Ram Dyno run


Guess what guys and gals?  We broke 300 horsepower on a recent dyno run!  This is a far cry from the 170 horsepower that Rust Bucket started with, and there is no end in sight.


Soon we'll be aiming at 400 horsepower, and maybe even 500, depending on how our truck holds together.  While every project vehicle needs to progress, we're trying to keep Rust Bucket as down to earth as possible; using mostly inexpensive bolt-on parts that any average Joe could do in his driveway.  So far we've hit the magic 300 mark with just bolt-ons, and right now we're in the planning stages to add 100 horsepower more.  Oh and did we mention still no nitrous?
