Keep in mind Bluethunder races in high altitude so the #s are off compared to low elevation tracks.

Truck feels great but the tranny is on it's way out. I am selling my house next month though and that will free up enough cash to fix it and possibly try to run more boost. 12psi on a low compression setup isn't really taxing it. I'd like to build a backup motor and hit it with 15-16psi

Make sure and let me know when you come down. Even if the truck isn't running I wanna meet up with ya.

I dont see why you couldnt get a Rumble bee with a 4.7 vice a Hemi. It is just an appearance package and a few other things. The Rumble Bee is like the Regency package for us. Not much there and cost way to much. Not worth it in my opinion.
