That's a ton of additional HP Leo....He should never even have had a chance If it were me and this is just me I don't think I would post anything about that encounter ESPECIALLY with a KB sitting on top of my motor...

I'm running on the rich side, with a fairly conservative tune, and make nearly 400 rwhp. That's with about 3 lbs of extra boost. If I spent the money for a KB and wasn't making nearly 500 rwhp, conservatively, I would be trying to figure out what is wrong with my truck or tune. I just don't understand the point in buying a 3,000 dollar aftermarket blower, then not use enough of it's potential to even outperform a ported stock Eaton.

If your friend mentions to some of his Dodge buddies that he ran neck and neck with a KB Lightning, that crap will be all over the place. I'm not bashing you. I just want to understand what's going on.

guess I lost that bet

sounds like the "computer police" don't like those hi-speed runs.

Where's blowntruck when you need him? Cuz I know he would say......"Fock the 5-0"

I also would think that a KB would pull better than that, but he did say he asked and recieved, a conservative tune. So he probably just wants to play it safe!
I don't think anyone here, would help him replace his motor if it blew, right?

I was in a big azz black GMC 3500 dually, not the L. Your truck looks really mean man. I was there visiting my parents, I tried waving you down but was going the opposite way. I'll be back in FL in April to pick up the little toy from Matheeny, maybe we can get together for golf or something.

And THEY ruined it for YOU???????????????

Feb. 22 - Mardi Gras weekend quickly turned ugly in San Luis Obispo
Saturday night, when the celebration got out of control.

More than 5,000 college students flooded the streets near several
apartment complexes around Foothill Boulevard.

"They overran the Cedar Creek complex, with numerous reports of officers
being pelted with rocks and bottles," says San Luis Obispo Police Chief
Deborah Linden."Lots of property damage, a significant disturbance."

Over 200 law enforcement officers from San Luis Obispo and three
surrounding counties were needed to control the volatile situation.

"Just the sheer numbers of people when they are in that crowd and riot
mentality, it is extremely, extremely dangerous for everybody involved,"
says Linden.

Law enforcement used pepper spray, non-lethal pepper ***** and
handcuffs to control the crowd.

"What the officers try to do is prevent it from getting worse until we can
get help to them, and then they need to disperse the crowd, and anyone
who is hurt- get people help that they need, and stop getting hurt
themselves," says Linden.

On Sunday morning, six police officers reported minor injuries, most of
them from things being thrown at them.A total of four patrol cars were
vandalized with broken windows as well.

Since Friday night, 130 arrests have been made, mainly for being drunk in
public and unlawful assembly.

So you've got about the same power at the rear and are carrying ~400 lbs less and were neck and neck?

Rumors abound of cam bolt problems on the Viper motors. Could explain this one...
