oh man, that is crazy..... instead of that little fan with a 3' fan attached, they should have went a got a helicopter blade and put it about 5 feet in front of the truck and turned it on, thats all i can think of to get ALL that smoke out. .

 

[CNichols]

:--) At what HP do you have to start running 4 slicks??????? WOW

 

[bighammer]

Got to remember he just bought that truck. Don't give HIM all the credit for the HP it's crankin' out.

All 500 hp? He has made some MAJOR changes, and is going backwards in power. He has L-O-T-S of tuning to do.

Hey bighammer.



You are correct. I can't be given credit for all the HP.



When I bought the truck, it came with an ATS transmission, JD Built Injection Pump, a 4" lift, and 36" tires.



I can't really say what I've done to the truck, but suffice to say that I have spent alot of money on head work, turbo's, injectors, transmission, and transfer case work, the slicks and rims, along with a stereo system.



If I can get the truck ready for the race in Houston, Dec 7th, The truck will have had $10,000 invested in it, over what Eric McBride had done to it, and will hopefully shave 1. 5 seconds off his best 1/4 mile time.



It's not all my work, but now, very little is actually his work. I have done 90% of all wrenching on this truck.

Lama,

Where was this picture on the pirate board? (I'm the curious type)

Rhonda,

I think you'll like them. With enough smoke you can still remove tailgaotrs. Downside is the soot shower on startup after a hard run.



-----

Mark,

Ha, Ha, You Are, SOO Funny. Yes, My stack is rotated a good little bit. Does Everybody have to notice :-laf



-----

XcumminsX,

Yah,, I can make your '03 do that



-----

CNichols,

Not sure yet. But I'm going to find out. I do know that going from 36x14. 5 Mickey Thompsons, to the slicks (Both launching 2wd) I dropped a full second off my 1/4 mile time.



-----

TxDieselKid,

Thanks for the extra pictures. I sure like the one where the slick has grown alot on the rear. I wonder if that's my 161MPH pass?







Merrick



BTW, in the first picture, the owner of the dyno shop was not very happy with me. Some apologizing, and I was back on my way. Those pictures were from the Big Dawg Diesel Competition Oct 25th '03
