Dyno Guidelines-- May Madness 2004
All registered participants in the May Madness rally are welcome to participate in Dyno Days, by dyno testing their trucks or by just watching others.
Recognizing the power increases from various modifications, and from the different factory produced combinations, several categories have been chosen for trophies this year.
There is no need to fit your truck into any of these categories for dyno testing. These are simply the “classes” of trophies, and the distinctions being made to allow for more equalized competition for these trophies.
First we will have the street stock type classes, with single turbocharger and the correct model injection pump (such as VE, P7100, VP44, or HPCR). Larger exhaust housings or larger turbochargers are necessary to maintain safe exhaust gas temperatures, so these changes are allowed. Many other popular changes are allowed also: fueling boxes, torque plates, transfer pumps, fuel lines, injectors, and non-visible upgrades. These trucks must be street licensed and driven.
Second will be modified street, allowing twin turbochargers and injection pump conversions (all fuel through the injection pump). These trucks must be street licensed and driven.
Third will be competition trucks, allowing the above modifications plus fuel “additives” such as propane and nitrous oxide, and not requiring streetability. These trucks may also run in diesel fuel only, through the injection pump only, mode. To qualify as a “diesel fuel only” run against other trucks, “additive” bottles must be shut off at the bottles.
No trophies were made for street stock non-Dodge classes, due to lack of pre-registrations. Non-Dodge trucks can compete on an even footing for the Modified and Competition trophies.
These trophies will be given at May Madness 2004:
High HP First Generation Ram

High HP 12 Valve Ram

High HP 24 Valve Ram
