sounds damn good, now turn up the boost and get some sticky rubber under there
I can up the boost more but there's no point without traction. Jake(smokeshow) was having traction issues in 3rd gear with it when the boost was at 14psi. At least with the boost where it is now I'm ok with anything above 50mph

Gotcha, mine are 9.5 as well, their site "suggest" I get wider wheels if I want to run more than the 275/35R20. I hate wheel shopping!! ugh!

How'd the house shopping go after you left my place?
Went to visit that summer camp again in Buda, was about 10 minutes from your house using the back roads. Then headed North to Pilot ****, Moore's crossing and Del Valle and saw some land/properties. They were all a little too isolated though, like I really lived in the sticks.
After that I went up to the stuffy Lakeway area and checked out a couple houses that were at the airpark and immediately wanted to buy a house there!
Had lunch with Aida and by then it was early afternoon so I checked out two old brick buildings for sale in downtown Kyle which were cool except they were a bit too small and no vehicle access in the alley. Then I saw another one in San Marco which was in downtown as well but had similar problems with the ones in Kyle. So far the best bet is that 9,000 sq/ft building in Taylor. We'll see what Aida can come up with in the next 4-6 months. Hopefully something good.

Area, traffic, traction and there were cops right around the corner!
Found a empty street a few minutes later and did a nice long pull up to 140. Nobody filming it though.

Take a video of your boost gauge from a dead stop. Thats biggest problem I have with turbos. When Im sitting in traffic and need to punch it to merge or whatever I want ALL my power NOW, not wait for it. That was the only thing I hated about my Dmax.

Screw Taylor dude, out in BFE. You need to find something in in south Austin or further south. Taxes outside of Austin and Travis county are HALF of what it is up there. If I were you Id buy a bit of land somewhere and build you an insulated steel building. I could do the foundation and driveway for you and have connections for steel erection, plumbing, and electrical. For about 100K you could have a 80x120 insulated shop with living quarters and it would be exactly like you want it.

Aida is good, Im sure with some time she can come up with something for you.

You can run 315 on your wheels
They recommend wider wheels but you can run them
