Man I was so pissed off in Houston, we were having so many problems. (Lol so for the slow replies)

Making 21 pounds of boost, lifted the heads, and the IAT's were getting over 280* at the end of the quarter mile run, not to mention the timing was getting retarded to negative advance. Plus the dyno was off 200 ponies, and we were down another 200 due to only being able to run 5* advance on the dyno. Just couldn't keep it cool.

Oh well, I'm working on revamping the intercooler and finding the right pulley to turn the boost down to about 16psi at sea level.

What's weird is it made 1067horses at 1700 ft up in the air and the IAT's were only about 130ish. I wonder if maybe there's a plug in the aftercooler inside the intake manifold.

Regardless, District Speed seemed to like the truck, be sure to watch till the end!: TX2k12 Dyno Day on Vimeo

By the way, Rex lives here in my home town and we have a bit of a "Raging War" Going on.

Are you running meth with that? You are just asking for massive detonation and melted pistons with those conditions...ask me how I know

I will be soon, however, I have to use a ton more due to the fact that I'd be injecting before the rotors, not after

Thanks man! And believe it or not I run what you see on the truck. 18x9 Boss wheels, with 305/50/18 Mickey Thompson Sportsman Radials. Hooks like a champ on a well prepped track, but for street use it'll still smoke all 4 tires down like nothing.

The a great all around tire. Classy tread design, low noise, low tread wear for a soft compound tire and a great ride. Squishy handling due to the sidewall though...

Just run direct port meth injection. Fill up with meth instead of pump gas lol. Costs about as much as gas. You'd get worse mileage but thats not the point
