Awesome brian. Glad it's working out for ya.

Got the fire hoses installed. Yeah, I'll be buying a set of 275's or 100hp injectors for long trips. These make power but they are smokey and hot and definately need twins. I fogged out 4 lanes of traffic with them. They idle SMOOTH and took out the 24v clatter. Truck sounds like a 12v now.

But not till after the Dyno Day...Right?

How's the Pyro reacting? Might want to grind down the peg ...so it doesn't break the needle off.

Oh it's probably melted down, he just hasn't hit the boost hard enough yet to blow it out. Can't believe he still hasn't noticed we put his Smarty on half power.

I know him. He's sprayed quite a few acres out at our place in Giddings. Haven't seen him much lately though. Small world, eh?

If I can find some bigger sticks that suit my purposes well, I know where you can find a nice set of used DD2s. I doubt I'll need to keep them for my spares.

Pyro? What's that? Oh. You mean that little thing that goes from one peg to the other. They get hot real quick. Even at 50psi. Definately gonna be looking for some cheap s400's now.

Justin, I might take ya up on the DD2's.

BrIan, nobody asked you about my headgasket.

....That's funny! I didn't know about that!....
Next time, redo the tire size to about 25" and let him start bragging about 29 mpg!!

Moral of that story is...leave your Smarty at home, or lock your truck around "friends".

We actually did that to my buddy big smoky the night before buda. Pulled his starter relay out and put his smarty on half power. He didn't realize it was on half power for about 10 miles and then he got on the CB and went, "Oh god dang it who put my smarty on half power." Guess you had to be there.

I guess I didn't notice it, because I changed it to #3 before I left up there that weekend.

Speaking of mileage.....no matter what setting I use, I'm still getting a little less than 17. This is down from the usual 20 or so a few months ago.
Any ideas........ditch the Smarty...sensor problem....weak VP?

Justin: You don't wave at your friends just because they're driving a green '92 Olds? (On Coit at the light by Wal Mart)

Dan: If you make it down, be sure and let us know. Who knows, I might have time to buy you a cold one.

Charlie my mileage is getting worse as well but it's probably because my injectors haze a little at idle.
