Ought to post a message on the Dmax site. There are a few of

them that go to the Ennis track from time to time. Claims of

low 14 seconds with the D/A and the Edge Juice. Any of you

guys able to better that? All I can do with mine (NV4500) is

16. 2 @ 86.

Feel free to post it over there, I don't go on the Dmax sites. With my bumpers and a 2wd, I'll be happy with 16 or lower!

Dunno squat about what it will do, so I'd rather set my expections low and be surprised . Remember I have a 1 ton with around 600lbs of extra bumpers on it! Low 16's is that when leaving on red

Andrew, you have an automatic right? I don't see your SIG. I

lose a TON of time getting off the line because I can't build boost

and then loose time shifting and boost drops off during shifts

unlike an automatic which allows the boost to stay up the whole

run if I'm not mistaken. I could probably break into the 15s if I

abused my truck but it's my daily driver. No way can I compete

with an automatic trans equipped truck!



All I have is an older Edge Products 3-light fueling module with

standard programing. Which one do you have, the COMP?

Yes i do have an auto, but I think it was a fluke run(s) in the 16's. Long story.



I have a Comp, but no pump wire, so it's an EZ.



On the bright side of things, I was at Diesel Innovations today and found a G-Tech Dyno, and it said 477hp on my truck. I wish.

Don't worry about it, you'll fit right in with me and drice ! Heck, my front bumper alone weighs 400#. Not to mention all the other crap I have on the truck. Hey Daniel, how much you think the twins weigh? :-laf



I'll be in a blue dually with stacks and long CB antennas, says "Blue Thunder" on the tailgate. Can't miss me. I'll be there when the gates open, or soon after.

 

[drice]

lets race

chris I would add 100 150 lbs for the twins you might weigh in close to me in my little 3/4 ton truck. that weighs in at a whopping 7750. and no I not that big.



BFC I will be in a 3/4 ton white dodge eating chevy ****tin ford on the tailgate and stroke this on teh doors.





chris go look at the 12 valve forums and see whats about to happen to teh old goat. . I think you like like it

 

[Chris N5CWM]

The digital scale was turned on and working last time I ran in

June. After you get your timeslip, stay on the parallel return

lane closest to the track and there is a shack with a digital

readout.



Those of you that show up and race, let us know here what

the scale said! Mine was 6,640 Lbs. with 1/2 tank of fuel and

me in it. I don't have any extra bolt on stuff. No aftermarket

bumpers, toolboxes, etc.



Just curious.

Add a Ford dually with a V10 to the list. He really wants to get his butt kicked in style
