your piece of the rock on ThinkTech, Hawaii. I'm your host, Abe Lee. I have been licensed as a real estate agent since 1973. I'm the owner of Century 21, our properties, Hawaii, and work with close to 100 wonderful real estate agents in sales. I started Abe Lee seminars in 1980. I have taught over 11,000 students to get their real estate licenses and taught continuing education classes to the licensees to help them to maintain their real estate license every two years. Our show is dedicated to helping buyers and sellers understand the process involved in real estate transactions. Our special guests will talk about legal issues, escrow, title, getting a loan, surveys, home inspections, insurance, contracts, wills and trusts, and much, much more.  So his name is Mike Bates, a good friend of mine, and a wonderful person. So Mike, thank you so much for being with us today. Happy to be here. Great. So we're going to start off, as we normally do, tell us a little bit about your background, where you're from, and where you grew up, your education, family, et cetera. OK. Well, I was born way back in the last century in Seattle, Washington, lived there briefly. My mom was from Hawaii, and my dad was from California. And they got married and had me there. And I lived about 18 years of my life in the mainland, and then moved to Hawaii on the big island, where my mom is originally from. And from then on, that was about 1980. And I've lived here on various islands, primarily Oahu ever since. So tell us about your background, because your work background is very interesting. OK. I majored in accounting at the University of Hawaii. After you major in accounting, the next step is to pass a CPA exam and then get a job working in a CPA firm to eventually earn your CPA license. And I did that in the early late 70s, early 80s, early 90s. And I eventually got licensed. And working in a CPA firm is that you learn a lot, and you also work a lot. And a lot of people, like myself, when they get the CPA license, they go off into private practice working as a chief financial officer for a company. And I worked for two companies. I worked for a company that owned what used to be the Kaluakoi Resort on Molokai. And then I started off in Honolulu working for that company. And as the Japanese investment bubble popped, I was physically relocated to Molokai for a few years. And that was cool, but it was also pretty rough being away from friends and family for Monday through Friday. And then I came back here and I worked for a trucking company for a few years. And I had my CPA license, or sorry, real estate license from 1994. And around 2000, I just figured I'm going to go into real estate because CPA work is too hard. For the amount of money you make, you really got to work hard. Oh, good.  Yeah, the Kaluakoi Resort had land to sell. And the owners wanted me to get my real estate license just for general knowledge. I didn't do any sales there. But that was a blessing in disguise because as I eventually got burned out on working for private companies and CPA firms, I was ready to move into selling real estate. OK. So when you got your real estate license, where do you start off? And what has been your progression in your real estate career? I started off not doing very much for quite a while and just primarily friends and family, a couple of transactions a year when I was lucky. And around that time, real estate internet activity was just picking up. And I got the idea to get leads by building a real estate website. And there were just a handful of companies that had good websites at that point in time. So I did that. And it was not very hard at that time because there wasn't a lot of competition. So I had some pretty good years with real estate leads. And I still have a website and still get leads. It's not the same as before, though, because almost every real estate has a website now. But I know you specialize in featuring special neighborhoods at a time, like Palo Lo or Kailua or Kani Ohi. And I know you got a lot of leads because people were interested in those areas. So really, you're one of the pioneers in doing website blogging, so to speak. Yeah, I could say that I didn't invent the ideas. But I've emulated them and copied them. And as you know, there was a time when I had a lot of business in Makaha. I did a lot of. I remember one month I did about eight sales in Makaha. They were small, so I didn't give a chop of them. But it's good to have business and then hopefully pick up some of those when the owners decide to sell, when the buyers become sellers. And so I've gotten a lot of business from people coming back. And Palo Lo, yes, I specialize in Palo Lo. I have a lot of knowledge about Palo Lo because I've lived there for 16 years. Also, I'm getting more and more information about Hawaiian homelands. And those are pretty tough because of finding qualified buyers, not only financially, but on Hawaiian ancestry. And there's just a lot of issues. Dealing with the Department of Hawaiian Homelands is very difficult. So it's challenging to get the job done. And the clients are really appreciative, though. Sure, you're right. Good. So Mike, tell me what's some important things that you do when you work with a client? Because they understand that you're a CPA, so there must be a degree of trust. Because they did a Gallup poll years ago, and CPAs were considered to be one of the most trustworthy professions, along with pharmacists, if you can believe it. But what do you do when you meet with a client? I don't necessarily tell them I'm a CPA right away because some people already have accountants and have been, or they might have the information on their mind already, or they already have an accountant advising them. If they have questions about, for example, the capital gain exclusion, how long you have to live in the house before you can sell it and qualify for the capital gain exclusion, then I'll tell them that. And a lot of times people aren't clear about 1031 exchanges. They think they can sell their residents in 1031 exchange into another residence. And so I'll help them, and then I'll ease into the CPA. And another big thing is HARPDA. Any non-resident, US resident who's not a Hawaii resident is generally, there are exceptions, but they're generally subject to HARPDA. Which blows them away. And I explained that HARPDA is almost always too high. I've never had someone who I worked on their HARPDA refund where they didn't get a refund. They're never under withheld. They're over withheld. The HARPDA rate is 7.25% of the selling price of the home. Yeah, so the federal government with the FERPTA is about 15%. And then there's another 7.25%. So the consumer, I'm not a consumer, but the foreigner gets whacked for a huge amount, and they usually will get a refund unless they bought it really early and they have tremendous appreciation. But if they don't have that, then they'll get refund. Yes, that's right. Yeah, good. So at least you specialize in that area. So Mike, what do you advise your clients as far as record keeping is concerned? Because I know in real estate as anything else with a business that you have to keep good records. What kind of records do you recommend that say, owner occupants keep? And then let's go to owner investors. Okay, owner occupants keep your purchase, or the closing statement from when you purchase a property and keep records of your improvements that you make on the property. And what else? Those are probably the big things that I can think of off the top of my head. For investor, it's different because you're going to have depreciation and you wanna keep accurate records of your depreciation because depreciation on a rental property is 27.5 years. So if you buy a property a day and you sell it 15, 20 years from now, you might not have all those depreciation records and that can be a problem when you come to calculating your gain because the depreciation is a annual deduction from your net income. And as that accumulates, that's called accumulated depreciation. So what you have over, for example, 10 years, if you have $1,000 depreciation a year and then you sell after 10 years and you have $10,000 of accumulated depreciation and that is subtracted from your basis. Your basis is the cost of the home plus improvements and then you subtract depreciation, accumulated depreciation. If you don't have that information that could trigger an audit, if you don't include the accumulated depreciation in your calculations when you sell. So let's get this straight then. I'm an owner-occupant. My cost, let's say I bought it for $200,000. Then I put $50,000 improvements into it. So now we got 250 grand basis then and that's your cost basis, right? Correct. And then if I started for $500,000, then the gain, the tax on the gain is from $350,000 to $500,000. Is that correct? Yeah, so that'd be $150,000. Right, now attention, yeah. So Clinton, when he was president, get this one, not one time, but homeowner's exemption of a gain for single people and for married people and how much is that deduction worth and tax-free money? I credit you for remembering who was the president. That's fine. Yeah, so the capital gain exclusion for single persons is $250,000 and for married is double that, $500,000. The requirement is that out of the past five years you must have lived there at least two years. So you could have lived there