I love how people think I don't know what a radix looks like especially since I have one. The low octane fuel is the best reason I've heard so far, and they didn't think of it. I would think you could tell on HP if it was in the low octane table. The truck was being sold used for 32K they paid like 42K for it new.

Yeah that is right, I was there and saw the whole thing for myself in disbelief. The truck was on the dyno the whole fricking day! I got to talk the the actual owner of the truck and he was not very impressed with the truck's performance. It is detuned for warranty issues. He even took it back to the dealer and bitched about it's lousy shifting(4l60e) but they really didn't do anything for him. The truck doesn't even have a boost gauge. It was a nice looking truck but it was no power house at all. That was the quietest truck i have ever heard on a dyno in my life. It needs a real tune and pulley and some meth injection and a real trany and then it would be worthy. PS the two goons running the dyno were dumber than a box of rocks. Had they actually known what they were doing the numbers might be a little higher. The owner is a cop in Illinios and he was cool, he actually had a real drag car that he was racing in the show. I told him he needed to come to my town becuase our cops don't like us to much anymore,LOL.
