Competition 1000 HP/1750 FT/LBS. torque 12 valve f-350

Props to all you guys - especially Maddog, Jim and Joe. You guys rock! I hope to get to that level of understanding with my truck... Experience and effort is everthing!



Just cuz I'm curious, what kind of RPMs is the 700 plus crowd turning?



Stock shortblock Jim? That's just BAAAD!

 

[Dockboy]

As for the transmission, I believe Maddog uses a BTS built 4R100 which if anyone knows ford trannys BTS (Brians Truck Shop) makes the best, and all without Edge doing a thing.

Richard is now using ATS trannies

RPM's... . not that much, typically not more than 3500 on power then back off slowly.



Most chuckle about the stock short block as well as cam, the motor isn't that bad for the power level, time at a high level and miles.



When I pulled the head the other day for the tear down the cyl walls looked remarkably well but has some piston slack, not much scuffing and no cracks, damage to the pistons and the injector pattern looked for the timing I was running.

900 Hp ??

Jim do you really plan on hitting 900 horses with the new engine (on #2 alone)? or are you just going to be happy with where you're at ?



Either way man, hell of a job getting to where you're at now. Much praise.



Good luck

Na, I like driving across the country to a dyno and doing nothing to it better... ..... I'm cool with the power it has, can't keep it in the road anyway.



Thanks for the kind words as I'm quite humble about it.

[I-6DZL]

Jim i bet that's one hell of a ride. Your truck looks like a "sleeper". Take that bad boy to the strip and people would say that thing can barely get out of its own way... ... Then lay down a 12 to 13 in the 1/4.



You say you haven't been at this very long, but you sure seem to know how to make a diesel sing.



I'm sure you're coming to TIM, so i'd like to see that "sleeper" dyno.



Later

I felt sorry for you guys trying to keep all that soot going outside

Kinda like trying to stop a train by throwing a penny on the track :-laf

It was worth it Hoss! Just being there with you and Richard and all the others made it worth it

Maybe 136 psi from wrong turbo housings??? Wonder what the backpressure is





3. 55 gears



ATS transmission with Precision Industries torque converter. Didn't run the 10. 59 with that setup. Broke the ATS trans once, hasn't run it hard or dynoed since.



I don't know jack about Cummins but Edge controlling the 12v

Hum, I ran a 12. 65@114 a year and a half ago on stock tires weighing in at 6300 lbs and at about 650 HP... ... ... 11's would be too easy!

Jim

Ok Jim now ya done it :-laf you are going to make it up here to Piers Dyno Day this year right? Well we are going to have to head to the track and see what that thing will do in the 1/4

 

[MADDOG2]

A big thanks to those who offered the kind words. Unfortunately the editor did not alow me to proof read the article before it was published so a few things were not correct. EDGE is a big sponsor, but of coarse the 12v p pump is controlled by my foot :-laf and not by a EDGE box. The 2. 5 inch stacks are really 5 inch, and no way did the truck run the 1/2 mile in 10. 59



Now to address Nick who comes from the Thedieselstop just so he can rip on my truck (as much as he thinks he knows about it I should have had him do the article)

When did I ever have the wrong turbo housings? I run the B-1 on steroids, and the B52 and the only problem I have had with them is the 90 degree discharge elbow that clamps to the B-1 has blow off several times, but that problem has been solved and I did not change anything on the turbos to fix it. My egt's peak at 1625 in the 1/4 mile. who ever told you I was running the wrong turbo housings doesn't know jack Nick.

The ATS transmission with the ATS converter was in the truck when I ran the 10. 59 which was done after the photo shoot. Four days after the 10. 59 and 10. 60 runs I broke the stock drum doing some testing before the SEMA show. That is the only problem I have had "period" with the ATS transmission. It is my daily driver and since then has been involved in many street races. I did not like how they worded the article on the transmission. Nothing bad was said about the BTS transmission in fact I let them know it had held up well over the years with some breakage along the way of stock parts due to the serious horsepower of the Cummins. You will never hear me say the BTS transmission is junk cause they are far from it. I went with ATS for my own reasons, and I will leave it at that.

