there's going to be 2 fast white dodges on the track. if the air's right one of them will be in the 11's. i don't know what mine will be turning. but good news i got my pump back from john today so it'll be going on the truck. along with my rail cap.

bring the fass. i'm sure we can get it on in time also. if you have to put in a stand pipe be sure your fuel level is low. cause believe you me, it's a son of a ***** to drop and hang back up with fuel sloshin around.

chrisreyn tell that wife of yours where to go right to the passenger seat of your truck cause ya'll are comin down to hang out with your buddies. and if she don't like it then fine, and do whatever it is she wants.

mike, that sucks about the pork rinds them things was G. U. D. good. and maybe you can get another pic of my truck like the one on the dyno. you gotta send me that i love it.

Stand pipe will remain the same. All i have to do is change the line at the top of the tank, run the lines, install a switch and cut the return line for the FASS system plus bolt it to the frame. I'm leaving the stock system in play for right now, just unplugging the lift pump. I'm going to take the Edge box off tomorrow as I am finally fed up with it and want nothing to do with it anymore or trying to figure out what is wrong and keep sending it back and it not being fixed. I have had to drop the tank with a full tank.. It was a **** **** **** **** ***** ****** *****..... I will not do that again. I figure with having a dually and not having any inner fender wells drilling the holes for the mount should be easy. Its just a matter of hooking it up to the switch/where I want to put the switch mainly. I have a certain toggle that will be the only one used inside my truck so its just a matter of rilling a hole and installing it.

It shouldn't take mroe than a few hrs to put them in. Let me know what you guys think. You said you wanted to be down there about 8 or so I was thinking about heading out from here around three. And it we get done early, by the sounds we may have some time to grab a drink or two before we go. I hear PM has a tap pretty much built into his hand.
Ok on Sat. We can leave around 3. What about tomorrow? How about Home Dept. on the east side of the parking lot facing Glenstone. 6:15.

Well I can do that. I know glenstone fairly well. If I'm a few mins late its cause I'm searching for the right parking lot but Home Depot is facing James River isn't it? I think that will work, if not I got a big black 2nd gen duallie, just wave me over, you won't miss it.

The back of the building is toward James River. The east side of the parkiing lot you'll see me in a 3rd gen Patiot Blue Qcab dually with a flatbed.

What time do you want me to roll in? I have been in constant battle with Edge over a few of the boxes I have been working with. One is showing MAP sensor voltage too high too long and I know its not the truck as I have put it on other trucks adn teh same code comes up. This is just my box, 2 of my customers had problems with their attitudes that Edge refuses to warrenty do to that fact they have also had injector problems and don't blame the box. The fass system is already setup to lenght, the only thing out of teh ordinary is setting up my swtich which just is a matter of running the wires wehere I want it. The lines and everything are cut to lenght and ready to install. The return line for the fass has to be cut into the fuel pickup line. The connector tubes and injectors are easy as anything else. Your going to laugh when you see the intake manifold bolts lol. They are butchered from the previous owner. I had to smash them to fit a 9mm wrench jsut to get by until I get over and get a few in. I got a haisley boost fooler that I have wanted to put on but I don't really need it until I get the turbo/s on. The edge I have just given up on. I have decided to go with TST from now on as I have not liked dealing with the Edge stuff lately. But whatever time you think you want me down there let me know. I will most likely see you tomorrow night though. And next weekend I'll be down in Clinton AR for the chuckwagon races for labor day. I'm hoping I'm not missing much next weekend.

Good to hear you've got your prioritys straight. Who's got the little grill for some burgers and hot dogs? Mines not little or portable. If everyone brings their own food and someone brings the grill we don't have to do the "well I'll bring this and you bring that thing". With the exception of everone has to bring beer for PM. I think I've got a way to hang a beer out in front of PM windshield so he'll race faster to catch the beer.

There is a bounty for the first 3.99 in the big tire class. Hanging beer in front of Pack may just get him to pedal/flintstone his truck down the track and pick up the bounty.

If a friend of mine is unable to get his normal farrier to come out and reset a shoe on his horse tonight I will have to go do that before I can make it to the track. He needs his horse for early business Saturday morning. GS , depending on your schedule you could probably use my place for working on your truck if you have to. I have the room but my shop isn't finished yet.

MC, thanks for the offer. I have a few other things I have to plan on doing but i don' want to impose, especially considering its not even done yet. Right now I'm looking for a smaller barn/garage to rent in order to get my truck done and my other truck down here form PA and in it to start building it. I appriciate it alot MC. BTW I loosed at jensens page, it wasn't a 2.89 it was a 3.89 big tire. I don't drag race too much so I had to go back and look to make sure. Its Andy Jensen's vette. Whats it looking like tonight? It seems to be storming pretty hard over here. Still drag racing later?
