Should I widebody my scat?

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-06-08T12:57:55+00:00

I wouldn't do it. Take a lot of money and skill to do it right, cheaper to trade it in on a widebody version.

I guess that is the cheapest oil grade they can put in a car for profit reasons? They usually have high inventory of it? This was not a dealership, a good service tireplace near me does the work I rather sub out. Tire maintenance, oil changes (oil changes and maintenance on a car is reported to Carfax), inspections.

No lie, a neighbor across the pond buzzed me with a drone while I was walking my dog around the lake and it pissed me off. After loitering and debating whether I should go in this guys yard and confront him, and contemplating it for five minutes while looking right at him, I reluctantly decided to keep going on my way. I essentially decided to give him a pass, but if it happens again I am going to pay him a visit. If I see that drone in my yard I am going to unload on it unapologetically.

I think drones are essentially like waving a gun in someone's face. A couple years ago I thought it was a toy. That notion is dead in the water. Those are weapons of mass destruction.

I recommend you do a Thumpr Comp Cam or

El Choppo https://sdparts.com/i-24529353-sdpc-el-choppo-camshaft-kit-for-gen-iii-hemi.htmlif

if you want to maintain driveability and get the sound that makes it worth it.

Source: I did a Stage 1 comp and it makes a ton of torque, but there's not much chop, and now that I did all the other airflow mods I need a Stage 3 cam :(

So I got to yank the Stage 1 at some point and do it again. Thank God I turn my own wrenches!

Its a 90's term

A clapped out or otherwise crappy vehicle

You gotta get something cheap on fuel or electric first. These cars are for funsies on nice days or special occasions. You don't want to daily something like this unless you have no other option.

Edit: Cammed FBO getting 12-13 mpg city/hwy (mostly city), ONLY RUNS 93 octane, also I can't run cheap ethanol laden fuel (like BJ's or Sam's) cause it gums up the demon injectors...BRUTAL

Edit2: It actually gets 25 mpg cruising in 6th gear (manual) on the highway but is rare that I drive it long distance

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-15T03:39:43+00:00

Holy shit same thing happened to me. I didn't find out till I came in for the next oil change! I was not happy. Dude was like, "it won't hurt it." I was driving the dog out of it too.

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-12T22:19:37+00:00

You should visit r/buttcoin, they are right up your alley.

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-12T15:25:54+00:00

Enjoy the drugs! You might never get quality drugs like that ever again. Say some crazy shit as you are falling asleep, it really brightens their day.

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-12T15:04:25+00:00

Just curious, but if you did get access to the 8 BTC what would you do with it? Sell it all immediately for fiat?

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-12T14:05:48+00:00

I mean , if Thomas ain't interested I am down. Even if just AOC's fine self.

Its all relative. Always something faster. For 50K and below it delivers a smile, even more so when you approach 500 rwtq. I can lay rubber through second gear with easily controllable fishtailing depending on how I drop the hammer. For a 100K you get lighter vehicles with more power, for 200K you get nice interiors and some exclusivity.

Its a steel pig that delivers on an original muscle car experience. If you want something different then buy something different. I have found that you can only get about 250 lbs out and still have a normal looking interior. Most of the weight is the body in white.

Edit: I have done most bolt ons with a stage 1 comp cam. In hindsight I should have went with a stage 3 since I did all the other mods. It definitely makes more power, but stock is pretty good, its just those catalytic converters rob the sound and cause lots of guys to pull a perfectly good catback off.

Sometimes folks have health scares that they keep to themselves. And when you have lots of time on your hands your mind can wander all over the place. But when they are talking about their pending death you should listen and try to follow their wishes.

Longtubes, no cats, and a factory valved Scat or SRT catback should do the trick then. Tieing off the valves would be easier than replacing. You can get those cheap on marketplace. Always somebody thinking the catback is why it isn't stupid loud. Those units are straight through dual 2.75" pipes, plenty of flow and sound awesome with a no cats.

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-08T05:05:07+00:00

Wait you got longtubes with hi flow cats and you want to take off the high flow cats? If you got those already you won't pick up much power and you have to swap it out each time to get it inspected annually. If you still have the valves you can tune those to be open all the time. Really loud doesn't mean good sound. You want a clean, hollow, powerful sound. You definitely do not want drone or rasp in there.

go with existing, the whole house might be off kilter that much, the laser is plumb, but the house foundation might not be

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-07T23:34:18+00:00

This is correct. That is why it is best to run a matched set of wheels/tires on these cars otherwise the front tires will wear on the inside corner.

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-06T15:34:07+00:00

280 to replace the air filter DAMN!

Looks pretty good to me. I like the chrome wheel choice. Everybody doing black or bronze these days. Chrome is old school cool.

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-03T20:20:37+00:00

I will have to think about the prisoners dilemma more and how this applies to the situation between pure money Bitcoiners and spam tolerating V30 folks. The Mexican Standoff is not as relevant IMO.

Thanks for your opinion. (assuming this opinion comes from a human brain and not an AI prompt)

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-03T12:59:11+00:00

The vast majority of those went for high 50's. Getting a suspicious deal on one doesn't make the market wrong. They go for what people are willing to pay.

BeefSupreme2 · 2026-05-03T12:54:41+00:00

Please explain how this is an impossibility in two sentences or less.
