It was in interesting coinicidence, that Dave and I passed those same two 'Vettes (I recognized the circa '86 black convertible) going west in the morning. They were headed to Carlisle.

I'm sure they said the same thing about our trucks....

Crossy, yeah, I did get some cold feet through the chutes. Those wide hips of mine....

Was it Black before or after Dave passed him.

Actually, it was in great shape. I enjoyed the ride back, but we really did burn through some #2.

 

Just for you Dave!!

 

Well with a rather gloomy start due to rainy weather abound and all around it looked like at one time very few would show.As it turned out about 25 trucks were on hand with the Fords almost out numbering the Dodges.It was nice to see so many Ford owners and so many new faces in the crowd.Well 25 trucks on hand with 13 dynoing and one going twice so here are the results from yesterday best hp/tq readings,the boards they represent and in no particular order.Sorry for the delay in posting them but after being up for 36 hours and then taking some medicine for my shoulder I slept from 3pm until 7am today.Now that the cobwebs are cleared out I may muddle through this,LOL.

Notes...
The grill turned out to be a great club addition and the rookie cooks,Dockboy/LMills,did a wonderfull job with it.Thanks go to the store runners who got the couple of missing items needed.Thanks also to Sherry for keeping it in her big shop.

Thanks always need to go out to the ENTIRE Kauffman Motorsports crew for hosting and allowing us the entire use of the facilities.Dave,Chris and Bags were on their toes and made the show go off flawlessly and without a hitch.

WannaDiesel was off in the shop doing his deed and making another KDP disappear.He told us that one made 39 he has sent to their death before they killed the owners mighty Cummins motors.For those who have never seen Dave do this job it is one to watch.The jig he has and way its done amazes me how swiftly he can get it done.Most of us wouldn't have the fan belt off in the amount of time he has the entire deed done.Thank you Dave once again for providing your expertise.

Lots of stories throughout the show while it was happening.Will was working hard to get 2 rolls in,the second was plateless.The 12 valve owners in attendence now can see how little a difference the removal of the plate meant for power.I know Will was a tad dissappointed as he had done some more mods(new SBC DD and a Adkin's 55) but it will come around and he will find the tune for the big number he is seeking.Lloyd and his "sleeper" 05 ride with Iceman's old twins had the big numbers for the day and he almost caught his idol Dockboy for power and torque.Guess that means Greg will be off burning the midnite oil to make sure he keeps Lloyd in line at Fall Brawl.

All in all and great show and a beautiful day meant alot of fun for those who attended.Thanks gang and see you all at the Brawl........Andy

 

Thanks for that writeup Andy, and thanks as always for keeping everything running smoothly.

 

it was great to meet a few folks, my buddy and I talked to andy for a bit while eating lunch and i believe i have him hooked on cummins...he wants one badly. got alot of compliments on my truck (thanks guys) now i jsut need to get her stacked...and comped

i am gonna put her on the dyno come fall brawl on sunday if i have the disposable income to do it...but id like to get a comp before then. truck has been running really good since the new clutch, and i actually played with a mustang GT this morning that couldnt seem to put very much distance on me. i think he got a lil ticked that this old clunker engine truck kept up with him.

also you local guys...i have for sale a set of stock 02 aluminum wheels 16x8 and a 3 gauge pod mounted on a stock pillar that im not using so i want them out of the garage. willing to do trades or partial trades for them if anyone has any worthwhile parts im looking for. cant wait to see you guys at fall brawl

 

Hey Lloyd - it does go higher than 1775!

Greg, you are a madman.

 

if anyone was paying attention, we are the highest horsepower on a single turbo. It was cool to leave so early though we got aloto of stuff done like burn trash becuase you ccan only do that opn saturdays. See you's at Fall Brawl, where we will be broke, were bringin both trucks if we can get the white one working right.

hey andy, not to be mean but look over the dyno #'s for us again. look at crossy's pic, we are 489.1Hp. o well no ones perfect.

Durn that restrictive data cable!

Cody, Lloyd mentioned that he has noticed the same thing. The number on the screen and the number on the printout are slightly different. Supposedly it has something to do with the printer software.

 

Even computers seem to suffer from driveline losses.

 

Hey fellas, I was talkin with SmokinDog about maybe getting 10-12 trucks together and coming over, if that is all right with you. We would like to meet some of you and swap some stories, and see some trucks. Will wait for OK confirmation prior to setting anything up. Have a good one.

 

Sorry I missed the M/D event? Guess I wasn't paying attention. When is the next event so I can mark my calendar
