    Are on board air systems out dated?

    Hey folks, I'm in the process of fixing up our shop truck and I got to thinking.... Are on board air systems still viable?

    Hydro boost system on lifted trucks and heavy tires?

    Any one familiar with the hydroboost system please chime in here. Is this system just not capable of pushing 37-12.5-16.5 tires? I swear this is the second Hydro boost system that just won't push the tires. What is the issue here?

    1,000 HP in a ford?

    That is the plan... 20 pounds of boost 27 pounds of fuel pressure. The limits on space will hurt but we will do our best. I'm kinda doubtful but in the end the Dyno will tell. I said I was done but I swear this is the last one.

    Universal parts

    My buddy made a funny observation the other day. When the part says "Universal" what it actually means is, "This part mostly fits Chevys but sometimes if your lucky or good it can half *** be made to fit something else." I'm still smiling over that one. :rofl:
