Awesome times guys, congrats. I am not picking on ya, but did something change. The first run there was enough black smoke to nearly block out the truck????? Again, not picking, just curious. Awesome times.

Congrats...to me the truck sounds better then in previous videos. Even if it blows a little smoke its still way better then most pro trucks.

We are looking at all the video from last weekend and we might have screwed up. Banks made several runs last weekend and one run was motor only no nitrrous and we might have gotten the wrong clip edited. We are reviewing all the runs and will let you know.

The truck is amazing to watch ..... On the one run I was at about half track with my back to the tree. (At 170+ mph I didn't want to miss the going away picture) I heard him launch and it sounded like a runaway freight train was coming down on me .......

Congrats guys!

Oh that tiny bit of smoke.......I like it, that truck hauls the mail......love that prostock burn out!

Who would have guessed back in 01' when I bought my truck we would be here now......400 hp was something back then.

Morning we have all the correct video of both runs and should have the video back up sometime today.

I agree though i remember when 400 hp was crazy and turning your diesel 3200 rpm was nuts. Cant wait to see what the next 5 years is going to evolve into.
