It could use a bit of tlc here and there. It needs rear wheel wells and a passenger fender. Cancer is starting to show its way through . Aside for on that I just finished a motor rebuild on it with some minor power upgrades. I'm hoping to hit bd days for a dyno run. So long as it breaks 400 rwhp I'll be happy . Body doesn't look too bad for 442k kms. IMO.

I'd be pretty happy if mine pushed out 400 horse.

Being rear wheel the motor should be closer to 500 I think. But I'll have a better idea after its on the dyno

I'd like to go watch those dyno days sometime. Probably some pretty disappointed people after their dyno run. Probably some happy ones too.

Still 400 at the wheels is pretty good. I guess it depends on what you're shooting for.

It's more than I need. But when I built it I wanted to do it once and not look back and say "man I wish I had done that instead".

Probably the way I would have done it as well. More is always better than not enough. I'd love another 200 hp inside my 6.0. Not really needed but a nice to have.

I don't recognize the name. That's a pretty nice lake when it's full of water. I drove by there on Tuesday then back home on Wednesday. The ice is starting to look pretty soft.

Yeah I bet it's soft. Steamer drives a bricknose f-250 4x4 with chains hanging over the spare tire mounted to the front bumper. His cousin works at lordco. I think he lives closer to hedley. Real nice guy. I doubt I'll ever forget him.

I'll have to watch for that truck now. I seem to spend a fair bit of cash at Lordco.

Hey, Nick. If I see you at the BD Dyno Days I'll introduce myself. Are you a member of the BC Coal Rollers then? They'll all be going and it will be lots of fun with a drift event at the end.

Keep in mind though that unless it's been fixed, BD's dyno isn't accurate. It underrates horsepower figures and doubles torque figures.
