Turbo up pipes while your in there ......
Now would be the time. Wish I was ready for it. Eventually it will get a turbo and up pipes.

I did do the ebpv delete with the pedestal. It was starting to leak. Also did the riffraff regulated return and upgraded fuel lines on the heads. Made a big difference on startup and mid to top end power.

With a 65hp tune and the stock lines the stock clutch held fine. After the fuel lines it slipped the clutch on the same tune. Kind of surprised me.
 
Future astronauts and engineers. I had no clue Uganda had a space program.

I think they missed a few fundamental concepts there like lift coefficient and wing area against total mass, tail volume ratio, CG in relation to the mean chord, power to weight ratio and control authority. For starters.

The irony here is that there are dozens of really good freshmen level courses online in aerospace engineering that cover all of these.

How on earth the African Continent has lost all the technology without which we whites would never have invented anything is beyond me...

The design with the slotted flap/wing is actually a way of generating a lot of lift with out flow separation. It's actually damn impressive he came that close to a ingenious design for low speed flight.

Rc aircraft using the principle properly.

Just saying... Adi Amin would be proud.

If your going to swap the turbo in the future it's easy enough to do the uppipes then. The 38r ball bearing is great with 160cc single shots. I kinda miss my 7.3
 
Never pass out first! I passed out first during a night of drinking games early on in my time in the Corps and thought the massive hangover was my only problem as I stood in company formation the next morning... I grew increasingly concerned as I kept hearing stifled laughter from the ranks behind me. Turns out my buddies had sharpied an impressive cock-n-balls on the back of my head and it was peeking out from under my cover. Took a while to live that one down.

My favorite was to blacken the eyelids only. That way the victim didn’t know he’d been “chiefed” for hours after he woke up.

I was kinda good at it.

This is my third 7.3L. Been looking at kc turbos. Not sure where I'll end up injector wise. The goal is 400hp to the ground. Not going crazy with this one. Just a good reliable daily that's somewhat up to current power levels.

Had a built 6.0L in the past. After about two years, and 100k at 650hp, I'd been through several fuel pumps, and it was time for injectors again. Those parts just don't hang with oem for reliability. I'm going to stay as close to stock as I can with this one. This 7.3 is a late 99, so it may have the powder metal rods in it. They tend to bend around the 450hp mark if your tuning isn't on point. Valve train needs upgrades at that point also, and I'm just not looking to go that deep with this one.

Have a friend that was really drunk and passed out and her husband shaved her eye brows off 😳
It took her a while to figure out what happened. She failed to see the humor in it , almost got a divorce because of his fun 😀 Reckon she got over it ?
