God dang man, that is flat out HAULING, decent 60 too. You get that thing in the 20's, you'll be real close to knocking on 7's!

Air to water and yes...4-bolt heads but they are starting to push just a tad

still have probably .2 in early numbers, and there is still reserve boost available...just not sure how much she'll take
