Careful Will. Remember the boy who cried wolf? ;)

Really, though, congrats on the run! You're putting out some
serious power there! You give the rest of us a goal to work
toward.

Good luck with getting 1000+ hp!

Bill, you seem to have caught onto my : mischievous side! lol The truck did just fine Saturday on the : dyno. We ran : the smaller pulley, larger jets in the NOS, and all that other : stuff that I : listed. Oh yeah, Jon, I didn't get 1000 rwhp, but is 914.3@5800 : rpm enough? : Oh yeah, how about 992.8 LB-ft of tq @4100 rpm? I am getting : there! I have : a couple more mods that will get me there, I just have to find time to do : them. Along with the materials to do them with. As far as spinning the : Paxton, I don't think that I will try to go any faster with it. : Oh yeah, I : was also running 110 in it at the time, as I figured the 93 would : sound like : a bag of popcorn in the cylinder heads. We kept a really really : close eye on : the a/f ratio. We had to fiddle the jets on the fuel side of the : NOS just : slightly after the first run. The a/f went up to 15.9:1. We got : it pulled : back up to an average of 14.5:1. It runs a little rich up to : about 2K rpm, : but then leans out a little more and power really picks up from : there. As : soon as I gets some sleep so I can work the scanner better, I am going to : scan the dyno sheets and put them up on my web page. I will hit the high : 8's! If this last mod didn't do it, I have a couple more to get : me there. : Now to find the core to build my liquid/air cooler for the blower! d;o) : : Will : p.s. I meant to get this out before midnight, but dang if I didn't fall : asleep first! lol : : "You better hope there is intelligent life out there somewhere, : Cause I think we got cheated down here on Earth!" :
