Thanks for a great time Kevin!(Not Mark- sorry I edited that earler post!) I wish we could've stayed longer for your big run. That's the first time we've watched the dyno outside of TV. Those NADP trucks were something else! Hey- how did the young guy's welding truck do?

I believe that Jordan was 3 something, he was having some serious EGT issues. I feel that most of his problems is the TST. I think that he would do much better with a smarty or something like that.

I knew who you meant, lol

Thanks for making it

Kevin

Got there about 1300 hrs. I told Kevin by 0900 Friday, but my brother called me at 0300 to say my sister in-law was having contractions (a month early to her due date). I met them at the hospital for support - my future niece has a growth around the lower portion of her right lung that will require surgery after she's born.

Her contractions stopped with some med.'s - they want her to go full term - better for the baby a recovery of surgery. After that, went home, showered, and slid down to Sub Racing.

Sorry, I missed you too, but there will be a next time.

I didn't run the dyno - still a stock engine, but my brain is brewing . I took some daylight pics while there. Images are too big to upload to member galleries - I have to figure a way to reduce them. Posted here:https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...91#post1363791 Post #311.

it was great to learn from all the second gen guys what works and whats best avoided.

Thanks kevin for setting up the dyno day, Nice meeting everyone/having faces to the names, hopefully make it to the next one.

The truck dynoed 319 roughly each time I wound her up, because thats were 1500 was an the pyro the tst was set at 5-3, 6-3, 7-3,

I kind of thinking that aem dryflow might be choking up the turbo?, I might have to do some testing with some other filters. Also want to find a smarty, see what that does to egts

I sure wish I could've made it down .

Looks like there was a pretty good turnout though.

Next event, I'm will be there. Hopefully with something that is worth putting on the rollers.

Those are the lights I got for my truck, 6000k colour. Just get the ones for a 87-93 stangs, same bulb. I'm waiting for the bi-xenon kit for the 9004 bulbs to come out. I put a set in my mom's truck, they light up faster than mine, have high beams, and seem a bit brighter. Not that I need brighter lights or anything.