the first two years you bought the home and rented it out for three or vice versa or you could have just lived there the whole five years but you have to have had two years of residency. So if you're looking for the $500,000 exclusion, then both persons, husband and wife or whoever the two owners are, have had to live there at least two years. Now there are some exceptions. They're very rare. I can't recall what they were off hand. I think it was like family issues and things like that where people were allowed to get the full capital gain exclusion, but I wouldn't rely on that. So the general rule is two out of the last five years at a minimum of residency. So let's take this house again, $350,000 with 300 basis, $50,000 sale, right? What happens is I sell it for $500,000, so $150,000 is free, tax-free, right? Now, can I do that again and again? You can do that every two years. Wow. After you sell it, you cannot take that exclusion again for two years, but if you're selling the home today and you can't take it for two years, if you buy another home today, then it's gonna take two years of residency anyways before you qualify for the capital gain exclusion. So that means that you can do this every two years and report the gain and Uncle Sam cannot tax you. Yeah, well, it's called an exclusion, yeah. So that portion is excludable from taxable income. So you can do that every two years, every time if you have gains. Right. That's wonderful. That's better than the old tax law. It is. Probably nobody but you and me remembers your own rules. Okay, and if they put any improvements, of course, that's deductible. It's not an expense, but you add it to the basis. Correct. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but there's two things that you can deduct from your personal residence and understand it was what your interest deduction and your property taxes. Although it's the only two items that we can deduct on an annual basis from our tax returns. For residence, yes. Yeah, that's all that come to my, those are the big ones. Mortgage interest and property taxes. Mortgage insurance also for people who have mortgage insurance. Ah, yeah. So those are deductible on schedule A of your form 1040. Okay, I didn't know that one. Okay, now let's go to investors then. So let's say the investor buys something for say 300,000 again. Now, do you have to then determine as an accountant, as a homeowner, how much is attributable to the building portion and to the land portion and why is that important in the depreciation scheme? Okay, land is not depreciable. So if you're an investor, then you're only gonna depreciate the building portion of the property. And that usually works out well, at least here in Hawaii because if you, if your depreciation causes you to show a net loss, if you have such a large depreciation number that it's a net loss, that doesn't really do you any good. So you're close, you're better off just breaking even or having showing a small profit. And another thing is, if you have that high depreciation, then when you go to sell the property, you're gonna have a lower basis because you depreciate it, your accumulated depreciation is higher. And I've had some people who have been really stung by that that they had their own accountant do it their way. And then they said, I just had this happen this year where they had their own accountant doing a high rate of depreciation. And then their basis was really low when they sold the investment property. So I was calculating their heart to refund and it wasn't that much because, because the basis was getting pretty low comparable, compared to what they paid for it. So let's talk about the depreciation for investors because that's a huge tax deduction. So if I depreciate the building value over so many years, and I think you said 27 and a half years for residential property. That's right. Is that 39 years for non-residential property that you depreciate? You got me. I'd have to look it up there. There is a 39 year depreciation that applies to something, but I haven't done it in so long. So basically rental, residential rental, you're gonna do 27.5 years. So let's say we were 27 and a half years, and we depreciated the full amount out and then I sell it. So there's a gain on the purchase price to the sales price, but there's also a depreciation recapture then for the amount that you depreciated over the years. And a lot of people don't know that, do they? Yeah, they don't. So we'll go on an extreme example. Let's say that you buy a property and you own it for 28 years. So in that, in that case, you've fully depreciated the building though. So the land is not depreciable. That's included in the purchase price and the purchase price includes the land and the building. So the building portion will be fully depreciated. And typically I kind of choose the building value based on property tax records. I look at the ratio of the building to land and sometimes if the land is too low, then I'll just arbitrarily, I'll come up with some formula and say maybe 50, 50 or less because yeah, I don't want to see somebody depreciating too much because what if you have like $5,000 loss every year that doesn't, IRS might look at that and go, why are you renting out a property and showing a loss every year? And then it comes back to buy you because after 28 years that assigned value on your building is going to be zero. So your basis will just be basically the land and perhaps any improvements that you made on the property which add to your increase your adjusted basis. So depreciation records are really important and the client has to tell you what they bought it at and then you got to figure out, okay, at what value, what percent of the purchase is attributable to the building and to the land and then keep an annual record of the depreciation that you've taken, right? That's right. And over, it seems like it's not a big deal but over, if people don't keep their tax returns and other information 10, 15 years from now they might have no idea. So now I've heard some people say, okay, let's go to you talked about the 1030 on exchange as a means of not paying taxes but actually deferring taxes. And that's the difference. It's not tax free, but it's tax deferred. Uncle Sam will get the taxes sometime. That's right. But yeah, so are some people, they depreciated building out completely and it's a really expensive property. Do they do an exchange just to avoid the depreciation recapture? They do, but then as you had mentioned you're deferring it, which means you're postponing that capital gain.  So when you sell it, it's not gonna be a higher amount. It's gonna be the same.  So ultimately, if people have, if people intend to pass property onto their relatives then I would recommend they hang onto them and when they pass away, then they get what they call and what is the name of that? A step up in basis. Yeah, so then they have a step up in basis and on the day that the owner passes away now a person inheriting the property isn't gonna run out to an appraiser on the day that their loved one passes away but they keep track of that date and then they call an appraiser and have the property appraised and that will be their step up basis. And then whenever they sell it and obviously a home bought 30 years ago might have been a $100,000 price tag which and it might be a million dollar now. So if somebody has that step up basis then they can sell the property and have minimal or no capital gains pass. Okay, so let's go to this. This is really important that I think some people don't know. So you bought at $300,000, it goes up to million at the time of death of the parents and then there's an appraisal done called death appraisal. And so it goes up to a hundred grand on value. So the kids the next year sell it for a million. There was a gain from $300,000 to a million but because you get a step up, the IRS says, hey, you sold it for a million, there's no tax. That's right. Is that right? Correct. Oh, wow. So we should tell our clients, go ahead Mike. That's really good. And sometimes you'll see people going, now if they need the money, they need the money the owner of the house, but if they don't sometimes they're thinking, I should sell this before I die which is not a good tax strategy. It's better off to hold on to it, have it in a trust or I guess a very clearly written will.  