Raced from WV to ME....14.5 mpg

I am so PO'd my overhead promised me 20.4 MPG....I thought there was something funny when my mileage went up the harder I pedalled. Today was play day and I did the Eastern 500.....Carlisle Pa to Portsmouth, N.H......just a crack over 500 miles 34.4 gallons of #2. Driving average 82mph, 118mph topspeed, total average speed including stops 62mph, and a dozen driving lessons given with a Smokey reward for those deserving graduates.....One tired puppy and not even a close call, speeding ticket or a one fingered salute.

To the people of Reedsville and West Virginia my sincerest apologies for all the smoke and soot I left behind.....You folks are the best example of what I like about my US cousins....you couldn't find a nicer and more helpful bunch of people anywhere. I'd move there in a second but you guys are just as far from a diesel performance shop as I am on the Island. God willing I'll be back next year.....to pull. ks

So, are u goin on the dyno again this week? I saw all the soot you left behind last week. Those guys had to clean up before we could make a pull. I put mine on the dyno. Stock was 283hp and 550 ftq. It made 415hp and 880 ftq with a Superchips program. My friend stacked his Edge with a PPE program and made around 6 and over 1000 ftq. Was a fun day.

You should know you were exactly 2 hours from one of the best diesel performance shops in WV and probably 3-4 hours from several shops in Ohio. Move on down - WV has room
