I'm Telling ya i have never seen smoke like this, I have seen prob 50 2nd gens on the rollers,(i cant always pick up on 12 or 24 V . ) and this thing smoked like a freight train, He gave me a HECK of a run. i told him before we started " i am not scared of losing, i just want to see a CUMMINS scooooot down the road. " so "scooting" we did.

ps. he said his EGT's got to 1700' mine were 1450 ish.

correct me if i am wrong, he has a lot of fuel. . so turbo(s) and studs (the basics) and that truck should run all over mine correct??

Romario will be there also. Buck also! Should be impressive to watch!

I saw it today too (well I guess it was actually yesterday now..). Mike has done alot of neat things to it. Im sure he will start a thread w/pics about it when he gets it wrapped up. He told me it should be running this week sometime. Huge Flux's, Liquid charge air cooler, massaged twins, custom intake runners, other goodies.........no stone left unturned to wring power out of it. It should be over 1K hp.

RJ...no biggie...but just a minor correction. Chris's truck is an 05.

WELP....been busy this weekend:







I used the parts i got off Tyler...and i also added a 5" Magnaflow muffler as most everyone with open pipe stacks say they got sick of it after about 2 months.....in cab noise is VERY managable...if not any more than what is was with the open pipe......

And painted my fading bug shild to match the color scheme....


Also regrounded my Comp at the Batt (works again...) and dialed in my Water injection...just turned it up to 30 PSI.....might as well only use it at WOT.....it comes on with the key anyway...didnt want a switch.....

Nice looking install Dan! Your rig is looking better than ever.
You had two sets of stacks in your garage the first time I met you (10/04). Glad one of them finally got on your truck!
Same old story.... the cobbler has no time for his own shoes