And then they'll get stepped up basis and not have to pay taxes on it. So that's really an important tax angle that you can give clients advice on probably better than a normal Joe Blow real estate. Yes. So I'm a firm believer. I'll tell my agents, my clients talk to a CPA because I know it has to be dangerous, but I'm not a CPA. So you need to talk to a CPA, right? So I try and keep it, I just give them the basics because I don't wanna stick my leg too far into the mud and get tied up on something later, find out that something didn't apply to their particular situation. Sure. So really real estate becomes a very complicated process if you are not careful and you don't keep records, right? Yeah. That's right. Okay, so I have a few more questions, Mike. So we know that there's taxes when you've sell your personal residence, but 250 grand for a single person, half a million for a married couple, there's no tax. But then for the investor, if they sell something and it's appreciated, then if they sell that property, say from the bar for $300,000, so for a million and then they buy something equal or higher in value, then they defer the taxes. Is that correct? If they do a 1031 exchange, yes. Yeah, okay. Another interesting thing that I'd like to add is that if let's say if they, their property is, they sell for a million, but they don't wanna buy something more expensive than they can still do the 1031 exchange, but on the difference, they will pay the tax. So for example, they sell a million dollar property and they roll it into a $900,000 property. It still qualifies for the exchange, but part of that sales proceeds will be subject to capital gains tax. Which will be a little bit of best of both worlds because you got 900 grand that went into tax deferred or tax delayed and you pay tax on 100 grand, but hey, you got some cash. Right, and you can get the property you want and you're not just looking for something that costs more. Right. And I think you made a good point is that some people think that they can trade their exchange, their personal residence into an exchange and you cannot. Is that right? Right. Yeah, cause people think, oh yeah, I'm gonna mirror exchange, I'm gonna move into that house. I tell them, excuse me, you need to talk to an accountant cause I don't think you can do that. And there's special rules about converting an investment property and exchanging it and then moving in and become your personal residence. Yeah, as far as I know, there is no exact rule, but the rule of thumb is that if you do a 1031 exchange, so your investment property into another investment property, use the new one, you should continue using it as an investment property for at least a year before you decide to move in and change it over to being a personal residence. Now I've been told that we only have a few more minutes, but I wanna talk about your love and your passion for dogs. Cause you donate a lot of money out of your commissions to a nonprofit called Hope for Dogs Rescue. Is that right? Yes. Tell me how that works. Okay, so Hope for Dogs Rescue is a nonprofit that they, you can guess where a lot of the dogs come from, they come from the Y-nice side cause they'll take dogs from anywhere. And even sometimes when people have to surrender them for various reasons. And yeah, they have a lot of people who really care about dogs and they'll volunteer to take care of them and take them to the vet and get them healed up. And then they look for suitable new families and they interview the folks and they make sure that it's gonna be a good fit. And they have a lot of expenses because sometimes the dogs need medical care and they don't put any dogs down. They'll try and keep every dog alive unless it's just beyond their time but they won't put the dog to sleep though. And you donate part of your commission to Hope for Dogs Rescue? Yeah. Yeah. And I've taken a lot of pictures, well Mike sent pictures to me and I posted on Facebook say thank you Mike for making another donation. And by the way, you have how many dogs? My own dogs, we have three. My big one is a great Dana. He gets all the attention and probably about two thirds of the people in Fallola Valley, they might not know me but they know my dog. Yeah. Okay.  So Mike, thank you so much for being with us today. It's been a pleasure and very informational. And I gotta tell you, Mike is one of these that are really unassuming, really quiet, but very effective. And I really appreciate working with Mike.

Have a good one. Bye


The Narcissist Grooming Process. The narcissist prepares or trains you for a particular purpose or activity. They make you ready for use or ready or able to do something by teaching you a particular skill or type of behavior through sustained practice and instruction. The grooming process is the actual application or use of the idea, belief or method. The habitual or expected procedure or way of doing something. This is ordered or instructed by the narcissist. The grooming process consists of a series of actions deliberately taken by the narcissist. Consciously and intentionally in a predatory and calculated way it is intended to put you in a more dependent and isolated position. It is designed to make you rely or fixate on the narcissist while you have limited or no contact with other people. It is done by creating a false report or a false connection with you. This is to make you less self-conscious and more able to act in a relaxed and natural way around them. It makes you more vulnerable around them and more vulnerable to accept an abuse later on in the relationship. The grooming process prepares or trains you for these particular abusive purposes or activities where you become less anxious and shocked as a result of exposure, as a result of having no protection, barrier or defense from something harmful. It is a process that diminishes emotional responsiveness to a negative or positive stimulus after repeated exposure to it. Over time, your natural emotional response to these abusive purposes or activities is diminished when the action tendency that is associated with the emotion proves to be irrelevant or unnecessary. This has a significant influence on your behavior or on the manner or outcome of something which makes you more readily available to do what they want. It is a process which persuades you to do something without direct mention or exposition of a subject, without a comprehensive description and explanation of a theory. The narcissist grooms you by creating circumstances or factors which influence and affect your behavior or the potential outcome of something. They do this by use of positive and negative reinforcements.  An example of this could be praise, sympathy, approval, money, gifts, a laugh or smile. When you are doing something which deviates from their desire or motive for you, they will use negative reinforcement. An example of this could be nagging, yelling, silent treatment, intimidation, threats, making you feel guilty and playing the victim. They can also use intermittent or partial reinforcement which creates uncertainty and fear. This makes you feel uncertain and fearful about the potential consequences of you deviating from what the narcissist has intended for you. Intermittent or partial reinforcement can encourage you to persist and continue on course due to uncertainties and fear of difficulty or opposition. If you deviate or depart from the established course, the narcissist will respond with some form of punishment. This trains you to follow what they have intended for you. In the hopes of receiving positive reinforcement rather than negative reinforcement. The narcissist will often use verbal abuse, explosive anger or rage and other intimidating behavior to establish dominance or superiority. One incident of such behavior can be enough to condition or train a victim to avoid upsetting, confronting or contradicting the abuser. Over time this behavior becomes normalized and the victim is less shocked or anxious as a result of having no protection, barrier or defense from something harmful. The grooming process begins by the narcissist forming an estimator rough judgment of your vulnerability, need for affection, attention or emotional support, isolation and low self-esteem. The narcissist then gains your trust by watching and gathering information about you, getting to know your needs and how to fulfill them. By fulfilling your needs, they are then able to have more significance and importance in your life and may become idealized. They then use this developing relationship to create situations where they are alone with you. This isolation further reinforces this connection. They will often try to create a sense that you are loved or appreciated in a way that no one else can provide. Once they have gained sufficient emotional dependence and trust, they begin to exploit you. They begin to make full use of or derive benefit from you in a way that would be considered unfair or underhanded. Once they have begun exploiting you, they will maintain control by using secrecy and blame to maintain your continued participation and a code of silence. They have to do this because the exploitation would otherwise cause you to withdraw from the relationship. You can become involved in difficulties or complicated circumstances with them, from which it is difficult to escape.  You may fear that the loss of the relationship and the consequences of exposing it will humiliate you and cause you to feel even more unwanted. You may often feel guilty or shameful after the relationship as you brushed aside or shrugged off the narcissist's behaviour. You lived in that lie with the narcissist and ignored your own intuition. Naturally, this may cause you to feel guilty or shameful after the relationship is over. While you were with them, they forced you into creating a different response, responding to their abusive behaviours in a relaxed or unnatural way. They trained you into seeing abusive behaviours as an act of care or love or something that should be considered normal or acceptable. They changed what you knew to be true into a false representation of a particular situation or process in such a way as to reflect or conform to a set of aims or values.  To make you inclined or willing to agree to obey their rules. Often to an excessive degree, they changed what you knew to be true into a false narrative to get you to do what they want.

