4 day season? I want a muzzle loader.
Yup - 4 days to get a doe if you didn't use your tag during gun season. I've been eyeing up muzzleloaders, but want a new bow/shotgun first.

I am landing in Austin on the 19th. I used to live in Kyle, Tx for 10 years. I have some family in Austin and the rest over near Bass Drop. I am pumped. First time buying a vehicle and first time for a truck and diesel at that.
Looking mostly at Ford 99-03 7.3s and some 2001-2007 Duramax's

skrillex sucks. badly. Deadmau5, Knife Party or Daft Punk would be my first choice.
The whole town just bumps hard. Every single person in that town has a tahoe with 4 18s in back on like 10k all day.

Anyone want to convince me on which setup I should go with? Turbo m20, or turbo m5x in the e30. I want around 350whp on pump gas, and something I can drive every day. Also want to keep the build from unecessary expenses.
I already have a clutch, and a turbo, and surge tank. Main expensive things are 1)picking a motor and 2)turbo manifold. Which is probably the biggest issue for me so far. I'm not sure If I want to spend the time to build a full twin scroll manifold for a 24v e30, just for 400whp. An m20 turbo manifold twin scroll adapter seems very appealing and very quick.Here is some of my concerns from BF.C thread.

^^^Yup,the question is what do you do with that 500whp in the E30
I have 255 R-comps,proper suspension,E36 M3 brakes and whatnot.With 400/400 it is handfull to drive,but if I remove the wing it is downright dangerous with 300/300.No rear grip whatsoever.What is funny,I brought my wife's new to her '09 Z4 to the track.With 225F/245R Bridgestone runflats and adaptive supension this car has more grip than my [not] fully sorted E30 with R-comps
Ok,almost.Thats exactly why I can't justify m5x in my attempt at daily driving a turbo e30. I just want something to have fun with, and that is somewhat reliable, at around 350whp which is perfectly reasonable for an m20 on pump gas. I feel like if I put an m52 in there, I would end up making 500+ and ruin the whole daily driven aspect.
But the other idea is pump gas + stock compression unopened m52 with studs, and try to make 350-400whp with meth injection? the appealing part is that I have an entire m50 swap sitting in the garage with mounts and all, but a headgasket job on a m50 will basically put me out a couple weeks of driving haha. With an m20, I can have a new head on within a couple hours. And the m50 turbo manifold is a PITA compared to the real simple manifold adapter.
MAN I'm bad at this.
