Kev, it will give you chance to use the ford to tow the dodge to the event. It would be interesting to see how the new truck handles the hills. I should be in, unless work forces my hand.

I guess we have to sit and wait to see what Martin is available/capable of hoisting the dyno event.

We could do the deep south 52st timmy meet for the Calgary guys. I'm even game to do a meet in Edmonton. I see that the cummins forum has regular meets in both citys, we could hang out with them. I can volunteer my garage down the road, but its a mess right now. My truck is all over the garage, half dozen turbos laying on the bench and a 24v half apart engine in the corner. We could even do a turbo swapping GTG.

Lol don't worry, we don't bite, haha. And its not really cummins forum, the majority of regulars are off abdiesels.com, I just throw it up on cummins forum for fun as well, occasionally get a few newbies off there.

Kev, when did you want to give her a go at your ride? I might have some work up north, and I might need a garage to hang out at. I have to hand out a few business cards up there, and sounds like a fun way to spend my evening.

As for swap'n, I just thought everyone should know how bad their turbo is in comparision to mine. I would like to do a twin install on a truck that isn't mine just for kicks. I need a baseline off the what I typically do.

Well I have to brag abit, I'm just about done my stereo and sounding material upgrade. Wow-whow. Man its been a up and down project build. The worst part is getting everything wired right and getting ride of all that resouncing buzz that comes with putting power to the speakers. Its not purfect, but it should be good to go. Next project is my new twins and injectors. Then to rip her all apart again.

I think that BD dyno event is in May, sounds like lots of local guys are going. I've tried AFI ph# a few times, but still get the message box is full.Hard to move forward on this item.

No probs buddy, I wanted to spin those rollers. I've done a few tuning changes as well. Nothing too big of a change. We going to do the BD event this year? I think that the cummins forum has a hotel block set-up. I'm if my work premits it, hah, I should be there. I think that Armor and the CT truck are going. It will be fun to see us (Alta boys) do well at BD event.
