So it ain't looking good.

My truck looks like heck anyhow.
If you can't make it up here, usually in Oct, we're down that way for the DHRA event in Bay Town.

Hope the truck still remembers how to run after 2 weeks of down time

Almost feel like I'm neglecting her! Replacing all the compression fittings and nylon hose with push-lok stuff... I miss only losing .5psi per hour!



RJ: Haven't tried out the new tune yet, need to go pick up a truck load of mulch on wed... Sounds like a good excuse!

Mr. president, I'll be down sometime after noon on Friday.

Got my BD RAD (Race Anti-Defueler) installed this weekend. And it worked first try. Not too bad for my electronically challenged fingers. Must have learned something all those times watching Rob, Brian & Charlie do their thing!
It's nowhere as complicated as the DEI Remore Start/Turbo Timer.... but it was a 9 wire nightmare (to me). Had to fish two wires from each of the two junction boxes (White & Black... 25 wires each) above the head cover that run to the ECM & PCM. Pesky little devils to identify and separate out.
Truck does feel a bit faster off the line ... but Ennis will be the deciding factor.

BIG RED - Got your 600 hp ready to play this weekend at Ennis.... or you waiting for Buda?

RJ

The 'Oklahoma Kids' will be there...with camper! (That's all the high schools guys we met at Alvarado.....and me (laugh))
I'm shooting for 600 hp on #2 fuel myself...with this new Quad program in my Adrenaline. Did 581 last week on Speedtek's Dynojet in Haltom City.
Most other Dynojets seem to read 4-5% higher;have to wait and see.

With all of the rain, we will need to be careful where we drive and park this go-round. We may have to keep all of the trucks on the "trail" to the backside. I'll know more about the ground conditions when I get there later this week.

There's still some up there, but another pallett or two wouldn't hurt.

i know we have had rain but is the STATEWIDE burn ban still in effect? well i did some research.. there is no such thing as a statewide burn ban. it is a county to county basis. rick perry cant enforce such a thing. so burn away. and hopefully we can burn at nascar this year.

last november we could only have a COOKING fire. so we got a fire pit put a grate on it and cooked 1 hot dog and 1 hamburger for several hours. made some jerky. haha

So I see that our very own RowJ is now the namesake of his very own Quad tune. Even named in a post on DTR.

I know it just ridiculous!! Like his head isn't big enough already!!

Sorry bad attempt at height joke! lol



I cant believe I haven't even ran the tune yet!! Tomorrow will be the day! Will have to drive it around some before I put the 265s on... Everything is different with those donuts on the truck!

So what does it mean when the inspection sticker on the truck says 02/08?? Think I should get that taken care of?
