NEVER TREAT MAGAZINE INFO AS FACT!
They are worse then Banks them selves when getting the story right.
I highly doubt the CP3 is in stock forum. There is no way 750hp worth of fuel is available in stock form. The volume just isn't there. Now Modded to spin faster, with bigger passages and all that involved to make a stage 4 of some sort equivalent. Then there is fuel is available for that HP level.
The CP3 is a rather simple and dumb pump. The only electronics on the pump is the flow control actuator (FCA). It's just a simple amperage base metering valve. The "when" and other half of "how much" fuel is injected is controlled at the injector. the VP44 does this internally.
They did not make 755 on diesel alone. That is an outright lie. They use 2 bottles per pass.
Banks Power - Banks Debuts Sidewinder® D-Max Type-D Drag Race Pickup at SEMA (4th picture down). Note the caption. "nitrous interer cooling system". ha ha ha ha. . No. more like the additional 2 turbos in a bottle worth of oxygen. They use alot of spray to get the job done. They (banks company personal) have admitted to this.
To run as fast as thaey are in a tube chassis as light as it is, 800-ish HP is about right.
No, it's not a truck. The real trucks are in the 9's right now that can tow something.
Now, however you slice it. Yes they went (that) fast.
NO IT IS NOT A RECORD!! (yet).
Banks DID beat up the Ford land speed racer team claiming "the fastest land speed truck". Technically the Ford (with a 6. 0 no less!) did achieve a faster over all speed then the LSR dodge dakota. However, different scacioning bodies, ford has a US one, banks has a world wide one or something to that effect. Banks got all *****y and girly and made a big stink. The Ford team took down the info off of their web page to comply cuz, as far as the rules go they were in the wrong. HOWEVER the ford ranger is faster then the dodge dakota if they were to be in a side by side race. First one to the top speed would be the ranger (if you take all the rules out an do a 4mile long drag race).
Now, You look at bankspower.com and see "record". And then ask your self "How to you achieve a world records at at
TEST AND TUNE?
If you want more info about these "records" CompD's site has a few threads with Banks employee's making Banks look even more childish and un-professional with all the grass roots folks calling out just about every bogus claim banks has to offer
2008 looks to be interesting. There will be more then 10 dragsters (all 3 makes of motors!). And over 10 REAL trucks competing at events this year. Well, make that one less if we never see the Type-D show up. There will be more then one dragster getting very close to the 6's this year.
