Surely you can borrow/buy/steal a digital camera/cell phone camera and post some pic detailing the work that's been done to this monster....

Its kind of cool to launch a 7,000+lb truck, at close to 30psi, and watch peoples jaws drop, including the folks in the quick AWD vehicles.... Remember that I dont just get take off, with no boost, everythime I launch. Im not taking anything from the SRT-8 Grand Cherokees, by any means, but at 5,280+ft of elevation, they don't run low 13's (stock) and from what I have witnessedm it takes quite a bit to get them into the 12's up here, with a good driver.... Sorry for the rant.
I know all about diesels and what they're capable of, so you're preachin' to the choir brother. I have no doubt you beat him on the interstate and I'm sure you could take one at the track.

Basically my point was that towards the end of the quarter your Cummins is running out of steam, quick. But that SRT-8 will keep pulling long after that finish line.

Sorry to hear about your mom bud. Well let me know when you do. In fact we have a dyno event in Sept on the 18th, if you wanna come by (if you are out here then). I will get a pic of my first dyno print out.
