    Here's the video, but again, I doubt he has 2500 hp, he's lucky to get 1400 hp. He has higher top speed than Bouchard but slower ET, I guess his truck is lighter.

    Just turn out the fuel screw and you have over 550.

    He can right after he swaps in a caterpillar..
    Cummins had buttons baby.. :biggrin_255:
    550hp even with the pump wide open on a stocker is a good way to start an argument too.. :biggrin_25516:

    It also has a screw. It has been done without changing button.

    I just noticed that you're across the pond, so I don't how it is over there.. But if a guy around here is after power he'll change the button, spring, add some shims, and open up the throttle shaft screw..
    550 whp ain't a big deal anyway, unless you have a cummins..:biggrin_2559:
    Its all turns into bs in the end, so pay it no mind.. :biggrin_2559:
