Turbo big block is pretty fly. Should be the best of both worlds. Those that do it seem to have EGT's in the basement, I'm guessing because they have not upped the fueling rate? One would presume you can go a lot more fuel than where you are at now (lower button #?)?
Nice job, regardless...
Spot on. Found it. Looks like maybe try a historical way or apply as a business with less than 3 trucks, or keep it registered out of state, or...?

Yes, I'm 2 pages late. It is natural to want more and proceed that path. Keep in mind these trucks were designed and built via lowest bid contract to meet specific performance requirements, which they did. They were not built with the intent to be personally appealing as race cars after their...
