The SuperChips programmer adds 150+ hp and 235 ft. lbs. of torque to the F-250 6.0L diesel engine.....which brings the power to 475+hp and over 800 ft. lbs of torque!......It really is unbelievable how much power these diesel engine can produce!.....Since the programmer removes the speed limiter, I can run well (and I mean WELL) over 100mph before topping out.....Although, the tires aren't rated for that speed, and it would be foolish to push a truck this size to those speeds.....I can put it in 4x4, and smoke all 4 tires on take-off......It will "smoke" both rear tires, even when rolling 15mph.....The power is extreme.....My wife has been driving the Ford next to me in the vette and has been able to "punch it" and hang with me up to and over 100mph.....She then backed off due to the tires on the Ford.....It's a beast!, no doubt about it......
I'll apologize in advance for the length of the story that follows.......
About the name "BogSpores"......
Several years ago, I took my 11 year old son, Nick down to a pond (more like a swamp or bog) to hunt ducks......
It wasn't long before Nick started getting brave and walking right along the waters edge.....Considering I grew up with a "gun in hand" hunting this pond/bog, I knew how deep the mud could be right next to the water.....I told him to beware, because the crust could break through at any moment and you'd plunge up to your waist in deep, black, stinky mud.......
Just like all kids nowadays, he knew better than ol' Dad, and continued to trek closer and closer along the waters edge......Sure enough, without any warning, Ker' Splosh!.....He instantly sunk into the vile muck......He struggled for a minute, which only got him deeper.....Within 30 seconds, he was sunk up to his thigh's and starting to panic......I couldn't help but roll on the bank in laughter!......He didn't appreciate my enthusiasm, and began to get upset about the situation......He struggled for what seemed like an eternity, before finally freeing himself from the sludge.....To add insult to injury, his shoes (due to extreme suction of the mud) remained planted at the bottom of the bog, where they lay to this day......Poor kid had to walk out of the woods with no shoes, and covered in an awful smelling funk!......When we arrived back at my parents house, my Dad (his Grandpa) asked him what happened......Nick began telling him about the mud and getting stuck in the bog.....Now my Pop is a good prankster, and listened with interest as Nick gave details about his experience.....When Nick finished his story, my Dad looked at me with a grave look in his eyes and said "He didn't fall into the black, stinky mud down at the bog did he?.....I said, "yes, unfortunately, that's the mud....."
Nick saw the worry in our eyes and the tone of our voices and began to get scared......"What's wrong with the mud?" Nick asked......I told him that getting stuck in the mud was only half of it......The worse part was about to follow....."What part?" he asked......" The infection caused by the sludge he was covered in......"What infection?....what are you guys talking about?......We're talking about the dreaded "BOG SPORES" infection, which causes tenticles and green, lumpy warts to grow from ones skin......At this point, he began to get very pale, and was sure his future with girls was coming to a close......After a few more gruesome details about the bogspores infection, he quickly ran to the comfort of his grandma who told him he'd been the victim of a cruel joke!......
My dad and I still get a good laugh whenever this story comes up......Although Nick still fails to see the humor in it......
So that's it......and I've been "BogSpores" ever since!.......
