Default Rode in the "Farm Truc" today

Well guys, I thought some of you might want another first hand experience.

The truck is crazy fast. I'm watching his foot just barely move, then the boost gauge only get to 6 or 7psi, then you forget all that as the rear of the truck starts loosing traction from 40, 50, or more and fishtailing from side to side. You are thinking to yourself "**** Allen, lift off". Its hard to imagine how it would act if he really could hook up. This is on ET Streets.
I am planning a similar project, but was planning on more boost, but now I'm thinking it wouldnt be of any use on the street w/o tubs and Sportsmans.
By the way, the truck is not gutted. It has a roll pan and no a/c, but everything else is there.
Thanks for the ride Allen.

I road in it when it was 5 pounds of boost and that was insane then. Cant imagine now with the intercooled 10 pounds.

is their any way you can ride with him again with some weight in the back?
like 2 bags of concrete one over each wheel or a engine block tied down very good.
would like to know what it does with a little more weight in the right places.

Well, I add plenty of weight, just not in the back. I damn sure wouldnt want to be in the back of that tail wagging monster.

Ahh, Come on Billy we could strap you in the back and put some aviator glasses on you. It would be awesome.
