kids read my facebook page. I'm not looking at making big numbers for the sake of looking cool, "oooh, look how many friends that person has on their friends list! Wow, they must be popular!!" I'm past that. I'm 45 for fark sakes. I feel luck enough to have the 20 odd friends i have on my list. Each one of em I love as family...

My rant is over.
Sorry about that.

SO, back to those lovely supermarket carparks.
Gimme shit about it fellas. here's the place to do it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good thing you weren't ride'n shotgun on your sisters V8 trike! Specially with its lack of rear suspension....

I see she has been getting some repair work done at my mate's racecar engineering shop. I've had a good look around it and it looks like fun. She has gone to the right place - Garry will sort the wee beastie and not only is he an awesome engineer but he has integrity too.

Enjoying the banter and give'm heaps back Pete!
Oh and when are we going to see some burnouts of the 40 in THE MUD?
Reckon your sis is doing more miles on the trike than you are in 300kW!

Thankfully I don't see the evil eye from Rach to often there mudz. But when i do, i act straight away. :lol:

I think the short wheel base of the 40 doesn't help there skid. I dunno. But yeah the VX would get round easier I recon red.

Now. When I was watching the video clip of me getting it all wrong with my step son. His reaction was, "oooooooh no! you can put that up on youtube pete. It looks like you can't drive." :lol:
Truth is, he's right! I farked it up. Not once but twice. :roll:
:lol:
