Tell that to all the Indie's out there running full custom tractors.

One of my buddies has a full custom long nosed Pete. The TQ/HP he is putting to the wheels is crazy! I'm sure that's just his "Oversize Tune" though, and he probably dials it back for normal loads.

True Nick, there are people out their that tune the trucks, but most of the over size tractors come from the factory with mad stupid power.

sounds like fun, you guys ever see the pulls like the tractors but big trucks with like 4 turbos and superchargers. that looks fun

MouSe 11-08-2012 11:26 AM

Hell yeah man. Semi-truck pulls are awesome!

jwfirebird 11-08-2012 12:22 PM

we used to have a generator that was a detriot v12, it had two s/c's and two turbos, i always thought that would be cool to do something like that with, but i cant imagine the fuel that would go through after cranking up the power on it.

I say, where in the world did that come from?

MouSe 11-08-2012 08:04 PM

In the video. It sounds like a female on the radio and you say "Oh shut up"

Mike 11-08-2012 08:06 PM

Oh! Freaking every damn day we hear that stupid CB shop down in South Cackalacki. She comes in better than some guys that are 1/2 a mile down the road. Friggin skip.
