Here are a few of the truck at the Bully Dog/ODRA Dyno Day...........filthy with mud....and still loaded from the trip (minus the Weekend Warrior)....
I was able to dial in a 445 hp dyno on the 2nd run....and said "Log it"! But maxed out on the 3rd run at 506......just to see what it would do on John's dyno. (that is what i expected actually.....not my 'give me' 532 number from last year)
thanks Dually Dog Matt for taking these pics...

Yep after you left everyone else showed up.
It got plenty warm, I saw one of the banks around that area have 109* on their display ......
I made a mistake when I left, I thought I would run down 377, good grief my right foot was more tired than my left one.....
I finally broke 400hp and have the knowledge that I still have more power than what I show. I forgot to turn the defuel parameters either up or off, so I hit 2700 rpm and it went down hill from there

I would have hung around if I knew I'd get my picture took.
I left to find a store and..... just kept heading North once I felt the A/C. Too Hot for me.
I-35 was down to one lane...stop & go... near Valley View, so I headed east x-country. Saw some pretty farm country, south of Gainesville, but my detour took 1 hr to get back to Hwy 82 E to Sherman. You almost can't get to Sherman from Valley View without the Interstate!
NOTE ON DYNOS: Always raise your hood! Only time you get some idea of what's happening in the engine bay at WOT!!
I saw my H2O/Meth shooting fluid straight up in the air.... none into engine.
Have no idea how long it's been that way?? 547 hp w/o H2O/Meth is good input to have, since I haven't dynoed w/o the 'juice' for 4 yrs!
Now have answer to why EGT's have been sneaking higher!

Congrats to Rowland and Robert on bringing home some cash from the dyno. With 100*+ temps, I don't feel so bad about missing out. So when did oyu install the H2O/Meth fountain on your truck RJ? 
Had a good weekend down in Houston, saw some good rodeo action and served (as well as drank) a few beers.
The truck actually got to make this trip instead of the car since apparently 3 girls can't pack light enough to make the trip in the car. The trip down gave me a good chance to work the truck out a bit since it just sees short trips around town usually. You can really make good time when you're in traffic that is running 85-95, it's just not always so friendly on the fuel gauge...especially when running into the wind.
So what's on schedule for the next one?

That is what this is... right? A 'Bracket Dyno'. I knew in advance what class I was in and going for. I tweaked and played with it a little in the amount of time you have on the dyno......and was able to make my 'number' on the 2nd run. Micah was wondering (with me) why more guys don't do the same. I told him I was going to shoot to dyno between 440 and 450 and try to win that class.....then do a full hp run for fun if I could. It did 445 and I said "log it".....that is my 'official' run. The next one is for me and doesn't count toward this event.
You have to really know your truck to get in to that little window. It really surprized me that you took your class with over 50 hp on the table between you and 600. (particularly since you dyno'd first)
I don't recall ever hearing or reading that your 'official' run had to be your 'max' run. If that is the case I would never have a chance to win being that I make to much for the street class and not near enough for super street. Hopefully in time with a few more mods I will be able to compete in the SS class.

Thanks...missed seeing you Justin. And Brian too. Brian you live in Denton right?
They are having a 1/8th mile drag race in a couple of weeks in Kennedale, TX. There are 2 ODRA events this month. Not sure if El Presidente is planning anything though for DTR #8.

I'm thinking I'll be at Kennedale, assuming I won't be swamped with school by then.
Oh and Rowland, I ran to 3200 rpm everytime, but everything started to defuel when I hit 2700, usually I'll be at 2900 before it drops off as bad as it did.
I say it defueled, it really didn't completely, what it did was drop the power levels (went 5 to 4 to 3 to who knows)

neat pics Robert, and congrats to you and RJ for winning some $$. and those turbines look like they may be GE's 1.5MW but I am not exactly sure where you took the pic.