Would you like some? Would you like me to throw that across the room?  I'm hungry. And you can follow us on Instagram and Twitter! It's so juicy. I will smack that out of your hands. Come on, I'm hungry. I don't care! This is, you react to this.  Take one of those on Patreon and follow us on Twitter account. And today we are reacting to a little behind the scenes. Remember the R Raj Kumar? Gandhi Ba. Gandhi Gandhi Gandhi Ba. Oh, yeah. Shahid Kapoor? Yeah, Dirty Talk. Yeah, directed by Prabhu? Yes. This is behind the scenes with Prabhu and Shahid. Of that music video. Sweet! Yeah, awesome. So we're going to hear Prabhu and Shahid talk a little bit about the song. And we love the song. We know it means dirty talk. Yeah, we know. We like it. But yeah, so this... And this will be the first time I think we've actually heard Prabhu talk. It doesn't just dance. I know. What a human. Here we go. It's on the playlist. It's on my tip. Gandhi Ba. Each and every one of us. Gandhi Ba. Because we want to make Shahid dance, dance, dance in the song. He did. He makes me want to dance. So when Gandhi Ba did the Gandhi Ba, we thought of Archa. It must be very easy, but it must be nice also. Because everybody must follow. So I thought of Archa. Because this film is happening, not in city. It's happening. So they will have that gamcha. So let us do a movement with gamcha. That's how it came. Thai gate and the Gandhi Ba. And one more thing. Gandhi Ba means what? I think Gandhi Ba is bad or something. So normally what happens? And then Gandhi Ba we will do it. So I included that also. Gandhi Ba. You see that movement. They will be going back. Normally moon march will be going like this. So I thought split it. One, two, one, two like that. With the mic and the accent that thing. And with this Gandhi Ba we included this. And gamcha this. Yeah, it is a half moon march. We instead know. Because normally we round up and we will sit in the knee. But in this he is already in the knee. He has to round in the head. Again he has to follow the knee. Again he has to follow the knee. There is no balance. Wonder how much knees we are patting. We will take one leg like this. And then round. But in this normal it is not like that. Yeah, he is landing on the toe. And then generally rounds in the head and falls in the knee. That time he was got hurt. No, before he got hurt. But that time whenever he falls in the knee. The mind was like too much in the toe. Because he was already got hurt. He was always landing on the toe only. It was so paining for him. But still he told no sir one more I will do it. I will do it. I will do it. He did it. In Gandhi Ba only. The wave step is there. Because whenever that music comes. Main theme music. So I thought some movement is there. Like very unique movement. Normally the waves will happen like this. The body will go like this. I thought why can't we do it in opposite way. Yeah backwards. Why can't we do it? When you go up. When you fall up in the back. Because the technique is you have to go like this. It was little tough. I got the technique first. No. I forgot it like in 5-10 minutes. That's a good behind the scenes video. Yeah. And I'm sure there's the whole movie. Because obviously he's the director of it. But talking actually about specific things. Exactly. What happened. What went wrong. Yep. Why I came up with that idea. Yeah. And it was cool to see. Because obviously it's the first time we've actually seen Prabhu talk. But it's so interesting to see how he would actually come up with certain moves. Because I think when we watched that. We were like one there was an awesome fun song. Right. And he did a great job. Yep. At it. But like so many of the moves were just so. Like most of his stuff. Especially if he's the one choreographing it. Because I don't know what point in his career did he start. Right. What happened because you don't do it obviously right away. Well he may have started as a choreographer first. Okay. Yeah. He may have just been choreographing. And then just started to do his own stuff. Maybe that's what it was. Yeah. But he's just such a unique choreographer. Like I can't even do it. But I like how he also said he's like I got it right away. Yeah. Oh really. Yeah. I didn't think he would. He's fun. And I would love to watch just him not just doing the commentary. I'd love to just watch that camera on him while he's working. You know. And while he's coming up with stuff. And he's so smart to do choreography that's both complex enough that people look at it and go oh my goodness and they would try to replicate it and take a long time. But the main step was easily replicable for people watching it. Kids could see that. Like whether it was the hip thrust and the thing to the head. Yeah. So that when people hear the song, they have a point of it that they connect to it and they can dance to it. You know, they can do the Gendibab. Dance. But not all of it. I'm sure there's some people who can get all of it. Like when I was a kid, I'm trying to figure out how I did this too because back when I was a kid, you didn't have the ability to just put things on the internet and just rewind them and do them. But I watched everything of every time Michael's videos were on, it was a nonstop watch fest to pick up every little nuance of the guy's movements and that anything behind the scenes where you can pick up how they're working, the amount of time they're taking to work on it, especially the creative process. Like why he's coming up with something and how he's coming up with it. There's some great footage of Michael doing that very thing in his studio at home that you can find on the internet where he's in his house. He actually, one of my favorite things of Michael's choreography is he had been putting some choreography together that was really militant and he loved it. And Janet was coming out with Rhythm Nation at the time. And he told Janet, he heard her song and he said, you need this choreography for your thing. I was going to do it for my song, but you need it for Rhythm Nation because it fits your song better than my song. He gave her that choreography he was working on. How cool it must have been for me setting in the thing. I'm sure Shade had idolized Prabhu. Oh yeah. Because obviously he's young, so he watched his films going up, watched his dances. And now he's being directed and he's dancing with him. Yeah, talk about being motivated to get it right. Like seriously, first of all you're working with him and then second of all you know I'm about to do something that the world's going to watch and know this is Prabhu's work. I better get this right.  Like we said, he's a really good dancer. A lot of people in the comments, a lot of them say that they think he is actually better than Rithik sometimes. Right. In terms of, we've seen very few of him. They're such different dancers. They really are. One, different physique. Yeah, that makes a huge difference. One of the most impressive things about Rithik is his physique and the fact that he is so fluid and not like dancing like what the rock would be when he dances. Because he very well could be. Because they're both huge, right? Yeah. The rock is a little bit bigger. Just a little bit bigger. But I want to see Bill and Johnson on Dancing with the Stars. He's too big for Dancing with the Stars. They get like sea less active. I know. That's true as far as his status in the industry. Yeah. Yeah. Well that was awesome. Did you go to the Prabhu or Shahid or anything? Just let us know stuff down in the comments. Creative stuff. How was your day? How are you doing? What did you have?  Did you eat seaweed? I don't. I do. Getting back at it.


