I didn't see it in the news stand issue I picked up a couple weeks ago.. In general it seems they're 2 to 3 months out on events...

Morning fellas.

I like the idea of a turbo chainsaw. That might be pretty cool.

But anyway we have a Navistar 2013 Maxxforce sitting in the hallway of our engineering building. He was commenting on the turbo setup and how with those two big mambas you could break double digit boost!

Now, I'm no force induction guru, but I had to school him a bit on forced induction on diesels. lol I told him about my mostly stock 97 can make close to 20psi. He about shat himself.

Told him he needs to do a diesel swap into that Iroc.
