I’ve been kicking the idea around for lasik for a number of years now. It remains too expensive for me.

There's a guy in a white van that hangs around behind the 7-Eleven that does lasik for $20 per eye....

Oh yes, we had a great time, it sure fired me up seeing them and enjoying time out on the town here, even drove to George Rays and Keith walked out to the starting line and took pictures of him sweeping the track off, he peeled up a patch of rubber for his collection

Spent the day tuning the old John deer 4440 we have. Last year, my brother sent the injection pump off to be rebuilt, professionally. Then complained all summer and winter that the thing felt down on power so it must be the engine needing rebuilt.
Nope, popped the injection cover off, when they rebuilt it, they didn’t turn in the fuel control screw far enough, barely 50 percent of stock setting. How it even ran is surprising. So I cranked it into the factory setting. Then decided the hell with it, let’s see what this does. Screwed it in two more turns. She’s a different animal now. She mean. Probably added 100 hp today, conservative guess, by the time you figure where it was at vs where it’s at now. Need to put my EGT gauge on and maybe turn it in some more. I know some guys turn it all the way in or even remove the plate but I don’t wanna go that radical...yet. With no intercooler, things will get hot quick

One of my instructors as an apprentice was a master mechanic for a SoCal highway contractor. Ernie loved Detroits and much of their equipment was Euclid green. One of the exceptions was an HD 41 Fiat-Allis, known to most as "Fat Alice" :lol:.
525 horse V-12 Cummins

They had it rented to a mine in the desert that produced the raw materials for Portland Cement production. Same operator everyday, just push rock and sand, nothing wild but a lot of it. The Cummins expired and Ernie goes out to retrieve it, takes it back to the shop and goes all the way through it then off to the engine dyno at a local tractor dealer. Get's it all dialed in and back to the desert it goes. Same operator after about 15 minutes goes back to Ernie who was monitoring things, "Ernie! You gotta turn this thing down! It's gonna hurt somebody!". :rofl: "Just the way I like it."says Ernie.

What do you think a intercooler cools ?
 
Only cools charged air. Intake air after turbo...does nothing for egt.

Bull. I sled pulled for 10 years and worked in a diesel performance shop tuning this things for a lot of those years. An intercooler does lower EGTs. I’ve seen them drop EGTs by as much as 200 degrees going from non intercooled to intercooled. Furthermore, that’s part of the reason the big guys on the pro circuit run ice boxes. Along with water methanol injection systems. Cooler, charged air not only makes more power but it lowers cylinder temps, assuming you leave the fuel pulse and injection timing alone

now, on this tractor, I would quite honestly expect to see a 100 degree drop in EGTs. At WOT.

Let me add one thing. The intercooler has to be appropriately sized for the turbo, intake and engine combos. A common thing done by Gen 1 cummins guys was to buy one of them small, cheap intercoolers off of eBay, those things are not only way too small, but they neck down from the inlet, then neck back up on the outlet side. Those things are about as ineffective as that “fly eye” looking air filter. And those will actually cause an EGT increase. IF they don’t blow apart with 25 pounds of boost.
 
New ford 6.7 has water to air intercooler. And a separate cooing system for intercooler. Engine coolant does not mingle with intercooler coolant
