Thanks Dennis!! It is a first over here with this setup, the boys found countless issues with the setup..... think were on the home stretch now! Were hoping for about 800 but if it gets there were at the end of our tether as we want to limit it to more 700 to keep things together. Man I cant wait!

Hey Dennis, thanks man no stress.... with the pick. I havent had time to look at my junk!! I bet your ride looks different all scrubbed down!! It will get much better soon though. It's good to get things done!!
Back, back from were?? did you take some holidays??
Just got home did a full day at the dyno shop getting my engine ready for the dyno, plumbing the fuel system and the intercooler kit and everything. It was a big day, but now the boys have a good baseline and can finish it off for tuesday. Man I cant wait!! I hope to do something on my junk tomorrow, we will see.
