If that's the case, I won't be dynoing my truck on that dyno...... I've been on plenty of dynos. My truck probably has 50+ dyno pulls on it, I can do it myself. I'd rather not put anyone in a position to break my truck for me. LOL Plus, I know how my setup performs and reacts better than someone who has never seen my truck before.

Yes that part about the dyno kinda sucks. I think i felt that much power the other day after i got my truck back from the rear end shop though haha. My truck prob wont be on the dyno next year unless i get a new turbo. It will be on the drag strip though!

Now that's a great idea! Kind of like the semi hill climb pulls! That would be a lot of fun. Of course, you do have a bit of a vested interest in seeing something like this happen, lol.

Oh you've done crossed over to the other side now....I see how it is....LOL!!!

I'm talking about my trans. I wanna see how it does towing. If it tows like I am thinking it will, I will be happy with it. And if it does, I will need head studs, springs and push rods before I do something stupid like drag racing pulling 10k lbs. LOL!!
