I'm thinking there may be 3 or 4 extra people in his truck :-)
Right now I have a goose neck hitch 4 bags of sand spare tire back there. About 325lbs. back there. Soon enough, when I finish welding and performing surgery on my toolbox to get her back together and weather tight, it'll be more.

I have a set or real old tires on the back of mine. Bet they are 10-12 years old and still have good tread. Trouble is, old rubber gets hard.

They ignite almost instantly, like your on ice.
Yeah seems someone has the same tires i do

Not to deter you in any way but I got spanked by some hot shot in an 06 or 07 lifted dually a while back. Window stickers in it and everything. I knew better too .. first 3 stop lights he sat there mocking me with a truck full of hecklers and finally on the fourth I gave him a run. It was the distance that killed me .. EGT's were in the 1400+ range pretty quick and had to let off once she went much above that .. smoked him out later that night though when he was unlucky enough to be behind me .. so at least I didn't totally lose face. Good luck bud

not as far as I know but 35psi is pushin it. I think it's possibly somewhere around or north of 40psi unless someone else wants to correct me on that.

Also, I'm talkin about an h1c, not the baby h1c. They might be different too, I don't know.

How hard was your turbo swap? What did you do with the sensor hookup?

most guys remove the sensor and plug the hole with something so it's not a boost leak. Some weld it, some buy the little plug ATS sells.
I don't think it was really that hard myself. I think for some people (myself included) it is a little overwhelming knowing what to do to make it work until you actually get the turbo in your hands and see it but it's really not that bad once you start actually pulling things apart.

Your truck is not intercooled right?

If it's not intercooled it might be a little interesting making some sort of a crossover pipe if you don't intercool it at the same time seeing as how the compressor housing has that 90* turn cast right into it.

Be careful who you pick on...I lost my last grudge match 9.2 to 8.2 in the 1/8th against a 6.4L Ford. That one hurt. I Even managed to cut a -.007 redlight.

Up here, those 6.4 fords with the delete kits and spartan tunes are mean... then again so are the duramax's, hmmm, they may be quicker, but maybe we will race at 250,000 miles when they have to do a rebuild and are in the shop and we are just getting warmed up...

Brandon i'm interested in what you have to say about that. So how often do you drive? or does ur dad do all the racing? ;-)