We continue on today with Chapter 7 The Unbelievable Belief We have said that without projection there can be no anger, but it is also true that without extension there can be no love. These reflect a fundamental law of the mind, and therefore one that always operates. It is the law by which you create and were created. It is the law that unifies the kingdom and keeps it in the mind of God. To the ego, the law is perceived as a means of getting rid of something it does not want. To the Holy Spirit, it is the fundamental law of sharing by which you give what you value in order to keep it in your mind. To the Holy Spirit, it is the law of extension. To the ego, it is the law of deprivation. It therefore produces abundance or scarcity depending on how you choose to apply it.  Every mind must project or extend because that is how it lives, and every mind is life. The ego's use of projection and anger can be finally undone. The ego always tries to preserve conflict. It is very ingenious in devising ways that seem to diminish conflict because it does not want you to find conflict so intolerable that you will insist on giving it up. The ego therefore tries to persuade you that it can free you of conflict, thus to give up the ego and free yourself. Using its own warped version of the laws of God, the ego utilizes the power of the mind only to defeat the mind's real purpose. It projects conflict from your mind to other minds in an attempt to persuade you that you have gotten rid of the problem. There are two major errors involved in this attempt. First, strictly speaking, conflict cannot be projected because it cannot be shared. Any attempt to keep part of it and get rid of another part does not really mean anything. Remember that a conflicted teacher is a poor teacher and a poor learner. His lessons are confused and their transfer value is limited by his confusion. The second error is the idea that you can get rid of something you do not want by giving it away. Giving it is how you keep it. The belief that by seeing it outside you have excluded it from within is a complete distortion of the power of extension. That is why those who project are vigilant for their own safety. They are afraid that their projections will return and hurt them. Believing they have blotted their projections from their own minds, they also believe their projections are trying to creep back in. Since the projections have not left their minds, they are forced to engage in constant activity in order to not recognize this. You cannot perpetuate an illusion about another without perpetuating it about yourself. There is no way out of this because it is impossible to fragment the mind. To fragment is to break into pieces and mind cannot attack or be attacked. The belief that it can and error the ego always makes underlies its whole use of projection. It does not understand what mind is and therefore does not understand what you are. Yet its existence is dependent on your mind because the ego is your belief. The ego is a confusion in identification. Never having a consistent model, it never developed consistently. It is the product of the misapplication of the laws of God by distorted minds that are misusing their power. Do not be afraid of the ego. It depends on your mind and as you made it by believing in it so you can dispel it by withdrawing belief from it. Do not project the responsibility for your belief in it onto anyone else or you will preserve the belief. When you are willing to accept sole responsibility for the ego's existence, you will have laid aside all anger and all attack because they come from an attempt to project responsibility for your own errors. But having accepted the errors as yours, do not keep them. Give them over quickly to the Holy Spirit to be undone completely so that all their effects will vanish from your mind and from the sonship as a whole. The Holy Spirit will teach you to perceive beyond your belief because truth is beyond belief and his perception is true. The ego can be completely forgotten at any time because it is a totally incredible belief and no one can keep a belief he has judged to be unbelievable. The more you learn about the ego, the more you realize that it cannot be believed. The incredible cannot be understood because it is unbelievable. The meaninglessness of perception based on the unbelievable is apparent, but it may not be recognized as being beyond belief because it is made by belief. The whole purpose of this course is to teach you that the ego is unbelievable and will forever be unbelievable. You who made the ego by believing the unbelievable cannot make this judgment alone. By accepting the Atonement for yourself, you are deciding against the belief that you can be alone, thus dispelling the idea of separation and affirming your true identification with the whole Kingdom as literally part of you. This identification is as beyond doubt as it is beyond belief. Your wholeness has no limits because being is infinity. And from the workbook, Lesson 52, today's review covers these ideas. I am upset because I see what is not there. Reality is never frightening. It is impossible that it could upset me. Reality brings only perfect peace. When I am upset, it is always because I have replaced reality with illusions I made up. The illusions are upsetting because I have given them reality and thus regard reality as an illusion. Nothing in God's creation is affected in any way by this confusion of mine. I am always upset by nothing. I see only the past. As I look about, I condemn the world I look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the past against everyone and everything, making them my enemies. When I have forgiven myself and remembered who I am, I will bless everyone and everything I see. There will be no past and therefore no enemies. And I will look with love on all that I failed to see before. My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. I see only my own thoughts and my mind is preoccupied with the past. What then can I see as it is? Let me remember that I look on the past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind. Let me understand that I am trying to use time against God. Let me learn to give the past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving up nothing. I see nothing as it is now. If I see nothing as it is now, it can truly be said that I see nothing. I can see only what is now. The choice is not whether to see the past or the present. The choice is merely whether to see or not. What I have chosen to see has cost me vision. Now I would choose again that I may see. My thoughts do not mean anything. I have no private thoughts, yet it is only private thoughts of which I am aware. What can these thoughts mean? They do not exist, and so they mean nothing. Yet my mind is part of creation and part of its creator. Would I not rather join the thinking of the universe than to obscure all that is really mine with my pitiful and meaningless private thoughts? Today we sink inward, watching the thoughts that cross the mind, remembering, see only my thoughts. The world I perceive is just my thoughts. The world I perceive is not outside of my thoughts. The world I perceive is these thoughts that cross awareness of the past and the future, and this is not seeing. I have to choose merely whether to see or not to see. That is the question. To see with the vision of Christ, to see in light or not to see. And I have spoken about no private thoughts and no people pleasing. Today I acknowledge I have no private thoughts as I watch these thoughts cross my mind, thoughts of the past, of the future, of the body, of the world, time and space, all of these cosmic thoughts. I remind myself, hmm, it is only these private thoughts of which I am aware, watching. Watching all thoughts that flow across the mirror of the mind, all thoughts of consciousness, these seeming private thoughts, and I remind myself, they do not exist. And so they mean nothing. God did not create these thoughts of past, of future, time, space, sink deep, these thoughts do not exist. And so they mean nothing. Yet I am, I am a perfect child of God. I am, as God created me. I am holy. I am spirit. Now ask yourself, would I not rather join the thinking of the universe than to obscure all that is really mine with my pitiful and meaningless private? What will I focus on today? What will I give my attention to? This dream of private thoughts, this dream of private or two reality, the kingdom of heaven, living Christ that I am. I practice today with this glorious review of Lessons 6-10. I am upset because I see what is not there. I see only the past. My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. I see nothing as it is now. My thoughts do not mean anything.


