I have Superchips, so set for Tow level, 91 oct, tire size, etc.

Did about 10 miles surface streets yesterday and driving to work this week. If checks out, then hit some snow wheeling this weekend.

Power was tighter or responsive. Exhaust note different. Miss is definitely gone. I'm way happy.

This morning I noticed another effect definitely resolved from the cracked heads. Pulling away in neighborhood I would get a light lurch or just was the miss exaggerated under load since it wasn't fully warmed up. This morning completely gone. The previous months, the lurch would go away after driving a few miles since things warmed up and pressurized.

Everything is moving in the right direction so far. I'll feel better after hitting 500 miles without issue.

Changing back to the 40s be like...

Must be nice to have a pit crew. Of course, the tires are probably as tall as they are, and likely outweigh them as well.

Locking hub conversion? Did you buy one? Or scavenge parts?

That is a Ford HP60 axle he installed a while back. And on a Ford axle they come with locking hubs. Even the ones with uni-bearings come with locking hubs.

I had some great photos taken of my truck last week. The photos are a lot better than the race went. The race was ugly, engine still not right. Photos courtesy of https://www.facebook.com/pg/AutomovilismoExtremoSV/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1103572029787562Th

The go pros aren't mine, lol. People asked to stick them on the window.

Nicraage,
What is wrong with your engine? I guess I can't ask how the AirGap is working if you're having problems with the engine not running correctly.
