Well the motor is built and all ready to go. We get it on the road Thursday afternoon, get about 200 miles on it and I am at the first pull. Get hooked to the sled and tighten the chain, green flag waves and Im off and stuck at 3000 rpm. WTF? So I ended up in Third place lame.

My buddy Dillon from Jags shop comes up and said
"Didn't you have your DSP turned all the way to the left?"
Me: "No I thought all the way to the right was full power."
Dillon: "LOL No full power is all the way to the left.
Me: "FML well looks like I took third with my lowest tune. I'll go see if I can make an exhibition hook then and actually turn it up."

Well I was able to do an exhibition hook and all I can say is WOW what a difference the motor really woke up and hauled the mail.

First hook lowest DSP setting:


Second Hook highest DSP setting:

Solid pulls Eric. Looks like you were gonna pull that sucker home once you turned it up. Gonna be a good season for you!!!

Thanks guys! I had to let off at the end because I hit a bad rut and the truck started to hope on me so I figured I'm happy with that pull and didn't want to break anything before my season began.

Nice pull, my front end would have said fuck it off the line. you ought to see the weird shit the front end does with a healthy boosted launch alone.

Great hook! Truck sure woke up on the second run. Was that 4th gear?

"Impressive Green one"

^^^Is that from a movie? I think I heard that somewhere but cant remember what from?

Anyway real nice pull man!

Yep 26" for hitch height but I do like having the lift for the taller tires. Also the extra leaf spring helps keep everything steady.

That was 3rd gear with some rpm room left before I worry about grabbing 4th.

Thanks guys for the compliment.

Thanks Brant! :drink

Looks great Eric! You've come a hell of a long way in just a couple years!
Its scary to think of where my truck started with the Banks and I thought it was the $hit. Now a few more ponies later I feel like I did when I first bought it. :D
