  1. Studs put in one by one if your headgasket is still good. Beyond that nope. if you want the best of the best infinite performance can build you a really really nice set of injectors. More budget minded then DAP. I would do DAP for the turbo regardless. I would go with borg warner sxe turbo in the size that fits your hp goal 7 x .010's are commonly called 150hp over stock but it is really 150hp -+25 depending on the builder
  2. I wont pay more than we agree'd lol
  3. 7 x .010's and a 62 mm inducer turbo is a popular setup for towing and 500 hp. You can go smaller on the turbo, but you will still eat the trans at 400 or 450 hp. How much power do you want? Your trans will not last a week if you upgrade injectors to 7 x .010. the lockup clutch will not be able to keep the tc locked. to the point of if you tow it will likely just burn up the atf fluid due to excess heat.
  4. you are already playing with fire with the quadzilla and a stock trans. Time to spend $$ on the trans. @Dynamic what would you suggest?
  5. set to land 7-21 and be at the dealer hopefully 7-25 Order 3-20-18 ish destination and shipping was 1295 and base was 40245. both of those went up twice. Now at 1695 shipping and 40645. Took so long to build that I can literally see inflation at work ahahahaha
  6. if you have the money, do studs. All that work to resurface just isn't worth the risk in my mind.
  7. One thing I will really miss is induction noise. My 750il has a noise that can make anyone smile. Hard to really put into words, but hearing that V12 howl at 4000 rpm is
  8. Did you take the cute brunette out for dinner?!?! Assuming not married lol Glad everyone made it through and the moose was put to use.
  9. road heat engine heat etc etc. I dont know that 163 *f is anything to worry about, still cooler than the coolant.
  10. guess I am not the Quadzilla guy anymore hahahaha nice work.
  11. I wouldn't unless you want to R&D with it.
  12. Torque is hard on tires
  13. I am sure the gubment will find a " fair and reasonable" manner to tax the shorts off ev stuff lol.
  14. Most of them are pay services to allow you to charge.
  15. 400-500 is still reliable. Harder on the drivetrain, but not terrible. 7x .011's and a he351ve would be a nice setup. I ran with 7 x .012's and it was fine but the turbo was opening up pretty good to keep from overshooting 130,000 rpm
  16. KZ status as of today. Looks like it will get on the train soon.
  17. the cost in terms of only fuel vs paying the power bill for to and from work 5 days a week The focus gets right at 20 mpg city to and from work. 10 miles each way -> 20 miles a day total $ per KWH is at 0.09 here in colorado springs gas is at 3.25 right now. the volt is right at 30 kwh per 100 miles 1 gallon of gas per day for the focus x 5 days a week x 4 = ~$64 a month on fuel 6 kwh per day for 20 miles X .09 x5 days a week x 4 weeks a month = ~$11 a month for power. additional costs are unknown in terms of winter kwh per mile etc. but with power so cheap near me there is a lot of room to grow before hitting gas cost per gallon. the grid can't handle it. but the electrical need of the USA is climbing at a rate that the grid is already struggling to keep up with.
  18. lol the chevy bolt has a longer powertrain warranty then the cummins 8 year 100,000 vs 5 year 100,000 feds are offering 7.5k credit and colorado is offering 5k credit.....Man I hate that but wow if my tax dollars are paying for it I might have to use it @KATOOM Did you calculate plugging it in at work rather than the house? big savings once you get the 400' extension cord
  19. I've seen a ton of them recently as well. Tesla finally hit the 5k per week production. You are going to start to see a flood of them hit the roads, last time I checked Tesla was backlogged 5 months with existing orders. At the current rate that is 100,000 units in 5 months that are already sold.
