You getting on your buddy's dyno Bill.

Sucks that you can't drive your own truck.

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.

My thought exactly. I was so happy for Gabe when his truck laid down 553 HP.......but felt bad for him too because he had to experience it from the passenger seat. No thanks.

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!

I think they should have two identical trailers with exactly 10,000 lbs. on each of them, and drag race pulling those.

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!!
