A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he took his seat, he glanced upward and beheld the most stunning woman entering the aircraft. Swiftly, he recognized that she was making her way directly toward his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his:
Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out. "Business trip or pleasure?"
She turned, smiled and said. "Business. I’m going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston."
He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen Sitting next to him and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs!
Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked. “What’s your Business at this convention?"
“Lecturer." She responded. "I use information that I have learned from my Personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."
“Really?” He said. “And what kind of myths are there?”
“Well.” She explained. “One popular myth is that African-American men are The most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is That Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Mexican Descent who are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with Absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck."
Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed.. "I’m Sorry." She said, “I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don’t even know your name."
"Tonto." The man said. "Tonto Gonzales, but my friends call me Bubba." ...........

Turbo(s) whistling. After watching C8 for a while my main concern with adding power would be also modifying the DCT to hold up. It appears to me the OEM C8 DCT is similar to the GM 1/2 ton trucks with 4L60E - barely adequate until you start actually banging on it. I know the huge majority don't have issues, but there are certainly enough who do to know you might end up with a problem. New technology to GM that hopefully is getting over the teething pains as they continue to learn/improve it.

heck they should have had Allison build the tranny for the C8..... those thing take a licking and keep on ticking...... in all the Duramax's I have owned and I have pulled some very heavy trailers, never once had any issue with the Allison..... or the Duramax engine...... so somebody shoehorn one of those setups in a C8.....

perfect spring day here in the land of corn..... shop cleaning day and I got a new taller carb linkage bracket for the Polara.... so will install that..... to much angle with the stock bracket..... Edelbrock Performer manifolds are tall...... got a fan shroud coming to increase the cooling from the fan..... slowly getting the car more streetable......

live large Hammers........

Still been working at the son's house every day. Got almost all of the immediate things done. Need to change a light switch, then add a breaker in the electric panel, run wiring, water line, buy a dishwasher, set it in place, hook it up, and build a cabinet around it.

So far, with about 3600 miles on the C8, no issues with the DCT.
