I got a kid i go to school with that has a powerstruggle with 2 chips on it. he adds up all the hp for the settings on both chips and adds them to his factory hp at the crank and he has 630hp at the wheels, with a stock clutch and no gauges. He's a real winner.

"Powerstruggle" That's a new one! And darned funny!!!!!

Let me add this to what I previously said about my dyno numbers w/ the Quad Race box/VA C3.2 stack. I have read where others with the same mods I was running were making around 400rwhp w/ that stack. I can't tell you why my numbers were that low but there were several others that day who felt the dyno was not giving them the correct numbers. I loved that stack and it was just plain awesome once I put the HTB2 on it but for some reason with that turbo my EGTs went through the roof. I had no issues with the stock turbo....

I had an 08' "powerstruggle" behind me getting on the freeway the other day. I figured he wanted to see what I had, so I got on it pretty good. I noticed black smoke pooring out the duals when he was about 15 lengths back there struggling.

After, when I was cruising in the middle lane and he cruised by, I noticed his big Banks emblems. Didn't seem to make him any faster!!

Hey wait a minute!! I thought of that first!! I thought that would be the best way to have a "sleeper" truck. Got that banks power sticker on there and the Ferd pulls up and says watch this to his buddy...

After I let 'em catch up to me you ought to see the expression

One guy (w/d-max with banks) stopped at the fuel pump with me and had to ask what the ****? He said he KNEW if I had full Banks kit that with his D-max "Banks-ed Out" (his quote) there was no way I'd keep up with him... then I told him I had to slow down becuase the wife was scared...

I just finished with "all I have is a six-gun" and "don't underestimate a Cummins"... Didn't tell him I'd been Smarty-fied!
