On this trip I was more worried about money than time. I knew my profit was limited so I slowed er down.

When I took my ol IDI to southern Arkansas last year my goal was to see how much time I could shave off my arrival time on my GPS. I successfully shaved enough time to make up for stopping for fuel lol.

Ever since I got rid of my mustang several years back, iv slowed down a lot. I used to drive 70 everywhere. Now I go 55 lol

Bill, a few bucks and some time and that OBS will make you forget all about your gassers. Once the power comes on in these things, the torque is just unreal.

Yea but the difference is it takes a few seconds for that torque to wind up. In a gasser, it's there 100% of the time.

Don't get me wrong, I love my PSD, but my V10 is a blast to drive too lol (minus the fuel mileage...)

Well, maybe one of them. The "Brahma Bull" is my baby and has a lot of personal significance, so it's not going anywhere any time soon. I've poured a lot of blood, sweat, tears and beer into that truck.

Doesn't mean I won't develop a kick-*** OBS though...

It won't make you forget about that truck, but a little work on that 7.3L and it will at least outrun and out pull all of your gassers. LOL.

We have a V10 at work. It's a fine motor, but if never take it over what I have now. Especially when I get a turbo...

Off the subject, I gotta say this forum really rocks and has good people. I just nixed my account at another forum because of the ridiculousness. Don't ever question why someone does something the way they did. You find out real quick just how thin the skin can be. This place rocks and its cool that we can have real conversations and not get butthurt when someone disagrees.

Sorry to divert...back on task.
