If you guys want/need to book rooms, you should do it ASAP since this is also Rodeo weekend.

So what do you think the highest HP will be for the truck that gets driven to and from the show will be? I'm driving down (or up) on Friday night, anybody want to hook-up for a warm-up predyno day gathering.

After my water meth kit, I think I should be in the high 800's for horsepower. I am going to be driving there and back. I am leaving early Friday morning so I might be able to catch some of the pre-dyno dyno friday afternoon. Can also go for beers afterwards. One quick question...... when I guess my dyno number, I get to use both pulls right. I think my original guess was really 444.

Nope, it was Kevin at PDR here in Calgary a couple years ago, so much for his fancy dynamic method of adjusting timing.
I'm guessing 250 hp on mine with about 650ftlbs.

Freakin' awesome Tate! Cycled the grids twice and she caught right off the bat. Before I would have had to cycle the grids twice crank it 'til it tried to fire then cycle the grids again then it would go.I got way more bottom end, and it even smells like it is burning cleaner. I suspect it will clear up the fog i would get while idling at a light too.
Be interesting to see if makes any difference on the dyno Saturday.
YOU THE MAN TATE
