The red rocket has never been on the rollers...well once for break in and when we did give it a whirl she just spun on the rollers HARD...it only weighs 1600lb on the back end and we can't pull down hard enough to get her to stick...if you do the math mph, 1/4 mile time and weight....you come to and how accurate the calculators are....

977hp all motor.....which really now a days is very reliable and the 50 some passes we got on the motor to date shows it

I've heard the calculations on weight, ET, and MPH be very accurate and consistent on HP estimates.

I managed to swing in for a bit ---met a few ,talked to Jason for as bit and bothered Joe about his ride(Beauty----nice clean install---sorry about all the questions---"THANKYOU" for the answers).I did not get a chance to talk to "Morkable"as he was busy chatting with others---next time.On another note---buddy tried working on a deal for a full load Ford 6,7 Kingranch this weekend----list was 83K---out the door for 74KAll-In---too rich for me until i match those 6 winning numbers.DW---PS--- the 07 dually with those 33.5(BFG-KM2"S) inch meats are giving me about 20+MPG at 115KMH(1900RPM) as this was the first highway trip this year i was not hauling a trailer/loaded down with something back and forth to my vacation property---satisfies me

Jamie, I didn't see your name on the board, but hoped that you ran the truck. I can see the pot stirring up a few big cummins rigs in the near future.

Couldn't make it but oh well, next time. It's looking like I'm gonna start to build my 2007 up and buy a 2011 for work if the patch stays as busy as they say.

but yeah, i saw you but you were always chatting with someone in the distance. you chatted with a buddy for a while and he took the dr. p ooff of you . . . bankdude.

actually, you and i chatted for a bit briefly - about the lexan windows in the race truck . . . it was towards the end of the day, it was cold, and i may have been on my way out. i apologize too.

nametags would great, if we had them handy. whoever hosts next should have a table with stickers and a marker for those who don't have shirts already identifying themselves.
good idea, make life real easy

Well they are starting to make built RFE68 transmission that can almost take as much power as a RE48 transmission. Good news for us dodge guys that drive newer trucks. Just found a few shops that sell a RFE68 with 300M shafts.
