    Some what lucky on that. At least you know the top end will be tight. How about rods/mains just to round it out?

    Its a co truck, so not my call. It has just a hair over 500k on it, oil pressure sets 25psi hot, 40psi running down the road, so its well in spec. It consumes a little bit of oil, but not alot. Infact it's due for a oil change now. Need to tell them to change it.

    I wish we could do a cam swap and retune that ###### for about 650hp lol.

    Have heard before 2010 emissions, some had been putting in marine parts. Supposed to have more torque. Not sure if that’s true.

    I'm figuring to continue the 4 to 12 hours out 12Hrs off I do now. May look into doing a MWF schedule.

    Not looking for anything with a sleeper.

    Marine injectors. Flow more fuel. More fuel means richer mix. Richer mix means engine runs cooler.

    I don't know nothing about nothing though.

    It was the great unicorn day!!!

    I saw some totally awesome college girl side boob at a stop light. I almost rolled the window down to say thank you.

    23ish year old shapely girls with no bra wearing a wife beater is just dang hot.

    LOL.

    The state where every road is under construction always. Arizona.

    I bet she was from California...obviously a liberal. Sigh. Wish I could see that side boob again. It was like a unicorn delivering a rare cooked steak with broccoli to a starving man.
