LOL! I'm lucky to have great friends to help push me along. I've been keeping an eye on you Pete, every time I turn around you're getting faster and faster.

lol not as much as you guys. I finally jumped up to some 240hp injectors and I'm working on a bigger bottom charger. I was looking forward to my trip out to NC in a few days but unfortunetley my school seat was denied. I cant wait to get back ou there with all of you. This is the kind of motivation I need to get back in it.

Pete:
Good to hear from you buddy!
Yeah, Mike is definitely "knocking on the door" of the 11's and I think shortly he will be there. As I said above, he has come a LONG way.

WAY TO GO MIKEYOH!! Good Run 
I noticed not a lot of smoke...What's Up? You puttin lot's of air in there? You must have the power to turn 12.1 Compared to oo powerstroke you were pretty clean, I didn't see all the exhaust due to the wall. I wish i could'a been there but i had a hay field to cut, what a mess. Again congratulations hope to get with ya'all soon maybe OBX. Augie

Thanks for finding that video Brian, you're the man!
To answer some questions. I run on fuel only, no nitrous or water/meth. VP44's are pretty sensitive to the size of injector you can run, in my opinion. My truck has over 170,000 miles on it now. I replaced my original vp at around 96,000 so my current vp44 has around 75,000 miles and the pump has never ran without a wire tap box. With that said, I've done nothing new here, people have run into the 11's with a vp44. I'm just happy to be getting close to a 12.0.
Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. It's nice to know some people are still interested to see what a regular vp44 can do.

Nice run Mike!! Im getting close to you guys in my Ford. Not 00PowerStroke fast but on my way. After the event was over I decided to take the truck down the track a few times:
1st run RT.366
1/8 9.845
1/4 15.5
2nd run RT .546
1/8 9.930
1/4 15.649
3rd run RT .076
1/8 9.827
1/4 15.533
Consistent, but still have a little way to go.

Hey what happened to you on Saturday anyway?? I don't think we saw you once after you and your Wife stopped by before the event started.

Thank you!! We walked by a few times but you guys were pretty busy. No worries though, we had a little BBQ at the camper and little guy was a HUGE pain in the rear. We ended up staying till about 10 ish. He enjoyed his first diesel event though. EXCELLENT time though!!!!
