sounds good. Whats the limiting factor for you right now? Seems like i read the head gaskets keep blowing right at the 9 sec barrier.

I saw only one of his runs against a white G1. It appeared to be a very close race both in the low to mid 10's.

I think that all the fast G2's at L fest where in the low 11's. I didn't see any G2's run a 10 all weekend. A few of the faster G2 trucks from last year where absent.

Parish has a very nice truck

the best i could do was 10.29 at 133. this was at 18psi. for some reason i am running out of fuel, i need to figure that out before i push it again. from my 1/8th mph(108.6) i would say i was on my way to a 10.0x run but the lask of fuel and knock retard slowed me down a bunch up top. i should be able to turn it up to 25psi before i start hurting the motor so it has some room to grow still. i just want my 9sec run.....

it was a blast hanging out with the lightning guys.

that thing is still a monster. Performace cars are a dime a dozen... Serious performance trucks are few and far between.

I personally saw this Parish guy make some passes in the silverado at L-fest. It appears that he uses the No2 to get that thing rolling then the turbo's take over, it's mov'in. The truck is very clean, trick but stock looking appearance <> the term sleeper comes to mind .. I know it's a Chevy BUT it is fast. Now to the great part.. He was taken out by a street legal Gen I with Twin turbos Dave Pickrel has a ultra sanitary set-up and edged him out with a 10.24 to parish's 10.30.. It was one great race. I believe the chevy uses 4 wheel drive to get out of the hole and he doesn't do a burn out at all. Take nothing away from this Parish dude it is fast.
