Well, paint will burn off within 10 minutes of starting the truck up. Wait and save more money up.

my question is, can i hook the multispark box up like https://dodgeforum.com/forum/diy-do-...shott8283.html

and also should i get some locking fasteners for the headers, and should i sand and repaint them with high heat paint?
whats up with the #7 cylinders pipe having the big curve in it and the #8 cylinders pipe not having a curve at all? i haven't seen that on a set of headers before.

just drop the tailgate and put a strap on the snowmobile and you'll be fine.

tip: those 3/8" chain link connectors are pretty nice when attached to the front tie down points because you can put bigger hooks on there. the chain link will lay flat in the hole and when you need it you can pull it up and you don't have to cram a straps hook into the factory tie down point.

Normal high heat won't work. I tried the 1200 **** or what ever it is and it burnt off

Beings I no longer run at the fire house across the street. I actually have to drive a good bit where I'm running now. I look forward to driving the truck and using my lights again
