    Well, the engine is loaded in the truck! Tomorrow morning, I'll spend Easter with the kids and grandkids, then in the afternoon, I'll finish the temporary chiller tank, anfd finish loading the truck.

    I'll leave at 2:30 A.M. Monday morning, and stop and see Wayno. Then it's on to Chico, where I'll pick up Dale at the airport at 11:30 P.M.

    Tuesday we'll be setting the engine up on the dyno, doing electrical and the plumbing that can't be done until the engine is all together.

    Wednesday we should hear and see our efforts 'come alive for the first time!

    So, keep guessing!

    Guys, it's been a long, but rewarding day! We tuned the engine VERY conservatively, never exceeding 5500 RPM, or 14.2lbs boost. I'm not B.S.ing when I say there is a LOT of HP left to be had, but we are not sure at what cost the extra hp may come!

    I've tried to post a couple of short videos, with no luck. I'll try again in the morning-if that doesn't work, I'll post a screen shot of the final run.

    I REALLY want to thank everyone for the support, and kind words of encouragement!

    Well, you win the torque!

    I'm calling this one a tie! no bux said 565 IF we got to 15lbs boost, and we didn't. Still, very good guesses, guys! PM me your addresses, and sizes, and I"ll send you shirts!

    Final numbers were 570HP, 544 ft/lbs torque, at 5500 rpms with 14.2 lbsboost!
