We thrashed on this thing (this was 3 years ago) all night long and fired it up to take it to Bowling Green Ky for a diesel event. The drag race got cancelled that year due to tards. These are pics from it's first outing. We had things to finish up and we took tools with us. we worked on it more in the hotel parking lot.

If I remember correctly it did 420hp and kept spinning the tires on the dyno. They had trouble loading trucks all day.

Here was the first attept ever on the strip. I can't remember exact times.






Here's a vid from that night. Ignore the fowl mouthed idiot in the back round. He thinks everything he owns is fast.



The next trip was Union Grove Wisconsin. We faught a brake locking up issue and the intake pipe kept blowing off and broke the windshield. I think it was running 12's when we finally got to make a pass. It was June and hot out. LIke 102* yeehaw! We also were trying to get the suspension raised so the tires would quit rubbing on the big end.
