  1. me to , i am looking at going with 0 g and i have been looking at everything there is out there , thinking a rf's 0 gauge amp kit is the best value for getting going on 0 g
  2. i like using the silicone spray lube that leaves a dry film for pulling wires
  3. don't know alot about headers but i would be willing to give those a try , i think if you buy those headers you may want to spend some money on good gaskets and some locking fasteners . it sounds like header bolts can be tuff to keep tight . they like to rattle out or loosen up
  4. i had a k1500 pick up which had the 4.3 (tbi) at one time , thought about trying to find more power , didn't find very much for the 4.3 as far as performance parts . plenty of stuff for 350's. as far as i know the 350 and the 4.3 will share the same bell housing . my understanding is the 4.3 was the result of removing 2 cyl of a v8 . my hunch is that to get some ponies out of a 4.3 would be a big project , the kind that involves some learning . always thought it would be fun to build a turbo v6 though . if you were going to put a vortech 350 in a blazer i would look for an engine and tranny out of a gmc or chevy 2500 because the tranny is more likely to be a 4l80e which is a beefier trans
  5. well imagine spending double the gas of your blazer , vans are kind of the best of both worlds as far space and practicability . my friend has an 00 expedition sitting on 17" tires and he sees 16-19 mpg depending on conditions
  6. i don't know if i am lucky or something but with my 95 with a tbi 350 i got about 15-16 mpg in the warmer seasons but dipped down to 12 in winter and my 96 with the vortech got a consistent 16 even with a pop-up camper behind it .
  7. i have had 2 suburbans and loved them both , but at 12-16 mpg i could not swing it . as for the truck you are looking at i think 1750 is on the high side with out knowing more about the vehicle $130 to fill tank at current prices and the tank will drain just as fast as a vehicle with a smaller tank
  8. just curious , is any one counting the strands to guess to say it looks more like 4 gauge ?
  9. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elite-Audio-EA-KIT0-0-AWG-Gauge-Complete-Amplifier-Amp-Installation-Wiring-Kit-/300713502654?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4603ebe7be&vxp=mtr#ht_1890wt_1270
  10. see if you can find this company listed with the bbb that website says busy can't get to it , but i did see .uk at the end of the web address which makes me wonder if this isn't a forien company going on ponds or euro dollars
  11. a 10 " table may be useful for cutting smaller pieces but i think what you want for larger pieces is a circular saw with a rip guide , assuming you are on a budget like many otherwise you might want something like this
  12. i would think the 15 would give you a bigger sound , and the tens might be punchier if you want to get an idea of what the t1 will do check out rf's website its kind of cool http://rats.rockfordfosgate.com/
  13. it's in the plans , just not sure what i want to get to run them . i run out amp really quick at 85 watts rms of yamaha power . can still jam though
  14. planet audio bb (big bang)
  15. i am amazed at the junk people try to sell on ebay

  17. i too am on a budget and i have leaning towards used rf amps lately .
  18. investment . although i have been kind of cheap about it all , buy a lot on ebay and used gear here and there a lot of times i actually make a small profit on some of the gear i buy and sell . got a pair of older alpine type r 10's in a prefab box off ebay for $48 to my door last year
  19. thought this was cool and worth posting http://jeep-xj.info/HowtoMAPsensor.htm
  20. wow i don't think i have ever seen that many layers of shingles before , i think most codes 3 layers is when you SHOULD tear off . in minnesota , that with a snow load likes to bring the roof down sometimes . looking good
  21. i don't think there is any need for any elaborate break in on speakers of any kind , although you may find that some speakers just keep getting better as time goes on
