Nice work brian. Congrats!!!!! Would be sweet to see you get that thing to hook.

On a side note, would be a fun race to see brian and paint race each other now.

Congrats Brian. That is some really strong MPH. If you can get it to hook, I bet you'll be in the 10s.

Well, had a "explosive" afternoon. :roflmao:

Tested my intercooler system, tank had 80psi in it, turned the regulator up to 10, heard a small leak, to tried to turn it up a bit more, and kinda turned too far, went up to 40psi, as soon as I said "&*$^" the 4" cap 'sploded off the front of the turbo, hit the garage door, and I was already across the street scared out of my mind :roflmao::roflmao:

Tried it again at 30psi and found 4 leaks on the cooler. All where the core meets the end tanks on each end of the cooler.

After sitting at 25psi for 10 minutes, it drops to 17psi. :(

Have a dyno day up north in 2 weeks, then it's coming out and sitting. Gunna put a mishimoto in it.

And Thanks! It's definitely been fun with this truck. Learned a lot more than I thought I would during the build and racing it since. Engine turned 3000 miles today :cool:
