Dave for sure on the most ponies as he's got the most air and fuel.

BUT...
Bill and I are working on nearly identical 2wd trucks that have a good weight advantage (but lack traction). Bill's is red with steel wheels and vinyl interior. Mine is white with aluminum wheels and cloth interior. Bill's also has a bed rug and a big ol' topper. Bill just got a 4" exhaust for his and mine's still stock. I plan on doing something WAY different with the exhaust on mine (just because I want it to be different). Both of our 2wd trucks have 230K + miles (mine just hit 235K and his is at something like 241K). My main priority for the moment is to get it looking good and set up aesthetically first. The thing runs like a top and already has a performance-oriented built transmission so I'm good there. Besides I KNOW I have forged rods......Bill on the other hand (it's an '01 and it's a toss-up on which type of connecting rods his engine has......I've looked at a few '01 trucks (my previous 03/01 build truck for instance) and they've all been PMRs...... I've checked mine visually (and the 9/99 build date of the engine also helps) and know that mine are forged.


Basically what this will turn into is me being perfectly happy with making sub-350HP in a truck that will still tow a gooseneck and serve as a rolling billboard for my tuning, performance, and repair business. No super race truck here. Seriously, Bill knows how excited I got over the 350 HP his red truck made while he was driving.....but he also knows that I drive like a grandpa and I'm perfectly happy with my mid-200 HP 1995 PSD.

Well just throwing this out there to get everyone's opinion since Bill doesn't want any tangents in his thread.....

What's a little competition going to hurt?

[cleatus12r]

Nothing at all.

Mine is going to kick all ***.

[Pedro voice] If you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true.[/Pedro voice]

[907DAVE]

Just give up now, I already won.........

This might get interesting, but as Bill points out, he will go until it pops........so for now my vote is for Bill.

Sorry Cody.

But I'm guessing Cody has more free time. Yes - just a guess.

I'm voting for Cody.
