Damn Flyer, by the time you make it out to HRP, I will have a supercharger for my truck too!! LOL

Sorry you won't be able to make it, I will look forward to seeing your truck when you get the bugs all worked out.

Greggo, the way they have been playing free is the only way to go.

I made it out to the local track tonite. I got all of 2 passes in before it started raining. I never did get the spkr box out and I had just over a half tank (I usually go with a 1/4 tank). Needless to say, I was a little disappointed. I ran a 13.48 and what may as well be a 13 flat (12.996) after a pulley swap. The pulley swap I didn't get any kind of traction on the launch though. I didn't heat them up enough I guess. That's still about a half second off from what I was doing. I didn't get a chance to log the first run (with the stock pulley), but I did the other one. I was a little lean and had a little KR. I added some fuel back to it but didn't get to run again. I will get in for free on the 11th of September though, so I plan on going back then.
