    What all you get done to it to make it wiggle?
    This 605/2050 is.. idk it’s decent off the bottom end for torque but my 12.7 gets that 80mm spinning and I be pretty sure she’d ### drag this x15 backward up a hill with a load on and the tires blowing off.
    What can be done outside of a pdi intake? A buddy said we can do that thing some people don’t like and get her to 2k at the same time…..
    Said they usually last three pulls down the track at that hp tho. Not really what I’m looking for.

    Put a yellow engine in it, I know Detroit guys say they are junk, but a series 60 in a 95 Pete that had like 200,000 miles on it was the only engine that ever left me stranded when it decided to throw a rod out the block just cruising down the highway at 70mph, so I really don't like em much, they are still better than the red devil engine though.

    The funniest thing about that video is the lady says maybe it was a quick start that made that lumber smash into the cab of the truck..... You can't even make this crap up, the driver probably had "legal" securement on that load, but didn't have the experience to know to way increase his following distance and not just slam on the brakes, that's a new enough rig to probably have disk brakes on it, and with lumber you can run into issues real quick by stopping to quick. No matter which way you cut it the driver is still at fault, experience goes a long way.

    Yeah, I caught that, but just attributed it to the typycal fake news of today. No research, no knowledge, just spouting what sounds good to them.....not anyone else. It's amazing really. Journalists have a lot of time to check things, they just don't do it, making them either lazy, or ignorant. Neither is an appropriate trait for a real journalist. Other option...someone else wrote it, and she's just the pretty talking head reading the teleprompter or story notes. :)