I think it's real pathetic Nick how all you can do is find fault all the time with what I have accomplished through my own hard work and the tremendous help of many others. All you looked for and posted about over on the Dieselstop were the mistakes in the article as well as the mods that you think you know more about than me, and then you join the TDR today so you can do it over here. Get a life Nick.

Jim do you really think 11's would be too easy ?? Being that you only have 2wd don't you think traction would become an issue ?? I think you would break the tires loose on shifts if you tried to run tooo hard.

But i'm by far an expert. You've pretty much proven that you can do what you want to do with a diesel.



Good luck bro

Curtis

 

[Johnboy3]

Get a life Nick.

Well said. Maybe Nick can share with us all what his great accomplishments are? Has he broke 400 hp yet?



I say congrats Maddog! Love it or hate it, Maddog's truck will turn alot of heads when the average reader picks up that mag. For those of us that compete on a regular basis with diesel pickups, this is only a good thing. The more interest in the diesel pickup world, the fuller the stands, the better the payouts. Thanks Richard.

 

[NGerard]

I don't know about the turbo housings, thats why it was a question. There are people here that should be able to discuss that. Thought maybe a discussion would come of it.





I don't believe you have/had an ATS converter in the truck.





Actually, I have been wanting to join here for sometime, just never have. You'll like this part, I came here today for the conversion section. I have a reg cab 96 that has been wrecked and a 12v setting on the floor. Done some more reading and researching and decided to scrap that plan and put it in the 79 Ford.



Like I said, I don't know jack about the Cummins, THAT is why I am here.



I know how media people are



I just happen to think you are very deserving of your name, RICHARD



But anyhow, to make this technical, did you have forged pistons put in your engine? I thought even in the Cummins you where supposed to keep EGTs down with forged pistons???

 

[glhs]

mattymac; What do you mean the ATS dyno numbers have'nt been sorted yet? I thought this was already resolved.

The D - max put out a corrected (19%) 790 hp. The first and only corrected run of the day. So uncorrected it would had been 664 hp. I remember the chart saying it had water meth/NOS/propane. I don't know if it also runs twins. Not that it's a slouch by any means. It's got my truck whooped!



I remember MADDOG running and I saw on the projector screen his numbers hit about 850 hp when the turbo elbow broke at (only) 98 lbs of boost. I know he was running NOS that day but I don't know if he got to use it.

The next day at Truck Fest MADDOG ran a 11. 03 @ 126 running 120 lbs of boost. So flywheel hp that would take about what... . 1150 hp? I never did hear what the d-max ran that day.

**** I thought 1625 was keeping the EGT's down There are a ton of guys who are running waaayyy slower than 10. 59 and with much, much less HP who bend the needle over in the quater.

Curtis

That run was a joke for times so I looked up the time slip for you.



R/T . 658

60 2. 139

330 5. 563

1/8th 8. 326@90. 24

1000 10. 665

1/4 12. 642@113. 85



Needless to say it back halfs fine, it was so hard to launch I had to do it in valet till the 1-2 shift then go to full throttle and leave at no more than 10 psi of boost.

Kurt

I believe the Duramax guy was running a single (stock?) turbo at the dyno. At the track I think he had transmission problems and didn't do a full run.

 

[NGerard]

From what I've gathered recently, keeping the EGTs down with forged pistons is running 1300 max.



I got a chance to ask Richard in chat on TDS lastnight and he is not running forged anyhow. So it clears that up.

 

[Jim Fulmer]

On my stock motor I've seen temps as high as 1900, 1700 on water in the past and all I've seen so far is a tiny bit of scuffing on the cyl walls, but the good shape might have to do with shooting water on most of the hard runs..... who knows. Richards short block and my new one run the same pistons and are identical except I don't run Fire Rings.
