I would love to help wit that if I could. You have a rocking cool truck. One that makes me stop in my tracks and talk to strangers, you know what I mean.

Dudes you ALL rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow what an awesome thread. I just spent quite a while reviewing the highlights from it. I truly miss you guys.

Thanks for the good words guys. I plan to make a big showing next year. Bigger than I have ever done in the past. I had to sit the sidelines this year. Bummer but I still enjoyed it. My clutch would slip bad even on the way there. I guess many years of abuse takes a toll.

Luckily I have an awesome brother that is helping me with that. I may be going into surgery with my knee again and he stepped up and took my truck home with him. Seriously what a great guy. Please rep him if you get a chance.

But clutch is not the only thing in the works... stay tuned!!

Replacing a Ferramic single disc (not made anymore) with a dual disc ceramic from Valair. Hopefully my legs can mash that pedal when done. LOL.

I have seen 521hp on this same dyno. Would you be tickled If we saw 600+ from an OBS. DA@#m I sure would. Lets give it a try.

Seriously I miss you guys and I am sorry I am not around like I used to be. Have a farm now and kids are growing faster than I can handle so please forgive me, but just know I am always here in spirit. LOL.
and HP haha

Thanks a good post Neal. Yes, we do miss you but life, as I like to say it, gets in the way sometimes. I'm going to try real hard to make it next year also. Does Clay usually have the event about the same time and place every year?? Knowing that would help me plan as it would all of us!

The weekend of the 19th of July next year Glenn. At the same KOA in Newport TN. See you there!!!!!


And Neal, I'd love to come down and help with your clutch, but I've been busier than a cat covering up crap since RRE. I can't wait to see what you have in store for next year! I'm sure we'll talk again soon, maybe you can tell me a little about it LOL! I got some ideas floating around in my melon too, but I don't think any of them will come to life before RRE next year. Maybe the next one though . I'll get Jason some reps if I can

Yeah Glenn its almost always the same weekend. It has been the past two years cuz it matches up with another event i used to go to every year!

And awesome Neal! Cant wait to see the thread.

edit: pfft you can make 500hp Reliable! haha
but hey youll still be at the 6.7 factory mark!

Anything is better than 220/310.
But remember I had a drivers side manifold leak! Thats gotta be like 100hp leaking out.

The first pull I ever made on a dyno was 204hp. That was with an edge evolution, intake, and exhaust. Lol. It was hilarious.

Neal, if you need anything I might be able to help with to get ready for next year, holler at me. Wish I was closer and could come help wrench on it.

I got my transmission, so now if I can get something else to drive.... lol

Hah! Aaron before you know it it will be a competition for lowest HP!

"Hurry hurry put the pancake back on it. Remove 2 injectors." lol

And wow Travis! I expected with an auto and stock everything that it'd be like 170 at the wheels. I cant remember what the percentage loss is, but for some reason I recall it being 17% loss with a manual and 27% with an auto.

Just guesses not sure.

And you got your BTS? Did you order components... i dont think he allows that you had to ship it and he returned it complete?

Thanks for the kind words Neal and aaron. As I am working on Neal's truck I am trying to take pics(never been good at it in the past). I will semd them to him and let him start his own thread if he chooses. I can tell you at this point of my progress that it was time for a trammy rebuild and a big boy clutch!!!

And I found out saturday that an 8" hood stack will get you alot of attention going down the interstate!!! What a fun ride!!!
