    What is 133 divided by 20? If you also got 6.6, that is my MPG from Cleburne to Hearne.

    This might be the reason:



    The strong headwind kept the truck in 4th for about half the trip running 20-30 lbs of boost. And that was at a little over 65 mph.

    Oh well, I sell to the oil bidness, I guess I can give some back!

    I think I passed you on Hwy 6 somewhere around TWS area or just a little before Wayne...

    Wind was pretty brutal, even with a smaller truck and open trailer the headwinds and sidewinds made things not as much fun....

    The next motor will be 10:1 and it will go on the dyno yet again for a baseline tune... Looking at either Mahle or DSS pistons. There aren't very many options when you start getting specific...

    5.4" rod
    1.165" compression height
    .927 wrist pin
    blah
    blah
    blah

    Really only 2 options...

    So that was you. I forgot the car is red now, or do you have two?

    Didn't you also stop in Hearne also for gas at a little gas station? With the big trailer I'm careful that I don't get into a spot that I can't get out of.

    I have two of em:
    red car is the street / backup DE/TT car (1991)
    blue car is the one with the cage & all that (1994)

    smaller open trailers mean I can stop almost where I please
