Hell, the other night I talked to a high school kid in the Chik-fila drive through window for 10 mins. about what exhaust he should get for his truck. On the flip side, I ran into a guy who had a blown 427 extended cab the other day and asked him a bunch of questions and humped his tail pipe while he was turned the other way.
congrats bro ..... and about that extended cab 427 blow .... what color was it...?? and what year...??

I was back home in Temple Texas visiting and he was at a gas station on I35 headed to Austin not sure if he was from there or just going to visit. To tell the truth I really didn't care and wasn't paying too much attention to what he was saying I was too busy drooling inside his engine bay. It was an 03-07 model, jet black, murdered out, black wheels, smoked tail lights, black bed cover, dropped loooow, dualed out exhaust double tips dumped in front of each back tire(I thought that was cool, going to see about doing that to mine) The engine bay was immaculate too, not over the top with a lot of BS, just neat and clean.

Ouch! Well at least you didn't get hurt and all it was is the head gasket. Seen a NOS detonation first hand and it is not pretty. Good luck on the dyno, that's a monster shot, hope everything goes ok. Try to get a video and post it up, i'd like to see it.
