Funny you ask Ron, Chris had this conversation with Jody yesterday, and the man himself told us .................................................. ............

OK...Brandon just handed me the computer, so bear with me because I'm typing and drinking a beer at the same time. hehehe! Jody told me that the IDM mod is not worth it (at least to him) unless your running 500 HP or better. the ICP(oil) is more what he needs to get the HP numbers up.

The IDM mod is a requirement for the 110V IDMs but the 120IDMs already do what is commanded by him.

O.K. here is your Friday Update.

the Dyno was up and running some today (for volunteers who are assisting with the big day on sat) Y'all just dont understand, there is more money invested in trucks in this place than disney makes in a week.

crum71,(scott) and his wife are here, JRCiii56(Jamie),and JDecker88(JD) came out and played today.
The Drag races this evening were postponed (Rain) till tomorrow. Now dont think when I said the rain word that it is a washout, but a couple of little spotty showers will not let the trucks run. sooo, a few of us are sitting by the campfire and talking about everything, and anything and we are having a good time.

Somebody remind me in the next few days to tell the Live tuning story......

Thanks Ron! The man himself acknowledges that the IDM is worth it even after he's done everything he can do......That is indeed good news. Dispels a lot of theorys.

Did any smokers get one done in time to dyno it?

Brandon Yes to the live tuning story we won't some fact's and i know i'am not the only one that want's to know your fuel mileage on the way home, if it is a improvement. Thats after you learn to quit trying to push a hole in the floor board.

Hey y'all up there in Gatlinburg, did it quit raining on you, I hope? I can see the radar as far as Asheville, NC and see no more there.

Look at it the other way. Once Jody has done everything he can do.....the IDM mod will still provide a power increase. That is something it will do on a 200Hp truck too.