was commemorated by the Allied Supreme Commander. Acting on behalf of the Allied forces, General Eisenhower presented the French capital with a shield of honor. Being place of the French unknown soldier is restored. Once again, Frenchmen may honor their war dead at this famous shrine. The Supreme Commander's speech was a fitting tribute to the valiant French forces of the interior. Weeks ago, French and Allied forces entered the city. We came to deliver the coup de grace to the last remaining elements of the enemy here. But the liberation of Paris had already largely been pleaded. A week before, the men of the French forces of the interior, who for four long years, inspired by General de Gaulle, had carried on a relentless struggle against the enemy, had risen in their wrath and gone into the streets to drive out the hated invaders. All members of the Allied force would like to pay their fraternal admiration to the people of Paris. On their behalf, I present to the city a shield. We hope that this simple object will forever recall the day of Paris' liberation. A small plaque was used at the ceremony for the eventual shield, now being designed by American artists. The city was proud indeed of this tribute to their intrepid resistance forces. The capture of Marseille came with breathtaking speed. French colonial troops were in the vanguard as citizens poured into the streets to greet their liberators. Valities over, soldiers and populace joined in the festival of freedom. By their sudden liberation were these Russian workers forced into slave labor by the Nazis. The parade in honor of the underground, the men and women who prepared the way for the victory, was staged in the old fort of Marseille. Here, as everywhere throughout France, the FFI had worked valiantly, weakening and harassing the enemy. General Tassineau, commander of the French forces under General Pats, was on hand. He presented the military medal to both men and women of the heroic underground forces. Although these are the first pictures of the restoration of Marseille, the allies have since gone on from victory to victory. The second port of France has fallen. Once again, La Havre is an allied city. A final intensive bombing paved the way for the surrender of this vital communication center. Every single defensive position held by the stubborn German garrison was covered by target indicators. Tanks and bombers kept allied casualties to a minimum and ferreted out the 12,000 German defenders at small costs in allied lives. Almost nothing could withstand this formidable fire-eating weapon. The first patrols to enter the port picked their way carefully. The approaches were devastated while overcoming the enemy's stubborn but futile stand. The dark area, where German resistance was most determined, had to be reduced to rubble. Some of the harvest destruction was the result of Nazi bombing during the Battle of France four years ago. At last, the German defenders made their choice, the choice now facing every soldier of the German Bayermacht. That choice is death or surrender. Days earlier, the Albert Canal had been crossed. Its vaunted defense system overcome in four days. No small part in this rapid triumph was achieved across the Bailey Bridge, which turned the partly demolished permanent bridges into highways for British armor. The capture of Brussels was followed almost immediately by the liberation of Antwerp. The 40 kilometers separating the two cities was covered in record time by the British Second Army. The Germans were given no respite to organize an effective defense. There was sharp street fighting in the valuable port, but that was all. The enemy was caught entirely off balance. Side rail head was among the last places taken by the British. With the estuary of the Sheld River cleared of Nazis, another great continental port is available to the Allies. The people of Antwerp and the Belgian forces of the interior gave the Allies fullest possible aid. Arms and supplies were dropped to the Belgian White Army behind the German lines. This was a military operation that had proved so successful with a maquis in France. Since D-Day and even before, this airborne supply policy had paid big dividends for all concerned. The arms were collected the moment they hit the ground. In very few hours, they were put to effective use by the men who had waited for years for this moment to strike. Back in Brussels, meanwhile, members of the Belgian government had flown in from London. Their first official appearance was made at the Brussels War Memorial in tribute to the capital's liberation. The people of Brussels gave Britain's great soldier Field Marshal Montgomery a tremendous reception. The rejoicing continued as the Field Marshal made his appearance on the balcony of the Hotel de Ville. At the same time, the American 7th Army smashed forward to complete the liberation of Lyon. A few snipers held out in the huge hospital on the banks of the Rhône. Their fire was directed indiscriminately into crowded streets, but their last-ditch stand was of short duration. No patients were removed to safety until danger from fire was brought under control. The city was wild with joy as the French and American troops drove in. France's third city, Lyon has long been a main center of underground resistance. Here again, the now familiar scene was enacted. Collaborators were paraded through the streets in disgrace. One French city after another is being restored to freedom and liberty. No less than seven great and powerful Allied armies are poised ready to march into Germany. And the whole world of free men joins in the sharing. Victory is at hand.


What to study in college or university?  Things related to to science are good Programming is okay, but you got to be careful with the programming because there's a lot of people that have been laid off in the last little while from big tech so There's gonna be a lot of But I'm guessing a lot of those people that were laid off from big tech. They're excess baggage So they weren't really the programmers. They were the front-end people the the the media people or just Just the woke people and stuff like this programming. I think still very viable Mathematics for sure if you have the field for it Do your mathematics the mathematics will allow you to go into any direction or not any direction, but many directions if you want to go in right Act or Rural statistics. It's a good place to be data analysis is a good place to be Being able to grow food is an extremely good place to be Right communities are gonna need and it really depends on what type of lifestyle you want If you want to live large then you have to go with something that's going to generate large income if you want to live Build communities then look into what's required to build communities, right agriculture food Management organizing sort of to a certain degree economics as viable as well local currencies local community Sort of economics being established that's viable as well alternative energy is Is good as well to a certain degree, but don't go for the woke agenda ones go into like real companies that are Creating generators and stuff like this hands-on stuff extremely important extremely important technical technical stuff


Just mark it NSFW.  Time to put the good stuff on, boys. We are almost done. All we gotta do, we're gonna put the front grill on and the little plastic radiator top cover up here. Another nut, project storm. She looks like a hot rod, boys. Holley intake, Holley high ram. All the way installed. Bless day out there. It is Sunday morning and we have project storm in the shop and we are about to transform project storm from everyday to a badass hot rod look. A lot of you guys been waiting for it.  