I assume ur talking to me about the red bull. That sucks they are cracking down so hard. I live in texas most of the time but my truck is registered in AL and they dont have inspection there so I can do whatever I want to my truck. Nitrous is definately fun i am new to it but so far I am having a blast with it. I can only imagine what a 300 shot owuld be like. I beleive you know what Im tlaking about(red bull) I cant wait to get my new motor in and shot a 175 but damn 300 a 10# bottle wont have a prayer. You better start racing people for money.

I like the RedBull reference in your sig BTW
I forgot you lived in CA. 91 octane, uggh . OK, just wondering!

What up Justin, sux that you can't go turbo but yeah school is fun......or not haha. You're doin the right thing. Ever consider having one really fast vehicle and than a stock beater???
On another note. I finsihed swapping in a TR224/112 in my truck today. It compliments your TT3000 very well! Its a beast now, but it wont idle. I need to get Rick to retune it. I'm goin for 13's with a totally stock looking engine truck, but I've never even been to the track, next time you go I'd like to tag along and see what I run.

Glad to hear about the education and sorry to hear the tree trunk!
Check your PM's for my withdrawl from the turbo arena....let's just say that DC does not engineer the pistons in the 5.7L Hemi for much boost or poor tuning choices!
