Just as important it went and came home! I know it was built to easily do that but it is still a great thing on a new set up.

Sounds like it needs a little meth or a little nitrous to cool that charge temp down.

10.5's is still no freakin joke.

i'm sure your get it dialed in and get into the 9's pretty easy. heat is a real bitch while trying to make power. 18-20# should do the trick w/ cooler temps. planning on throwing any nitrous at it?

Thanks guys, yeah after seeing those temps, nitrous maybe a go next time out to help cool things down. I know if I can even get a 70 degree night the truck runs much stronger.

It was just to damn hot out.

Same problems out in Arizona.
