Nope. Just finished watching it. . The chevy ran out of nitrous on the last run, so they lost their 3rd and final race as well as their truck. The BD Dodge only blew the radiator... was smoking pretty bad at the end, but they didn't say anything about the motor being blown.

 

[DHawk]

Oh Yeah They Blew The Motor. Blew The Head Gasket Due To Cylinder Pressure In The Cooling System, That's Why The Radiator Split. I Think They Cracked A Piston Or Two And Tore Some Main Bearings Out Of It Because Of Anti-freeze In The Crank Case.

They Have Fixed It Though And Are Running Mid-11's With It Now. The Driver Also Tried To Pull It Out Of 4wd On The Last Run And Broke The T-case.

I guessed headgasket in my head after the show ended...



Did they run both propane and N2O, or just nitrous?

If you watch the slow mo of the last run, you can see sparks from under the truck about the 1000` mark. Something let go...

[EGaskamp]

Those gasser boys were talkin' all nervous at the beginning. Wahhhhhhh he's got three power adders, Wahhhhhhhh it's a 10 second truck easy!! Then they went on to sandbag BD in the first run bad. I think gasser boys are gettin' nervous!

 

[rowilson]

As a good will jesture and to show class I think they should have given him or at least sold the loser his truck back. I wouldn't have wanted that ugly thing

I'm with you on that. Too much hype.

Twins

Yeah, I laughed when the guy was like uhh, he's got a turbo... No S&^%!!! He's got two!!!... (LOL) Speaking of witch, what twin set up is that anyway, is it the ATS compound system? It was nice never the less.

It had a BD decal (not bully dog) on the back lower quarter, but I doubt the current BD twin set up would be enough for what he is doing. It could be the BD setup that is supposed to be coming out soon that will be good for 700+ hp, he may be part of the Beta testing on it.

 

[CHolman]

Yeah, I saw that, but that looked like a pretty good size turbo on top there, so I was thinking the ATS because of the 5000, I didn't know BD had a new twin kit coming out... Yeah, the BD twins they have now are nice, but like you said, I don't think the current kit could have done that and I know that the turbo's are that big...

 

[BRoth]

Hey fellows that is BD's current Twin turbo system on there. There was an error made in the posting of what turbos he had on.



The system he has one there will handle that much power as was proven. They have dyno runs over 800 hp on the engine.



When we supply a HP number for the turbo kit applications it is with the consideration the hp will be achieved with diesel only, as well the exhaust temperatures will be around 1200 and no head modifications will be required.



Often the restriction when you get up to the higher numbers is the Intercooler. This can be over come with either putting on a bigger Intercooler as we have designed but do not have on there truck yet or with Nitrous.



Many think that our turbos are to small and think the bigger ones are better but that is not the case. The larger turbos are slower to spool up and do not deliver at the lower engine rpm. Our kit works great at the lower engine rpm and as mentioned when you are in the higher hp above 600 the air can't make it by the intercooler and Nitrous is needed to assist the combustion.
