6x6 Racing at Ashtabula, Ohio June 18-20, 2010

The 4.7l is only about 20 horse shy of a 360. Beyond a 318 which is cool as the 4.7 = 287 I believe? something like that. But the 360 does have a torque advantage. The 4.7 just walks away from the 5.2 though The overhead cams make the difference I think.

This ash trip is going to be soo much fun. Looking forward to see all you far away internet friends!!!D Buckhtnr17 and are planing on leaving here around 10ish.

You're absolutely right, Larry! I love the 4.7. It took me a few years to find a low mile Dakota 2wd reg cab 4.7 5 speed, but I was so happy once I did. There are folks out there that put the Mopar High Output cams in them, the HO intake manifold, big thorttle bodies, 3" exhaust, intake, and an SCT tuner and are able to run high 13's, low 14's and still get 20-something miles per gallon. That's my next project soon to come.

I've got a pretty good feeling that this is going to be the best AATV event that I've ever been to.......even bigger and better than last year! And last year was hard to top. Safe travels, and I'll see everyone soon! Now the only problem will be falling asleep tonight, the excitement factor is through the roof right now.

I'm really hoping we don't pull another last year at this point. Last weekend dad's truck needed a replacement fuel pump that turned into a gas tank replacement as well. Today he lost the starter right before work (works night shift). I get to go pick him up in about 1 hr. He's off tomorrow for a marathon build/test/tune session. I've been ordering last minute parts and bought a portable 3 gal marine fuel tank today just to make sure I'm running. Barring any more unforeseen issues (like my cracked/broken fiberglass seat that I just spent the night repairing), we should hopefully be there by late Fri. At least we know how to make throttle cables this year and we are driving another rental!

If you end up leaving that late you'll probably see a blue bike buzz by with a Mich plate. Hoping to be on the road by 2.
