That a nice number Gabe.

You need to live tune it and I bet you you can get very close to 600

I can't get crap off my phone. I have a good video of the OBS that ran a 7.70 but can't figure out how to convert it so I can post it. Maybe I can get one of my kids to help me.

RRE was a great time though. I'm really glad I went although I should have taken at least one pass on the drag strip just to see what it would do. Something to compare against. Next year for sure. Any of ya'll that aren't sure about coming, you really need to make the trip. The campground is super nice, everyone is super friendly, there are lots of services close by and other things to do. And, you get to put names and faces to all the avatars and usernames.

Thanks to all the guys there for a great time!

Edit, congrats on the numbers Gabe! Glad I could convince you to get those injectors. Lol. I would definitely get some back pressure vs boost readings off that thing. I bet the turbo absolutely hates life at that level.

Hey guys, just thought I would post in here and say thanks for representing the OBS trucks!! It was awesome to get the pic with everyone together! I had a great time and towed the super duty back home without an issue! Wish I could have made more than 40lbs of boost on the dyno, but the drag racing was a good time!!

I can't remember the last time I had this much fun. It was all great. The convoy, meeting everyone, the camping, all the events was just great. Now I can't wait tell next year. But I hope we can all get together again before then. I'm also real happy with how my truck ran on the trip there and back. And the 553 on the dyno was alot more than I expected.
