It was great. Heading out early tomorrow morning. Stopping in Virginia for the night, and then home on Tuesday. Boy does the truck need a wash, I really can't stand how dirty it is right now. Up to 1750 miles so far and expect something like another 900 or 1000 on the ride back.

Ya, it's just being stubborn because I'm in a hurry. One of the caps is fused to the main body of the joint. Once I get that off reassembly should be quick.

No dyno for me at this point. I don't have enough invested under the hood to justify the cost. I'm told I my mods should put me around 310-325 probably, although I would have said the same for Petey and he hit 379. Oh well.

We were all thrilled for him. I don't think any of us would have ever expected Petey would have pulled numbers like that with stock sticks and a van turbo.
