I understand.. but From what I figure from every other dpc. If he finishes all the contests.. he should win.. most of the guys that are over 7-800hp break or have some sort of setback.. even if he is slow.. he shouldnt have a problem getting it to spool... keeping it lit might be a different story..

I talked with Shiloh with custom auto today and yes not sure if they'll compete or not. Industrial injection had their dyno event today and that blue truck was there but they didn't dyno it. Said they've got some major boost leak and waste gate issues.

Jon weatherby had a manual dodge cr truck that he shifted like a mofo. I believe 14.8 was the fastest it ran up here.... Manual is not competitive with trucks of that caliber.

im not trying to be rude brutha, just saying how it is. that truck stands almost no chance of winning. not sure if you saw what happened to the guy with the obs dually a couple years ago when i was supposed to compete, but he really was just not in the event. he was in the event but not noticed.

Well, I'm still hoping if this 7.3 guy's out, that JD can slide into an opening LOL. The truck is already there, dialed in, and ready to be competitive. 2 years of fail in a row for custom auto's truck would be super crappy, and really put a hurting on team GM again. Hopefully they can make it, but if they pull out, then hopefully somebody else in the voting can step up in time.

Pull those strings Mikey! It's always good to have you around with the magazine guys on speed dial

Nobody wants to read a diesel magazine where the underdog gets blown away anyway. That's just not cool.

I personally think if the blue truck is out it would help the GM crowd.

So Shiloh bowed out last year because they couldn't get it running right and now after a year of prep he is out again, what's wrong with these people.
