I drove the Ram today

Loving it too, it is awesome.

The other day, I had some fun on the country roads. At the top of a hill, started in second, floored it, and I gained enough speed to go straight into 5th! I imagine the engine was running really fast, but none of my valves floated so that was good! Awesome power! Sure feels good.

Dammit, the stuff you don't notice until 4 months after you buy it.

I was with him, Put up 410hp/972ft-lbs in the '93. I was surprised to break 400hp with my conservative timing.

All you can hear in the video is turbo's, and since we both have 2, yes. Exhaust note is somewhat different in person, but they are both rotary pump mechanically injected 5.9 Cummins' (Jig's vp44 is essentially an updated/modernized electronically controlled version of my injection pump).
