Hey TX, if for whatever reason 1slow can't do it or has a change of plans, I could get it knocked out for you, or we could do it at my friend's house in houston if there is any welding or cutting going on...let me know I'm pretty much available all next week as far as I know.

If it was on Allen's dyno then go mostly by the TQ numbers, they seemed closer to a Dynojet than the HP numbers. I only turned 220 HP on that dyno in third gear and about 275 TQ. Went to a dyno day and turned 286HP in 2nd gear on a Dynojet. So what I'm trying to say is take dyno numbers w/ a grain of salt and put it on the track. That will tell you the real story. Just make sure you can get that thing hooked up and you'll be murder on the track...Zed

. We tuned the a/f because the meth and cam together with no prior tune was making it run very rich. No other tuning was done because I thought something was messed up and didnt want to push it. We thought maybe the trans or TC was slipping, but the fluid looks new. I thought maybe my rockers were too tight I had a valve hanging open, but I checked compression today and it is fine. So I'm going to just run at the track and see if my truck is indeed falling on its face. Only thing is....the truck feels stronger than ever on the street.
