There's a good reason I never joined the forces. I just can't hack it like you tough guys.:biggun: If that was my normal routine then suicide would become a viable option very quickly.

Here's the pic mentioned earlier off my facebook, taken at 2:40ish this morning on our way through the Eisenhower tunnel.

FWIW, we got the break-in oil changed, A/C lines done, some stock rear tires put on, and are ready to hit the dyno as soon as they solve some technical difficulties on their end.

Sweeeeeet

Why the stock rear tires?

Wouldn't it be better to tune everything using the size tire he will run for the event?

:whs:

Fast-6.0 · May 1, 2013

It is a non load dyno so we need it in overdrive. Meaning the tires will be doing 160mph. Rather not have Erik's big tires doing that.

Holy jesus LOL

Good God......could you imagine the noise of those Swampers at 160???

I just emailed Wayne the insurance stuff to get that windshield fixed. Heading to the dyno shortly.

riest:

No numbers for a while, mainly getting the gates set and the vgt % right for this set up. After all that then we may see some numbers coming back.

I appreciate the late nights and hard work fellas. Owe one of you a few drinks and the others dinner. LOL

I've been watching the build on FB more than on here.
Papa Sulli Smurf is going to put the hurt down!

Twinturbostroker · May 1, 2013

I love how Papa Smurf has stuck.........

PatMan · May 1, 2013

That pic of Sully, back around page 50, would be a F'n awesome airbrush on the hood or tailgate...
Normally I'm not a big fan of those - but it would be so fitting.
or hell, even a partial wrap!

Wayne · May 1, 2013

Some tree branches fell on power lines near the dyno building due to heavy snow, so they are working to restore power now. Looks like we'll be lucky to get it dynoed today, but not counting on it at this point.

01PSD · May 1, 2013

Who would've guessed...

Twinturbostroker · May 1, 2013

That's insane its May and its snowing......

PatMan · May 1, 2013

Yep, got about 3 to 4 inch's down here on the south side of Denver. I'm sure they're getting more up there on the north side.
Damn Mother Nature. Beyotch is a Ford hater!

What does the weather call for for next week?

Wayne · May 1, 2013

They're speculating really great weather for the challenge; mostly sunny all week with high 60's to low 70's. Maybe a little rain on Wednesday afternoon. The forecasters have been off more than usual lately though, so it doesn't mean much.
