Already Done That , And Nope You Don't Get To See It , But Here's A Little Tease The Rotating Assimbly Is 59 Lbs Lighter

59 lbs is a substancial difference rotating weight!! Good job! Should rev real good.

Lets cool this off before it gets locked.



No personal attacks.

My 15. 3 is a whooptie doo. When I have more money, the truck will run faster. I have other priorities with my money. If you took my PM offensivly... . That is something to be left in PM's not dragged into a public forum. I don't know what you are trying to prove to me or anyone else by dragging our conversation into the public light. I was trying to be nice about things and Discuss the issues that have IMO been chasing away some of our more knowlegable members. Your last post of my truck is better than yours is a perfect example. OK your underhood time and what you post may not mean much to you, but when you dance back and forth on your own subject it does show your lack of forethought.



I will say it again. If you want to continue this Completely unimportant arguement and personal bashing, send me a PM. I will no longer post in a public forum of this nature. If you continue to do so I will ask Admin to close the thread. It is unnessissary and makes the TDR look like The Diesel Stop.

RD I have become accustomed to just ignoring your posts but I can't let this one slide. From the looks of his signature, he doesn't have much performance work done to his truck, so I think that is a pretty decent time. I can gurantee you he has less money invested, and still has his AC to enjoy. I too am tired of your rambling but just choose to ignore it most of the time.



When exactly do you expect to have your truck ready, cause your mouth is writing checks that your truck can't cash.

I have seen Joshs truck, and I was most impressed it made it to Muncie, from the great white north, let alone, run a 15. 3!!!



Now, you two pipe down, and quit hijacking a thread that Fletch and I hijacked from Bentz. Don't make me perspicacious you two.



Whats that mean?

I don't know, my Websters doesn't have it. I think he made it up.

Hey now! My 260,000 mile RDNECK truck is a good truck! Hopefully you won't even recognize it next time you see it!



I think it's hillarious that you even opened a websters to try and find out!

[ob1kobi]

No problem, lets also post what we have done and the amount of money we have spent too. Care to wager on who wins all 3 rounds? Oh, and this is heads up, not brackets like you normally run.

I like the Bentz approach... and I fully repsect the Comp/Sheids approach. Build it till it breaks or break it, then build it till you can't break it.



Josh

I totally agree with the double trick, wazoo lookin, latest in the magazine, chromed, polished, carbon fiber, titanium, Un-obtanium, high dollar, super light weight, aftermarket part approach if you have the money, but, with my operating budget, I use the B. E. N. T. Z. approach:



"B" = Broken, bruised, blued and bent parts, reused. Core piles are my friend.

"E" = Economy at all costs, beg, borrow, and almost steal, but be honest.

"N" = Never buy new. Used parts have "experience".

"T" = Twist it till it hurts, bends or breaks, and then re-engineer it again.

"Z" = Zero cost parts with some polishing, or simple modifications sure seem to work much better than the trick of the week part that you have to re drill, resurface, or re-engineer to get it to work, anyway.



I can think of a lot of parts in our car that people point out and ask why we still run this or that? Simple. They have not broken yet.



I agree with Comp on the weight issue, and am already working on a lighter short block, and getting rid of some of the ballast on the car. Nothing radical, just helium filled tires, titanium key fob, plastic rod bolts, and buffing half of the paint off. I figure 3 pounds ought to be good for . 001 seconds better ET...

 

[I-6DZL]

Scott i like your approach to racing. I'd say you hold the "KISS" (keep it simple stupid)method close to heart. You do great work, and enjoy very much reading your posts.



I think it's totally inappropriate how RD takes someone else's post and makes it his own. RD it's not about you, so you race yours on mudders, anybody care ? You talk about how your truck is faster than josh's even on 'mudders' do they still care ? Glad to hear you have a big wallet and can afford to run your truck on 'mudders' CONGRATS



Now please lets just sit back and enjoy the knowlege that Scott and Comp have to share. O and don't forget about sleddy, and the wisdom from Fletcher <-- That dood cracks me up.....

... just helium filled tires ...

That would address weight, but should only lessen traction, since the mass of the vehicle stays the same.



Of course, if you put *enough* helium in the tires, you could be the first digger to cross the traps hanging upside down, airborne. In which case, you might want to use a sport chute to lift you high enough into the air to re-orient the car and bring it back to earth gently.

Hmmm... Maybe a wing IS in order... .

I have a lot of used parts on my truck.

Of course, they came off an N-14... ... .

Not a problem, Heads up-run it all the way out-first one across wins,nice!

Sounds like a Southern Style Pro Mod Challange- Run What Ya Brung, And Hope Ya Brung Enough!! I like that.

Oh BTW which truck do YOU want to run- 'Work' truck or 'Bidness' Truck- your call?

And there's no need to list what one spends.....

 

[RacinDuallie]

No Josh-

That's called ' Runnin on the ragged edge'

I figured you musta forgot that line, must be reading too much Popular Hot Rodding .

This is a personal attack??? How so?

 

[Fletcher]

We're guilty of that aren't we…. Sorry Scott!

 

[RacinDuallie]

OK, personal attack time... Nice... I tried to PM you and just chat... but now you bring it out in the open..... By the sounds of things it's a good thing that I have read those mags. An Engine is an Engine. What underhood expierence do you have? I ask good questions that I have researched and can't find the answer. 450posts in 3 months..... Sorry but research first, ask questions later! If you want to continue the personal side of things... . PM me. :-{}


Now back to your regularly scheduled BOMB'ing! Oo.

Josh

I'm not the one who brought out in public your PM to me- YOU DID. You were the first one to even bring it up- I merely mentioned a magazine- you took 'that' as a personal attack? Then you go and off and slap me out on the public forum like this? My opinion- if you slap someone out in public- you better be able to take a slap back-IN PUBLIC!! My slap to you was your posted time with your truck-compared to my old time- that was an example and responce to your public slap to me. You ask me how much experience I have underhood- look at the time difference between our 2 trucks and tell me how much experience I have. That's all that was and that was after YOU publically attacked me! I'm not looking for a public slapping contest here- and for your information 15. 3's for the little work you've done is really pretty commendable. It was not meant as a bashing it was a responce to your public slap on me- jeez lighten up- don't jump into the ring so fast there!! And don't slap someone in public and not expect one back- and then threaten to tell the administrator to close the thread... ... ... . seriously-lighten up!

The work truck is not for racing anymore, it was running 12's long before you were ever part of the TDR, and it has been retired for a while now. The business truck is what will be waiting for you at the finish line. I'll even let you sit in it and enjoy the AC if you like. I don't care if we each list how much we have spent, but I can gurantee I have probably spent less then 1/2 of what you have. Figured it might be interesting to see who had gotten more bang for there buck.
