[WadeMetzinger]

I thing Jackson will make a pull

Jonathon,



I bet Mike would make a pull if we remember to tell him about it. His dad said that he was going to get a valve body and converter now if it will just run...



Wade

He could already have it if he wouldn't have lost a grand to Wes fliping quarters

 

[HiPerf360]

Im in for Sunday for sure to dyno. I need to get on the dyno this week and tune up a bit so I dont look too weak. Dern thing is feelin kinda lame at the moment.

Saturday might not work out too well for me. Wife is real close to dropping the kiddo.

Looks like we will have some high HP trucks there. Should be fun.

I'm leaven' on Thursday morning, gonna' stop at Mark Kendrick's place on the way. That means I have only 1 day to install my stacks, which the parts won't even be here 'till Wed. around 10am, tic toc tic toc. Good luck to me!



Later, Rob

Unless things change for me I will not be in Tulsa this weekend! I am Very BROKE! I hope things change but the combined hours for the past 3 weeks are equaling about 60HRs I usually make 60 Hrs for 1 week.

Are the drags still starting at 10PM on Sat. night? How about the Dyno, still 11am on Sunday? Looking forward to it.

Don, hope you got your kinks worked out. I guess we will see.

The B-1 is not ready yet so I wont be racing.

 

[HiPerf360]

I would say drags at 9 and the dyno at 10.

Things are looking up for Sunday at the dyno for me. Been messin' around with stuff today. Getting the bugs worked out. May try to jack with the turbo a bit tomorrow, Im only gettin about 34psi or so, cuz I have it wastegated there. May turn it up a few pounds for the dyno runs and go back to the 16 housing. Clutch is holding good where it is though. 4th gear rubber is childs play

Mark, I would hate to see an old, tired, worn out, 200,000 mile 12 valve give you a spankin' on the dyno so you betta' get to tunin' that 24 up.

I'll reserve my boasting toward Katdiesel cuz I dont know what he has under the hood of that rocket of his! Hopefully no NOS!

Jonathon, your on my team, so... .



Don~

 

[Mark_Kendrick]

don, 35 psi is for kids:-laf. you're gonna need more like 50+

 

[Don M]

Ive been to 50 before... it was 2 HP less than 38. High boost doesnt always mean high HP. At 50psi your just blowin a bunch of hot air Of course, being the older of the two of us I can get away with less boost and still make more HP with tuning skills



Don~



this is gettin funny

 

[Mark_Kendrick]

this is the first I've heard of the 'geriatric' factor.

 

[BigYellowIron]

Well,



Can some one post some directions to find the race track?



I'm tring to make plans to come, I cannot plan ahead with my schedule, I have Graduation comming up here in 2 weeks so things have been a little busy.

Seems like everything always goes to **** at the last minute.



How long did it take you guys to drive to KC last time?



Are the motels pretty plentiful there?



What way do you recomend to take to get there:

71s to 44 or 169 south.





Thanks

Adam

 

[Bad340fish]

Adam, I don't think Hotels will be a problem at all. The trip to KC took us right around 4 hours or maybe a little less. I dunno for sure because I did the whole thing on about 1. 5 hours of sleep. We used 169 the whole way. The track is very easy to find off of 169.



When you start seeing signs for Tulsa Int'l airport start looking for the exit of 36th street north(eastbound) exit there and go east. Take your first right onto garnett street. Follow garnett about 2 miles and start looking for tire smoke!!



Jon, help me out here if my directions were to retarted

No nitrous, no propane... . just #2.



I passed on the nitrous for now to go with a new cam (don't have it yet). Nitrous is still in the plans tho down the road, just a matter of getting the $$$$. Also I sprung for some new transmission stuff (also not in yet).



I figure after May Madness... . then my truck should be real interesting at the track... with the toys installed, not to mention adding nitrous
