Stop in for a cup of coffee

Yes, you have pneumonia and DON"T mess around with it! You are on a razors edge and need to take it seriously...it CAN kill you.

No **** Chris, this is no joking matter. Trust me, it can seriously damage your lungs for the rest of your life...or kill you before it does.

Remember this, if you don't take it seriously (like your life depends on it) and it kills you...I will personally make it a point to bring the entire coffee club crew to piss on your grave and spray paint 'dumbass' on your headstone!

That'll be a long flight, I put in my will I wanted buried in the moon, they have to do that right?

Seriously though, I know it can be bad, lost an old highschool classmate a year ago to it, never even knew he had it, just collapsed at work one day.

And after my grandmother dealt with it a couple weeks ago, I get to do the same. I'll be fine. Wife is just mad cause I didn't go a week ago when she tried making me then.

Nah, just because it's in your will doesn't mean they have to do it...it's a 'request' in the eyes of the law (final requests)

Take good care of yourself and don't push, get healthy first...then rebuild.

Any time you feel the desire to push too hard and dismiss the risk, remember this...

It should also be noted that 2 compressors in series that provide a 10:1 compression ratio make 100:1 boost using 2x the power that the 10:1 first compressor uses...but a single compressor that makes 100:1 boost uses 10x the power that a 10:1 compressor uses.

A twin over/under blower uses less than half the power to drive it to any given boost than a single unit does, and each component part undergoes far less stress than a single unit would.

Bottom line...twin unit blowers make the same power using less drive energy and are far more durable than a single unit is.

It's kinda the same reason that manufacturers use twin turbos for better performance and better longevity. (although those systems split the drive power, but a similar idea)

nice
 
so just for gits and shiggles I looked up some info on my engine - built by Hensley Performance in Knoxville, Tn. According to the paper work I have and their website, my 408 was at least 498HP @ 6000rpm. I have noticed some deviation from the description of what I have and what the catalog is showing (possible upgrades?), but that is the base # for their 408 small block. -- I got a RWHP # of just over 300 when I went to the dyno last year.. looks like I have some work to do...
 
Yes it is Friday Mike3 , I think I will shake the tree here today and call my two sons and have a round table :poke: let them know I am going to get my 360 to the shop this weekend so I can put my new A body oil pan on (Take the truck pan off) and lube the bottom end good and start putting my new water pump, timing chain on and prep it for the install.
Move my hood in my shop so I can prep it for new paint, sell my odd and end parts and buy paint for inner fenders and fire wall and hood...

I have been waiting long enough boys :poke:... WTF !! who am I kidding :wtf: am I thinking !! We will see :drama:

I need to Mike, but the winter has been good to my younger son 34 year old, building new homes (8 in 13 weeks) he frames and puts all the decking and ply wood on and moves on to the next build next door, there are 40 units going in.
Mikie my oldest (36 Teacher) can be there I would think.. ... We will see..
