It's not too bad if you heat your floors. That's what we had in the house I grew up in and it was amazing! And surprisingly not very expensive to run during the winters.

I might be in the wrong area for these questions lol.

She said a few months ago she is tired of it and wants us to paint it a different color and I was like "Oh Hell No"

I doubt pinning it is needed. I'm not the one to ask though. My gut says no...but I will say this, being that you have an aftermarket balancer that's keyed...it sure wouldn't hurt anything if you did do it.

Its not crank stress, its spinning the balancer on the crank. You must pin it at that level.

I didn't get the fuel pressure done today, but we got the nitrous bottle orientation fixed. We got the wideband welded in and the gauge up and running.
I'm digging this A pillar full of gauges! Very cool. I'm ready for my HPT stuff to show up. Hopefully next week.

Thanks Brad. I ended up putting the bottle in the same place you had yours. It went much smoother the 2nd time through. I'm waiting on a fuel line to flip my rails and we're in business.

Ugh. I just ordered Pfadt Solid Rear Subframe bushings. I'm sure I will be happy with them but my wallet just imploded. I may need some help getting these installed! Good news is though, I will have a Hotchkis Chassis Brace for sale soon!