We're gonna get the Holley high ram installed on project storm. So we're gonna have a very good video on what you need as far as fittings, adapters, what not, to fit the Holley high ram onto basically a stock Ram 1500 with a 5.7 hemi. Now a lot of you guys know we have the torque storm supercharger installed on storm, but other than that, it's pretty much stock beside Texas speed long tubes and now a Holley high ram. And the other thing as in previous videos, we have the intercooler that was on Frostbite, which is my old air to air intercooler and then all of the custom piping that I put together and welded up myself. So all of that's going on the storm. We're gonna have an intercooler. So we're not just relying on meth injection anymore. We're still using meth injection, but now we have an air to air intercooler, which will help things out tremendously as this is a very, very daily driver truck. It gets driven every single day. Definitely stoked to see what this thing's gonna look like after we put the Holley on it and the track time difference that we see from the old setup with just meth injection to having an intercooler and the Holley high ram. So stay tuned, we're gonna get into it. So before we put on the Holley high ram, we're gonna give you a little before footage of what it looks like currently on the stock manifold. Pretty basic, not much to look at, besides obviously the torque storm supercharger. So we're gonna change that. Holley high ram going on. We have the intercooler already mounted, as you've seen in the previous video. That's the Holley high ram lower manifold. This is the lid right here. This is the new fuel rails. We got some fittings in here, the map sensor crossover line. We're gonna go over all of this stuff and then these are my intercooler pipes that I built. I custom did and welded up myself. Now this is not aluminum pipe. This is stainless steel pipe that I welded up and then I had my local powder-coater shop powder-coating for me. So this is what we're putting on for Project Storm. So let's start tearing off the old and on with the awesome new stuff. All right, so one thing off. We have the old breather hose going to the PVC valve. You're gonna take that hose off and pretty much put it down there on the floor. Not gonna need it no more. Next up, we're basically undoing everything on the old manifold, wire connections, vacuum hoses, fuel line going to the fuel rail. All that's gotta be unplugged. And then we will start removing the bolts that holds the actual manifold down. You do not need to remove your throttle body. As of right now, you can just leave it on the old manifold and remove it all as one assembly. And then once we get on the table, we can transfer the throttle body to the new Holley manifold. You got a couple of vacuum lines right here behind the old throttle body. You're gonna unplug them and then just kind of lay them over to the side. Next up, we're gonna need to unplug all the fuel injector connectors. You got four on each side because it's a Hemi V8. We got eight of them bad boys. So once we unplug all the fuel injector connectors, then you have your fuel line that plugs onto the old fuel rails. You're gonna need a special tool for that. We'll show you what that is in a second. Pop that off and then just kind of lay it over to the side. And then also on, if you're in front of the truck, on the back of the stock manifold, on the left side or passenger side corner, your old map sensor back there in a corner will be back there. We've already removed this one, but you're gonna need to unplug that connector. And then you'll have another connector on the back of the manifold that's for the electronic intake runners on the stock manifold. As these have, the old manifold has runners that activate at certain RPM ranges. So there's a connector on the back of manifold for that and you're gonna need to unplug that as well. Now, as you can see, this is kind of how we work on the truck. You remove the electric fan, remove the fan clutch, which we've already did that. And this truck does not have a fan clutch anyways as we deleted it and we run the V6 style electric fan to cool it. So when you remove the fan and the fan clutch, you have a lot of room to stand in the truck and it makes working on it much, much easier. So that's where we're at.  We are removing the eight millimeter intake manifold bolts. After we get all those out, we are gonna stop and run to the house real quick to get my fuel line disconnect tools because we just realized they're at home and we don't have them. All right, we have all the bolts out of the old intake manifold. Everything's unplugged. As you can see, we kind of have it pulled up right here and that's kind of what we did. You just kind of pull it out to about this point and then kind of lean it towards the passenger side. That way you can reach back behind it and unplug the intake runner. Unplugged the electric intake runner plug that's on the very back of the manifold and it's kind of a pain in the butt because it does have one of those red safety clips that you have to unlock to unplug it. So it's kind of a, you reach back there and kind of feel it thing. You really can't see it. So that's probably the worst part of this so far. Other than that, you can see we have the fuel line unhooked which is right there and then plugs on to the factory fuel rail right there. We unhooked that using. And that's the fuel line disconnect tool that we used. These are pretty universal. You can pick these up at AutoZone, O'Reilly's, whatever. And as you can see, it's kind of a multi tool. It has many different sizes. So depending on the fuel line size will depend on which end of the tool you need to use. That's all it is. Cheap little tool.  So let's get her out. Just mark it NSFW.  Time to put the good stuff on, boys. All right, so once you remove the plastic intake manifold, this is what you're left with. Inside your Ram engine bay. So at this point, you wanna make sure you don't drop any bolts or anything down into cylinder heads. This is a good point where if you want, you can stuff some rags in there, but just be careful. You don't wanna drop anything into the cylinder heads like a bolt or anything like that. So we're gonna get ready to install the new Holley. All right, Mo-Part Fam. As you can see, we have the lower Holley high ram manifold right here. We got a lot of it already plumbed up. We're still working on it. So we're gonna kind of go over a little bit. We got the fuel injectors put in with the fuel rails. As most of you guys know, we're running the FIC 650 fuel injectors on Project Storm because it's a boosted application. Those injectors are working very well. Now on the back, again, this is a boosted application.  So this is where we have to locate it on the back of the Holley high ram. And this sensor is out of, I believe these will fit like a neon SRT-4 or even a Dodge Ram Cummins or a Ram Cummins IET sensor. This is a thread-in IET sensor. So it really don't matter which kind you get, but you need a thread-in style IET sensor and it's gonna thread in right there. Now we did have to put in a reducer because the hole on the back of the manifold is larger than the sensor. So you may need to get a reducer for that to thread in depending on what sensor you decide to go with. Now, because we're running boost, if you're an NA or nitrous, you're not gonna need this. You would just block this off or put a plug in here, but we have two basically boost reference or vacuum nipples here. So we got one is gonna go to our meth injection sensor. So we can read boost and vacuum. So this will run our boost gauge and our meth injection system. And then the one on the bottom right here, one on the bottom right here is gonna run over to our blow off valve for the torque storm supercharger. And then finally, right here, we have a 90 degree elbow with a barbed fitting and this is gonna run to our brake booster hose or the factory hose will actually reach over and plug on to the back of the manifold right here. So that is how we're running the brake booster hose. And then again, we're running boost on this truck. So this is the two bar map sensor and it fits right into the Holley perfectly fine and the two screws that they supply you with mount it to the Holley manifold perfectly. And that's pretty much it. So that'll plug right on and that'll run our map sensor. And for the IET sensor again, you know, there's a SRT4 thread in IET or a Cummins diesel IET sensor that threads in. Now we do have to lengthen the wires. So as you can see, we have pre-made up basically a red and black wire and twisted them together with a drill. And I don't know, we made them up probably about three feet longer or so, maybe longer. And when we get it all installed, once we get the manifold installed, this is where our factory IET plug was in the front. So the factory IET sensor plugged on, that's the connector. So what we're gonna be doing is we're actually gonna cut it off where we've actually had to lengthen it in the past already to fit the Torx storm application setup that we have now. But we're gonna be cutting off this plug again and wiring the two wires that you've seen on the IET sensor harness that we fabbed up. We're gonna wire them into the harness of the vehicle in the front, so that'll be our IET sensor pickup. Now, as you can see my buddy Ryan over here working on the fuel rails. So for, if you're gonna be running the stock Ram fuel system on the driver's side of the intake manifold, as you guys unhooked, as you know, we unhooked the factory fuel line, you're gonna need this special adapter from Earl's. And what this is, is this fitting, it's an