Let me know again how much E.T. was picked up with that mod. Oh yea he lost a second. Went from running 7.9 to running 9.0. Remind to never clean my intercooler.

Very nice job Randy, Larry get that fuel issue fixed so we can go to the track and race. I don't think I have ever outran you before, now that I have a Whipple I should have a good chance.

Mine was even worse than that when I cleaned it!!! It's amazing how nasty it gets. After seeing it I think I'm going to make it a once a year thing to clean mine

I don't think it was ever cleaned. I bought the truck with 48,000 miles and now it has 76,000 miles on it.
