It&#39;s true..Did my burnout in 2nd gear and left it in 2nd. Was wondering why it didn&#39;t shift into 3rd...duh, still in 2nd&#33;&#33;&#33;

Next run was 13.5 and the truck gave up at 3/4 track. For some reason it went into "limp home" mode. Dash indicator read "reduced engine power" fuel shut off and coasted under idle back to the pits. Shut it off and it reset to normal. Didn&#39;t want to risk another run cause I had to drive 2 hrs today. Feels good, just picked up a "ticking" noise in the valvetrain. Will look into it this week.

Good to see the usual guys at the track and few new guys. The rest of you need to come out sometime. SAR is in my opinion, the best track due to no crowds and track condition.

Will post an update soon.

I think everyone was running a few tenths slow. I guess nobody was impressed with their times. I know I wasn&#39;t with mine. I need a retune, I guess with the intercooler I&#39;m running a bit lean.

I bought a water to air setup from another member on here. It is one of those XS Power units like ebay sells but it keeps the temps about 6 degrees above outside temp. Now I need to put an ice chest in the bed for the track and see some winter time temps&#33; I&#39;ll get some pics, but it isn&#39;t much to look at.

Here is a picture. I used an old fuel cell to hold some extra coolant. It uses a small Johnson pump (I guess from a boat sump) to circulate the coolant through a heat exchanger behind the grill.
