Creator, You were only in a rush[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Because you had to do some of your own laboring over this holiday weekend[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] And that cut into your tee time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
No, these guys were playing very slowly. They should have picked up the ball after about 12 strokes[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
I'm talking it took about ten minutes for them to go far enough down the fairway for us to tee off[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Ok guys and girls[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I am thinking about getting an aftermarket air filter for the PSD[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I've done some research and can't make up my mind. Seems everyone talks highly on their filters. Over-all, I like the K&Ns[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I even heard that putting on the new 6.0's filtration system is a good choice[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Any words of wisdom?? Pros and cons of any you might be running?

I can see why you were frustrated. Anything over 8 and I throw the dang ball as far as I can[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Someone did a test based on the ISO standards says the K&Ns let a lot dirt through.

I've seen a lot of discussion about the airbox issues on the 7.3. Check out thedieselstop.

WTF was the course marshall doing??up here, they're all over ya on some courses. "play to the group ahead of ya, not the one behind ya". coming from a new golfer, i'm glad to hear you understand the importance of slow play. we're only slow when we have to look for ***** from our bad shots. otherwise, we play a good pace. we can finish in 3 1/2 hours (walking), when we go early morning (full size course). a few weeks ago, i played with my dad. he rarely breaks 100, but comes close. we start on the blue tees. I'm asking why?? nothing more frustrating than watching hackers play blue tees. tees are based on your handicap. blues are for single digit handicappers PERIOD! not macho idiots.

we spent weekend quadding at friends 20 acres chunk-o-land, plus many trails in area. tons of fun. awesome track he's laid out around his place.

well, PLEASE cross your fingers....but we got an acceptable offer tonight. only subject is home inspection. sure hope this goes thru, cuz i'm itching to get into new pad and make an atv track. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I didn't even see one until the 16th[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] I know when I has just starting out he talked to us about the speed of play[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Playing in AZ and NM, I guess I'm spoiled. Not too many people out there during the summer and I can play by myself in about 2 1/2 hours for a full round with a cart. Sure beats staying in a hotel room[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Good luck tonight[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I see that the ATV track is top of the list of things to do. I see their in the correct order[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Diesels like a lot of air to make them run. I have the K&N also. I have heard they flow well but don't trap as much of the little stuff. Just hear say so far. Maybe someone has real data to check
