I'll be getting mine installed at a shop in Vegas that has a dyno. I'm planning on doing a before and after dyno comparison. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 375 at the rear wheels, being that I have a 4X4 supercrew with heavy rims, and a few extra bolt ons that added some weight. I guess we'll see... but not soon enough!
I might just make the trip, I am thinking of taking on the Rubicon with my fullsize and a couple other buddies, maybe I'll plan it around this time so I can head up your way. I'll be sure to send you an email if so. Lastly, what brings you up to Alaska, my knowledge of the place is limited, could be iced over for all I know

I am hoping there will be a GT500 there I can get a test drive in...or at least get to meet Carrol Shelby if he is there.
Sounds good, I'm game for that. I've been to their place at the speedway three times now, and have done the tour once. I'd love to go on a behind the scenes tour and check out that new GT500! Last time I went was when I took my daughter to watch the NASCAR testing. We swung by Shelby on the way out, and I asked to go into the back and check out the expedition again. What a sweet truck! I'd love to see what else they have stored behind closed doors. The place that I am having do the whipple install is just down the road from them too.

Sounds good, I'm home and off work for the whole month of March, but we will be heading to San Diego around the 15th-19th for a truck show and to take the girls to the wildlife parks.

The question actually should be, what brought us down from Alaska to Vegas. My wife, two daughters and I were all born in Alaska. That's home, not Vegas. My wife transferred down to UNLV on an exchange program to finish college, which is why we've been down in America. We will be moving back home when she graduates in May and start building our home. We've had a good deal of snow and ice, and cold snaps this year. Global warming hasn't quite set in yet, although the environmentalists will tell you different. Fairbanks just got done with a week of 50+ below, and where I am it warmed up to a balmy 6 below today with 10-15mph winds. A big improvement over the last couple of days. Gotta love it!

Look forward to meeting you guys!
