Default *****official tx mile record holder*****

we ran this past weekend in goliad, did 7 runs total, 1st run banged the limiter at the 3/4 mile marker ...did some tweeking and ran 196 on the second run, threw in 2 more #'s of boost " 24 total " @ 1300 or so power level..ran 199 and change 5 times in a row...dammit so close..at the end we ended breaking the log manifold where the wastegate is and was loosing boost, overall truck ran flawless without a hiccup all weekend long...

BIG thanks to HKE for the engine work, FLT for the baddest tranny there is, Circle D for building me a bad to the bone converter at the last minute...

Thanks guys ...we will be back and get the 200 back in Oct.

All that weight from the cameras could be why you didn't hit 200
