Numbers Man!! What were the numbers!!!

Numbers are not what me or Elite want to see. Can't load it hard enough to get the big turbo to spin like we need. They are working on it.

Erik How can you stay at home and watch your pickup run by others?

Would drive me crazy!!!

Cant wait to see how it does for you! Should be nothing but good!

Hopefully nothing a few tweaks can't fix.

I understand that. Just was wondering how you do it. Without going crazy.

Hey, like he said, he put the floor mats in it, he's done enough work.

He knows his truck is in great hands.

I always have a hard time on the dyno making my big charger make enough boost, the runs are so short that by the time it makes full boost you are really out of the powerband as far as the cam goes, i have thought about doing the brian jelich and building boost one gear before overdrive to help it make good boost in overdrive. Either way the number should be somewhat accurate i would think.

No one said I am not going crazy.

That may be a way to attack it Mike. They did let it shift like that on the dyno and made over 1000hp but we/they are taking a slow methodical approach and making sure everything is right before going balls out.

yeah it depends if the peak power is made "at" the shift or not.

Yes you were supposed to have taken off of work since the day you won the 2012 event getting prepped for this year. I'm sure they wouldn't have minded if you put a camper in the back of your truck and lived in the shop for the past year LOL

I am sure not comfortable with my farm being ran by the "ranch hands" if I was not here.
