481 HP Dyno Run

[farmall]

Brian Block of Kentucky laid down 481hp Saturday in Cynthiana, KY at the Black Mountain Diesel Dyno Day & Sled Pull. I am not sure the year, but it is a 1st gen.

These dyno numbers are getting pretty impressive, 481 out of a 1st gen is awesome. Do you know if it was a automatic or a stick?, and do you know what mods have been done to the truck?

To answer your questions. No, I don't. All I know is he is pretty well known locally from what I hear on tuning diesel's. His 1st gen is a sleeper. It is a 3/4 ton with a utility bed on it, painted state dept yellow.

I think I found him, if you go to www.diesel-central.com ,I read someone over there turning 481hp, I have cruised that site before, they don't seem to like TDR folks to much over their.

Anybody know what kind of dyno he posted his numbers on?

Alsome numbers.



Brian Block has been working on diesels ( street trucks,sled pulling trucks, and commercial rigs ) for some time. His truck is a 89 dodge non intercooled, std transmission work truck. He was running his own custom made injectors and a B1 turbo and made 356hp before laying down his latest numbers.



He contacted me about 8 months ago and said he was going to play around some and hoped he broke 400 hp.



Looks like he shattered that. Way to go Brian.

good #s for brain. . hey drives mopars your mail box is full. . i tried to pm you about your 370 injectors doid you use the them as is ? or did you have to sahp tto your ve pump styel injector tops?. . i ask as i have a set of 370s i'd liek to use but my '89 2mm injection line do not fit the 370 injectors etc. . i have heard else where that some 1st gens ie interccoled one have injector line nuts that are the same as 2nd gen ones any one know?. . thanks

Deo, that truck has a P-pump, so the 370's don't require modifications. On your truck, you can have the 370 nozzles installed on the 1st gen holders and the pop pressure set by a good injection shop. You'll also need the sleeves for the nozzles to make up the difference with the smaller tip diameter.

yeah i have the copper sleeves and a p pump to put on the truck . . i was just debating if i could make em fit . . i remember back at the last seafood fest we we messing with em i think you said your truck had the larger nuts on the injection lines etc... oh well im debating swapping teh p pump in soon or waiting. . i'll probably wait. .

thanks

There was a change in size. Got new injectors for a 5. 9 with VE and the newbies wouldn't fit Turns out that the replacement injectors fit the in line pump. Nut size was the difference. Later injectors have the larger sized threads.
