25psi is too much for the VP44, it will cause premature failure. You shouldn't put more than 20psi to it, unless you are running some really serious mods.

The way that I explained it is the way it says to do it in the bullydog big fuel kit... . only difference is Bullydog gives you new hose.

Buy a sports car

The only thing a sports car has on me is aerodynamics.

That is so true! I have a friend who has a s2000 Honda & its side by side till 5th gear & he pulls ahead after 110mph. The windy roads get me bad..... he wins by miles!

Just a thought , This applys to some people i know and sometimes my self!

A very wise man once told me you can strive all you want to be the fastest , best looking truck, with the most chrome, most lights, biggest pipes , and the most black smoke, and alot of attitude just to be outran by someone that is faster, with a better looking truck, with more chrome, more lights and bigger pipes with alot more black smoke, alot more attitude and probably alot more money... . or you could just not worry about being the best and be happy with who you are and what you have! Its not always about being better than someone!

That is true... . someone will always beat you somewhere & sometime. It's not about being better than anyone... . Its about having fun & enjoying life & the many great things that God created. We are all just having fun & trying to get our minds off the high mortgage rates & over due bills, penalties & marriage next Saturday @ 2:00. We just try to have fun & for that time spent behind the wheel... ... It sure feels good to be me.

Amen to that! God intended for us to be happy! People we're happy until we opened the door for regret. So many people HAVE to spend money they dont have, it gets harder everyday! I agree, my truck is a great release for me! I see so many people..... one person inparticular (no one in this post) that get so mad because someone is faster or makes almost the same HP or someone has a better truck! WHO CARES!!! its people who get mad about silly things like that , that end up with depression , hypertension, and heart disease! I just wanted to say that sorry! i really see alot of people who dont enjoy the hobby or have fun in life because there too pride related!

so will the holley supply enough fuel or too much?

If you run the Holley Blue by itself... . you will get 14psi idle. That pressure is fine, but when running big sticks & a box... . you may pull it down to 5psi or so. I would run them both, but I am not trying to start a arguement or anything. I only try to help fellow members as they do me.

I have raced my boss in his new 6. 0 auto and beat him BAD,and I was rowing gears. This was just with my edge comp and Fass, even before I installed the BHAF and exhaust.

I have one kinda like that too! She doesn't work on her car or my truck, she watches real well tho (she can fuel her car, add oil, check fluids correctly, and can drive intelligently I might add tho). She'll go with me racing as well. Laughs her *** off when I smoke people! My last serious GF got a b1tchy if I would too have some fun.



*off topic, but still female related*



Ever date a girl that got ****** off when you went 5mph over? Or changed lanes with no one around without your blinker? I dated one of them freaks for a week. Then you ride shot gun with this freak, she scares the crap outa ya with basic not watching the road, running red lights, drifting into other lanes, ect? She got tossed REAL QUICK.

for those who thought I was "scared" of the big bad 6. 0, I FINALLY got to run one last night... he pulled away from a light hard, making a lot of noise... straight piped, filter setup, maybe a programmer?



so I sped up down the highway to catch up with him... I guess he saw the cab clearance lights, he laid off in it and I was just closing the gap, so he knew I was hungry...



He paced up beside somebody and the cargo light came on (which means the interior light came on... which tells me he was turning something on "kill mode" )



as soon as the cargo light went off, he sped up to give me a hole to get up next to him... he hit it with me about 2 lengths behind him, I reeled him in QUICK and was about to put a bus on him and he shut down :-laf



he got in the right lane after I passed him, so I got in the left, and he ran up behind me (I guess he wanted to hear what a real truck sounds like)



I knew he was gonna try a fly-by, and I'd already put a hurtin' on him, so I let him get a running start from a length back, once he was at my door, I laid off in it, and put a hurting on him



I got out of it, and he kept on rolling, gave me a honk-honk and a thumbs up and went on his way



good times
