Competition Boom!

[Sled Puller]

Exhibition, having some boost issues after the install of a new CENSORED. Gave up looking for the leak, took off the waste gate and headed for the pull.



Got there almost too late, pulled after 50 + street gassers and stock diesels, they had a pull off, then us. 7 trucks, I was last.



A nice running CTD went out the gate, the others did about 220-250.



I came to the line, and it was all right foot and R's, trying to build boost with the leak. Finally, she hit 60#, and I took off, suffocating the flag lady in a monstrous cloud of smoke.



She screamed down the track, and at about 260, the first boot in line blew, and I coasted 20 more feet.

It was a good run, and I solved some issues, even while presented with many more.



I also talked to Bruce Mallison, owner , Diesel Injection of Pittsburgh, for a bit. Great guy. He was responsible for my first 300 hp.

Another high point was the gasser guys offering tools and trailers to get me home.



An owner of a very HOT 460 Ford even said,"I like your truck. "



Unheard of! A gasser Ford saying he liked a Dodge Diesel? The end of the world may be near.

Sledpuller, Good to hear your keeping your right foot on the floor, which tires did you run and did you have any hopping. Are you heading to Hookstown on tuesday, If you are maybe I'll bring my trailer just in case. Dean

Good to hear your back up and running again. What was your vibration problem? I must have missed your post about it.
