I may have spoke too soon. The guy was to put $200 earnest money in my paypal but then emailed me just now and said he is $2k short on his loan value from the bank. I have a guy coming from Houston on Monday and he said he will buy it so we shall see. If I do sell it then I have a Gen 1 waiting for me. If not then I'll keep the truck untill it is paid off and the new house will just have to wait a while.

Post up your truck and I will email a link to the guys that I have been dealing with. I just turned down a potential buyer that was driving up tomorrow from Houston to check out the truck and I told him about yours. I have decided to pay mine off and keep it.

Why the change?
It's a pain in the butt. Between showing the house every other day and driving to Waco to show the truck and the guy telling me he is buying it and then trying to work out the deal and getting with the bank etc and then him backing out plus scheduling a time for other people to drive up from other cities it's just a pain. I just don't feel like starting the whole process over again with a new party. More trouble than it's worth to me. Plus I think I'd regret it if I sold it so I'll hold out on the new house a little longer and pay off the truck. This way I'll have more to put down anyways.

Sad Sad Day. The new owner came and picked up my pride and joy and it is on it's way to Houston. :o At least I have a clean 95 to play around with. I ended up getting 24k for it, the man who bought it is letting his son buy it from him for 10k but he is going to detune it a bit. The son is an 18 year old kid with who has never had any tickets and he plans on using it as his daily driver to college. He's gonna have one of the sweetest rides at his school no doubt. I just hope he takes care of it as good as I did.

Actually when you know what you want and know lightnings very well and find a one as clean as Adam's you have to jump on it.
I actually bought it for my son and the first time I see him not takin care of the truck like he is supposed to it goes in my garage and the wife and I will have a new play toy because she loves driving bad boy.

Some might or might not remember me but along with Jason Brown I was the second Gen 1 to break into the 9 seconds years ago (10 to be close )
I have been very lucky with my son and him being responsible otherwise I would not have bought the truck plus he was wanting a Dodge Charger and damn sure could not let that happen.
Anyway he wants log onto the clubs including the Halo club and start going to some of the meets
Thanks again adam for taking such good care of the truck

Without a Doubt, he is getting upset because his Mom wants to keep driving his truck instead of her 350Z.
MMmmm I wonder who will win that battle !!! sure will not be him.
I have been very fortunate with him, being responsible and making good grades in school but not that College will start I think that is when my worrying will really start, not having mom and Dad saying no no no !!!
but yes everyone is happy. I think I will only detune it to about 12 to 13 pounds of boost and evertything should be ok.

What's going to prevent him from boosting it back up? Once he logs into the forums, he will find out how to make it faster in real short order.

Calhoun687

Very True.
Dad holds the purse string and the only place that he could boost it up and tune it again is a close friend and he will let me know.
plus he loves the truck so much and at 17 pounds of boost he is very aware that the stock block will not hold that kind of boost for very long and their is no way he is going to blow the motor knowing he will have to fix it and not have transportation.
We are only bringing it down to 12 or 13 pounds of boost is all anything more is just asking for trouble with him and he knows it.
I am pretty lucky though he does not hide things from me ( believe it or not) if he wants to bump it up he will come to me about it.

I wouldn't call that luck... I'd call it a combination of good parenting, development of a very healthy/good relationship with your son, and a responsible young man.

I hope to say the same thing in a couple of short years when my son gets to that age. So far, so good, and I'm working hard to continue on that path.

Yes it is true. We lowered the boost down not because of any other issue but to make sure we will not hurt the block when he steps on it.
The base line before we tuned it 424 Hp and 473 Tq with a mild tune, the boost started at 14 and slowly moved up to just under 17.

We changed only the upper pulley and boost went from 14 down to 10 but slowly edged up to around 13.

Final Hp 416 and Torque was 454
