Its not down at Keystone its up at Wyotech, where i go to school in Blairsville... I am hoping to put it on Kevin Barr down at Smithton Hole in September, then he will probably ban me or tell me I have to bump classes...lol

Now Adam, your not honestly saying that your goal in life is to compete and beat a tired old 7.3L truck is it? You should gun for Jeff Harting! He has that silver reg cab with the single stack. If you were at Butler, I think he pulled a 6th place there. Good luck with your build up, may God be with you and your Cummins!

 

[04cumminsram]

the 04 or 05 with the single stack from ohio? Is he an older guy?

 

[04cumminsram]

oh larry by the way i beat him with stock injectors in dayton, just fyi for you there... so it shouldnt be that hard to do again, just watched the video on you tube again

If you took down Jeff, I can't see Kevin giving you any issue at all. Kevins truck is a good running 7.3L, but it is a 7.3L. Kevin is in love with the old 7.3L truck and engine and has a lot of time and love invested (and money!) invested in it... but trying to race or pull with a 7.3L truck today is a major uphill battle. I think your little Cummins should have no fear at all.

Did I give you some of the machine work dimensions that you may want to discuss using on your block and pistons? If not give me a call and Ill give it to you.....if you so choose.
