I laughed so hard when I read that post by RP. I thought to myself only RP.
The reason it was so funny, is last week I was reading about you guys getting ready for this and I thought to myself... What is RP going to do? There is no way he's going to meet all these guys and Troyer without a perfectly clean and waxed truck, just no way he'd do that.
Now I have my answer.
And no RP, I don't think the wax will help you on the dyno since you shouldn't have to worry too much about wind resistance!
Just playing around.
Hope you guys have a blast! I'm soooo jealous and would love to go, if it wasn't such a long drive from MN. Maybe I will when I supercharge the truck in three years. I'm waiting till the bumper-to-bumper is up (and I have more disposeable income) and then I'll do that as I've always wanted a big vehicle that could really haul butt.
Once again, have fun and be safe in your driving!

As fate would have it I just now find that I can make the drive to Covington this weekend from Tampa Bay.
I'll call TP in the morning but was wondering if anyone knows if they have a full bag of trucks for dyno day?
My 2005 is in more dire need of skilled hands and intellect than the Sgt Major in "Good Morning Vietnam" was in more dire need of something...
Thanks,

After reading the posts this evening on the Dyno Days,and the satisfaction from all the members of this forum who participated. I can say that the trust level for Mr.Mike Troyer and the members of his Performence Team need not be second guessed.Congradulations on a job well done.It is not everyday that a business can back up everything it stands for.Mr Troyer I think that you have acomplished this goal many miss by inches and some by a mile.Seems that you are dead nuts on.Congrats!!!!!!!!
