I didnt have my SCT with me so i couldnt put on my SRL+ and try...thats what im running now and its great
Those are some good #'s Miles.
I also love Matts SRL as a DD.
I do not have the SRL+ do to the weight of my truck.
I don't what to rip things apart.
I put mine on a dyno years ago before the turbo, FICM tune and other things and put down 376/696.
So I would guess I am around 425/750 now.
But all dyno's are different.

Good morning all. They are saying overcast but no real rain today.

Just a note on the Dyno test back at Minuteman, I think that people were saying that readings were a little on the low side that day. I have been told that they do vary from Dyno to Dyno. Speaking of Minuteman I haven't seen Wade on the CT site. He always had good stuff to say.

Well I'm going to buy a battery operated weed wacker to use around the camper. Hoping I choose wisely. Black & Decker?

You should get this bad boy:

Craftsman Craftsman 40-Volt 12" Cordless String Trimmer and Edger - Lawn & Garden - Trimmers & Edgers - Cordless Line Trimmers

My parents have a 40v blower that does a pretty impressive job for a battery operated tool. I've never heard someone regret having too much power.

Sometimes ray is too optimistic.

My lawnmower launched it's muffler yesterday while I was mowing. Time to break out the flowmaster catalogue.
