If you do the Mods you've talked about you will be over 400. Easily done with the right tuning. It's the tuning, especially live tuning, that squeezes the most HP out of the mods. I doubt I would have dynoed as well or broke 9 seconds in the 1/8 mile without Jody's live tuning.

I'm going this year. When is it? Missed the last two years that I've known about it,but not this coming year. I will make it happen. Maybe my truck will turn over 300k when I get there. Can't wait!!

Sheryl, the Boys and I are planning on attending.. It is a Fantastic event, and as others already said, the people are what make it, the trucks are just the excues.

For those that were there, did the writer make it know or was it a behind the scenes thing?

I think most people knew he was there. Chris is a 'car guy' and certainly has the diesel 'fever' now - even if its not a PSD. I enjoyed meeting him and that alone makes his articles more fun to read!

Well, having helped plan the first event and attended all three, I will be there next year if it is at possible and have no reason to think I would miss it. It's not about the trucks or the power, but about the fellowship and brotherhood. I've met friends and found family I will have forever. I think we are planning for a week earlier, the third weekend July for this year as of now.

Nice !! Diesel fever is contagious no matter the shell around it, but always best under a ford wrapper.. !!

What Barry said. I have been there for all 3 and had some great times. I dont have a Powerstroke at the moment but I plan on making it to the next RRE with or without a diesel. Hopefully with one

I'm just 15 miles of RRE. Didn't know about the first two. Made the last one and don't plane on missing another that's for sure. Got to put a lot of faces with names and meet some real good people.
