    rear drum removal

    Same problem I had when I first bought my car, the shoes wore a lip in the rotor and refused to come off so I manually loosened the adjuster from the inside, and then beat it off. When you get it be sure to check for the lip because it will do that every time unless you install a new drum, which...

    going to be putting a pretty big amp in my car...

    I would (and am) just replace your alternator to battery wire with at least 4 gauge, also do the engine to chassis and battery to chassis ground with 4 gauge wire, and run the red or yellow optima battery, I am picking up my yellow top tomorrow, or just find a good deep cycle battery, didn't see...

    going to be putting a pretty big amp in my car...

    I would go for a second battery, capacitors are just bandaid fixes, there is still strain on your electrical system, battery and alternator, you just don't see it because the amp is pulling the stored power from the capacitor, I literally just read a write up from jl audio about using capacitors...

    Supercharger hp question

    If your going supercharger I would recommend 3.42 or 3.73 over the 4.11's. You'll be out of gear when the charger gets happy.

    Supercharger hp question

    I would guess around 370-375 if your at 300 now. Type of charger will make a good difference also, what type of charger are you planning to run?

    head gasket question

    Agreed, the gasket has already been compressed. Once compressed you don't really need to re-use them, you (could) re-use it but you will not get as good of a seal as a new gasket will give.

    Sweet car collection, almost all GM though

    Totally agree, no use having something if you don't use it, and the once a year ride is nowhere worth it for those cars, yeah there nice but not worth it to me, if they were mine I would truthfully sell almost all of them, and not even near the collector price at that. Would definitely have to...

    What is this called? 02 F150

    Sorry, posted before I uploaded the pics to photobucket, here is the pic, all I can think of it being called is a chip guard but I can't find one anywhere on the internet. Will probably just hit up the jy for one. There is a little rust down there also but that can be taken care of fairly easy...

    What is this called? 02 F150

    I am looking at buying an 02 4X4 f150 regular cab, it is missing a piece of plastic on the bed and was wondering if any one here could tell me what it is called so I can order a replacement, if not I'm sure the junkyard will have one I could just pull off but would rather order a new one, it is...
