Hey Charlie, this is why you need a Vice President, to come up with ideas like mine did.

Big Blue is a happy camper tonight!
He dynoed 454 hp on a stingy dyno at Dr. Performance in Weatherford, Tx.

Romario beat the ProjectX 03 CTD of Greg Hogue. He (Romario) dynoed 925 hp on #2 diesel only.

I definitely want to make this one!
Hmm, what are the chances of shooting a 2nd Gen with Charcoal StarLight Metallic in the shop?

Romario layed down 904 HP on his last of 2 runs - technically the winner, but the event rules were changed midstream to allow both X and Aaron's rig to dyno 917 & 924 HP respectively with nitrous loads... the drama was quite entertaining!

Tyler is blessed - he both broke 400HP AND has a hot sister!

X made 89X HP with NO2 during it's initial 3 runs, but came back with more spray & underhood wrenching to squeeze 917 out during the last 3 attempts.

Is there a gas leak somewhere between Mckinney and the red river or what? No posts in several days there must be something wrong.

Nothing to report. Me, RJ and Tyler is not exactly a crowd. RJ didn't have his truck, but Tyler did get his injectors changed and new door speakers put in.

Due to lack of interest and other commitments , will probably will not schedule anything else until spring.

Don't forget me and a valve adjustment...

And I finally got around to replacing my starter contacts this evening. Pretty good reason why it wouldn't start too reliably, one of the contacts was almost burned all the way through. Just barely enough material left on the contact surface to still fire.

Next project...drop the tank and fix the fuel level sender. Just wish I knew when it was close to empty.

Duh!

Sorry 'bout that. Guess that's how out of it I was.............

When you get ready to drop the tank, let me know. If it's not too cold, we can do it at The Ranch. Nothing like a little spilled diesel to kill the weeds.
