Hi Bulba,

I second Michel's comment... very unlikely on dry pavement, although a 6.9 has a good chance if it's running correctly. Wink

Would I be correct in assuming that your fuel injection system is now A1? Wink

ive done it on dry pavement before, it works but it sounds wierd as hell. Not really, it still has no idling, and it only runs on 6-7 cylinders.

Nice going bulba Grin 

For what it's worth, on Friday night when I left work I managed to plant a decent 11 on our workshop's floor in the 350.  Dry concrete, a little bit scuffed, not smooth shiny concrete.  Admittedly, it wont do it on bitumen roads unless wet.
