if spike ever made a solid pass you would think a 440 at 3000lbs with twins would do some serious damage

hayhauler hasnt been the same with the latest motor

This. Over and over. There is only so long you can 'debate' with and explain to people certain things before you realize you're wasting your breath and your time is better spent elsewhere. Some of the biggest names in this industry/hobby have no idea what they're doing, and customers by the thousands aren't even aware of it because they can't apply the scientific method to figure it out. If you want to improve on yourself, you've got to surround yourself with people better than you are. I realized that after I had an unnecessarily lengthy conversation with someone trying to explain the difference between volume and mass. This guy sells hundreds, possibly thousands of camshafts a year. **** like that makes a guy sick.

Well, I know I like reading on this site. I'm pretty geeky though. I spend a lot of time searching around for answers and trying to put concepts together. I appreciate what others have accomplished here. I was late to the game, but that worked out pretty well for me. I was able to buy a lot of parts second hand and learn from other's trials and errors.

I'm finally getting around to putting my 6.0L together. I couldn't have done it without the help from others on this site. Science and all.

So thanks to all that came before me. I appreciate it.

right now i think the only one would be spike, and i wonder if canalla (flaco) can be faster with the same setup, he isnt running very high boost yet and made 7´s look kinda easy

flaco built hayhauler from the ground up and has gone 8.07 im sure now that he already has a 7 second truck if the owner of hayhauler wants he can go 7´s
