DISCLAIMERl Please don't try this at home! It was performed by a professional (?) driver on a not very busy county road...(camera fastened to steering wheel with zip-tie...)

If you do it again, could you splurge and get a second zip tie, so we can see the top part of the speedo!!!

A bit of the scenery going by would be good too, for all we know you had it up on jacks!! :D

By the way, was that with propane?

Did you track how many MPG's you got on that run - like .17 maybe?

pretty quick, my brothers 02 dmax 4x crew is all tricked out, he gets 12.8sec in the quarter, I watched him take $500 from a 05gt mustang, the guy could not believe his monster was that fast, and either could I. he has a chip,exhaust,intake,propane, and a bunch of other mods

Settings: 80hp Predator, 100% propane (max setting from MSD, feels like ~80hp additional), and JK's boost valve.

EGT max was 1600 and a peak of 29lbs of boost...did you notice no redline at all? I didn't until reviewing the tape. Always assumed it was slightly overreved before shifts.
