It's 5 weeks to May Madness and the dyno event of the year. Here are some predictions, questions, and comments 
1. Christian of BD Power will foresake his trusty 733 hp ride and bring a 2003 Ram. Who knows how much stuff he can cram under that hood
2. Nowel (HVAC) has 650 hp shown on his website, 648 in his signature elsewhere, but a "mere" 634 on his TDR signature. Now doubt he plans to pull poor old Sickly into the fray with this meager margin over Sickly's 633. 8 hp. Surely he has a few more ponies hidden to crush the opposition, but can his Ram stay clean and drug free?
3. Diesel Dynamics has sold the Blue Bomber 24 valve/P-pump truck (787 hp with nitrous). What violence lurks within the heart of the new blue 2003?
4. Cumminstrokin (Jim) has said nothing since getting 626 hp with Diesel Dynamics injectors and pump on his twin-turboed ride. That diesel-only figure is complemented by his 731 hp last year with propane and nitrous at MM02. Surely he is good for 650 on #2 and 750+ with "additives. "
5. ATS of Denver has a 2003 with THREE turbos and several other trucks. They have promised us some action on the dyno.
6. Will any midwestern trucks show up? Do they have any horsepower? Other than competition from Stacked-n-Jacked's Ram, I predict the western trucks are safe
7. Piers has developed lazer cut, high-flow, "stupid" fueling stuff with a pump so big you drain the fuel tank on one dyno pass
He has new turbos that flow air and spool up, according to recent posts. He has been known to use a lot of turbos on an engine What will the scourge of the north have on the dyno? Can he break through the 600 barrier?
8. Poor old Sickly has been dynoing at 605-610 hp best, even with big injectors having [censored] and [censored] done to them. If he does not get a chance to cool down before dynoing, will he even be in the 600s with that tired old original short block. 150,000 miles on the rings and bearings sure is scary. AFter the HX55 "lag pig" how can he spool up a turbo that is 50% bigger? I predict that unless I get time to change the engine, Sickly won't be in the 600s this time.
9. Who will be the dyno king this time, and will anyone get 650 hp or better on diesel fuel? Which engine flows and makes the power, undervalved or overvalved? Oo.
Remember what day this is, and figure out where we go from here :-{}
