Click on this LINK to see Neal on track and dyno. There are lots of pages but go through them and watch the vids of the dyno and track. Have fun.
Neal, don't jump the gun on what I said. The brass donuts after install have to be run through a heat cycle and then retightened. I'll be damned if I can get my fat hands in there from the top or the bottom to retorque them! I tried long extensions from the bottom and removed the DP at the top, no luck. When I first got them I broke one just trying to get it on the uppipe but Bean sent me another one. They said to heat up the donut and they will go on. I had a heck of a time just doing that. Looking back I wish I would have just gotten the, excuse me, chevy ones and put them on. Travis, do I need a different kind of pedestal? I got the one without the EBPV.
OBS bellowed up pipes are BIG MONEY. At least twice what the SD ones are.
Somewhere there was a website that you could order your own bellows and weld them in, but I'm not sure on the stockers if there would be room for a bellow section or if you'd have to reconfigure some bends.

LoL. it needs somethin, not sure what though. I'm going to revise some of the stuff on my bars, change shocks, and pull the lift blocks out of the rear to see what that does for my launches in Crandall this year. 
I just can't keep the tires on the ground so i have to launch at idle pretty much. I haven't tried launching at real high RPM for fear of carnage, but maybe i will try it one day. Fastest 60' from mine was at the DRD drag day(stock truck) and it was 2.7 seconds.
Neal, check out Carson Stauffer Diesel. I'm pretty sure that they make a nice H2E kit. Not sure if the uppies will bolt straight in place of yours, but IIRC they were bellowed. Also i'm pretty sure his kit was significantly cheaper than Hypermax's mounting kit, but i don't remember. Something to look into for sure though. beats the donuts big time!!!

I will have to look at Stauffer, see what he gots. does he have a website?
I think I need to contact Beans, Hypermax and Carson to fix this problem. Surely between all three I can come up with a fix. Otherwise I will have to more research and try to do it myself. My problem is time.

Neal, here is Carson's website... Welcome to Carson Stauffer Diesel Service
Give them a call and see what they can do to help you fix the problem. I saw a pic of his uppipes somewhere and they are sweet!! I just can't remember where that pic is now.
