The last couple of months I have been buying up parts. Wanted to get all of em in the garage before I started in. The goal was to get a good base for a chip and do some regular maintenance while at it. I have MBRP in 4", high presure crossover, Sonnex valve and tricummulator springs along with a nice trucool trans cooler. I have also purchaced 203 degree t-stat and new neck, new coolant, 20 gallons of distilled H2O, new radiator hoses, and coolant filter. Just purchaced my trans temp gauge (bought boost and pyro last month) and am in the process of making my own gauge pod for above the visor. Oh, also some Shaffer's tranny fluid today as well. Now starts the work probably on Sunday.
Most of my cash has come from recycling copper wire and pipe from a demo that is going on in the building that I work. The contractors wanted it, but its better to put that free cash in my PSD than thiers. Copper sold for 2.95 per lb. So if you guys have access to some recycleables, do it and stuff the cash in your truck.
Now a tough decision--Tony or Jody. Need 175 more lbs of cooper before I have to decide.

I just took some scrap metal to a metal recycling place last week and about fell over when they gave me $227 for it. More cash for my electric fuel system parts.

Tony..then as you get more $$ from all the copper and when you mod it some more you can get your chip upgraded-reburned to match your new mods for free! Besides having the best tuner.