AN fitting that'll thread into the Holley fuel rails and it supplies you with basically the same type of factory fuel line disconnect to plug your factory fuel line on. It'll plug right on just like stock. Plus it has some leadway as this fitting is a swivel. So you can swivel that around and it works well. Works perfectly, no leaks, it works great. So that's how you're gonna hook your fuel rail, your factory fuel line back up to the new intake manifold setup. And then on the passenger side, on the back of the fuel rail for that, you're gonna need a plug. And this rail, like I said, it just gets a plug and that is a, that's a dash eight O-ring plug. You can pick them up at Holley, you can pick them up pretty much at any local speed shop or park store. So you're gonna plug that. And then on the front, as you know, on the factory manifold, there's a stock line that crosses over to both fuel rails. And since that has to go away, what we're gonna do is just like I did on my truck frostbite, we're gonna jump the two, we're gonna jump the two fuel rails together in the front with a special hose that we ordered up. And to make that work, you're gonna need two of these fittings to thread into the Holley fuel rails. So these two fittings are the same and those fittings are. So those are the Earl's AN port adapters. Part number, this is the package that it came with. So you're gonna need two of these port adapters to jump the fuel rail, to jump the fuel rails together in the front. So there is that part number right there, two of those. And then again, you're gonna need to order this hose and the part number on that hose. So the hose that we found to work for our needs quickly is from FAST, that's the part number. And it's just a basic fuel rail crossover line that's eight AN, that's all there is to it. And it is the perfect length to fit these fuel rails and the same exact hose that I used on frostbite. So the only other thing I need to mention is all of these AN fittings, they are O-ring sealed into the fuel rails. So you do wanna put a little bit of oil or grease on them and then tighten them up. The hose itself is a tapered seal so you do not need to lube that or anything or put anything on there. Just snug that up and that is pretty much it. And then the manifold is plumbed and ready to roll. One more thing to go over is have Ryan lift this up a little bit. Behind the oil cap, there is a port right here that needs to be plugged. So you're gonna use one of the supplied plugs from Holley to plug that hole. And then on the passenger side, what we're gonna do temporarily, which is how I have frostbite working, we're putting one of the supplied barbed nipples into this port right here.  It comes up to, I don't know, about a foot up just up to the top of the firewall and then it has a breather filter on the end of it. So that is how we're venting the crankcase and everything as of right now until later on, we're gonna do a catch can and everything. But that's how I've been running frostbite and it's been working pretty good for the most part. And again, like I said, that's what we're doing right now until we do a proper catch can setup. So stay tuned for that. But other than that guys, that is it. So that's how the intake has to be plumbed up other than we gotta get the lid on and then mount the throttle body and basically install it. So I know I've gotten a lot of questions of how I did it on frostbite and that is pretty much it, identically done right here. So we're gonna continue on and get this thing mounted up. So stay tuned. All right, Mopar Fam, we have the lower manifold completely plumbed up. So that's what she looks like. Fuel rail's on, crossover, hose is on, injector's in. We have our boost hose for our blow off valve tucked in behind the passenger side fuel rail. This is our breather filter for right now. That's coming off the barb nipple we installed. This is our wiring for our IET sensor. And again, blow off hose going all the way behind the fuel rails and the injectors up to the front and we will cut and trim whatever we don't need up there once we get it mounted. Pretty dope. Again, that's what the back looks like for at least a boosted application, you know, on the cheap. We got all these fittings from our local ACE hardware and this is just brass plumb and fittings and this is how I got frostbite done up. Fuel hose right here. This is the special fuel adapter hose, special Earl's fuel line adapter to retain your stock fuel line. It'll plug, boom, right on there. And that is all there is to it fellas. So last thing to go, we got to climb in the truck. We're going to mount the lower section on to the motor first. After this is all mounted up, then we will mount the top lid on. After that's on, then we're going to mount the throttle body on and then do all the intake plumbing or pressure pipes I should say for a supercharger.  So we got a little bit more to go, but that's it.  Getting everything ready to go. Ryan's about to climb down in the hole we call it and get it done. So here we go. All right, Mopar fam. Just wanted to give you a quick little tip for those that don't know it. Installing these studs that comes with the Holley High Ram. They do give you studs to install the lower part of the intake manifold is, you can see we're doing one stud right there. Quick little trick. If you take two nuts and actually jam them together, as in tighten them against each other, then you can take a ratchet or wrench or whatever and actually screw the stud in very easily. Otherwise it can kind of be a pain. So if you take two nuts, jam them together, literally, then you can thread the stud down pretty simple. As you can see, it's going down. So quick little tip. Just wanted to show that for those that don't know, works awesome. All right, Mopar fam. She's looking a little better. Hope Project Storm's getting there. So we got the Holley High Ram completely bolted on. All the bolts and hardware is torqued down. You can see the little blue breather filter back there on the left side corner, passenger side. Like I said, that's our breather setup for right now until we get our catch can stuff all set up. That's just what we're gonna do. Cross over line for the front of the two frewells. That's how it runs just underneath the top lid. And now we just got to work on getting our throttle body mounted, get our wiring done for the IET sensor plug, and then this truck has AC. So we're gonna sit here and try to figure out what we're gonna do about making these lines fit because obviously, as you can see, they are right in the way of where our throttle body is gonna be and our plumbing and pressure pipes. So we're gonna have to finagle them away a little bit. So stay tuned. Almost there, but Project Storm, daily driver. Looks like a hot ride now, boys. All right, Mopar Fam, we are almost done. All we gotta do, we're gonna put the front grill on and the little plastic radiator top cover up here. Another nut, Project Storm. She looks like a hot rod, boys. Holley intake, Holley high ram, all the way installed. We got the air-to-air intercooler set up that I built on it, all the pipes. You can see how they run through the passenger side. On to the CX racing intercooler that I used to have on Frostbite. That intercooler is actually for a Fox body Mustang, but as you can see, it's a pretty large one. I mean, it takes up the whole front end. You really can't put a bigger intercooler in there. It works good, especially for the money. But that is it. That's the Holley high ram on Project Storm. Yeah, definitely don't look like the same truck now under the hood. Looks like we just put a big, huge crate motor in here. It's amazing what the Holley high ram does for the appearance-wise, not to mention the performance too. Heck yeah, inventful day. Well, was it worth all the trouble there, guy? We'll see. No, that's gonna be worth it. Well, last time out, we ran best time. What was it? 13-626. 13-626. Stock cam, stock converter, stock six speed ram truck. As we all know, those transmissions ain't the best. Four by four, heavy street tires. She ran pretty good at the track last time for what we've got done to it. So, we're gonna hopefully see what the Holley high ram adds to it. I think it's gonna be good for at least a few tents, maybe more. So there you go at Mo Par Fam. We're pretty much done. All we gotta do is put the grill on.  But that's it for the Holley high ram. That's the fittings, the parts that you pretty much need to do a boosted application at least. NA setup's a little bit easier. You don't need quite as many fittings. You just need a plug really to plug most of the ports on the back of the manifold. That's it. Hope you enjoyed the video.
