One thing to clarify looks like idahorob actually ran a 10.07 @ 136mph, and then backed it up with a 10.10 @ 137mph.

Also all of those guys are regular cab trucks.

I am not saying I don't think you will be right there for power, but you will probably need to get the truck on a diet.

Yes that is the truth,, but,, I do think that we will add around 200+ Hp this year,, and a little weight here and there,, I think that I am probably 300+ more HP than Rob,, and prob 150 more than Aaron,,, so I should be close I think

Kev, Giver a good hard go buddy. I want a decent hard pass on that new turbo, so you can break it in good. Has Tater shown it to ya. Worst case is we go bigger badder next year. Maybe you should street drive her there? That would be a fun day. A low 10 second street driver.

Is Idaho Rob the MAX'D OUT RACING truck? At the Bully Dog dyno the did 1060HP on fuel only. I thought that was pretty darn decent for a Duramax.

I sure would like to see you to set the record again this August though. If I am not working I will be there watching thats for sure.

That is good HP for a dmax. It will be interesting for sure.. that is where I was at last year (1050) but I am definately heavier, which is my big weakness right now.

Is the d-max truck gonna be there at the black out this year? Sounds like it's gonna be a good show. Kev, you might have some competition for a change. Unlike the rest of us diesel mortals that are stuck under 600rwhp barrier.

Hows the monster garage build going? You get Tater to burn some midnight oil yet on the truck? Kev, buddy should snap off some pictures for us to follow along at home.

I'm hoping on getting out the black out this year, but that darn work thing just keep changing my schedule. It would be awesome to get into the pits and check things out.

Tate, hasn't talked you into building up a ford yet? I think that he has a ranger that needs some TLC and that would cut some weight off. Another way is just start cutting with a plasma torch and put her on a diet. I would like to see you run that set-up at 3500lbs, I think that you would be low 9's.
