Funny, Not matter how many dyno days,events,pulls,etc I go to, I still look forward to it like a kid at christmas.



Maybe its cause I know no one will ask if I need a tune up cause it smokes so bad - or say that I need to look into new glow plugs...



Its just nice to hang with people that understand and have the same interests concerning this crazy diesel stuff!

I don't need to dyno because my clutch won't take it I haven't made any changes but have never been on a load dyno, but it doesn't matter because it will not change anything for the way the truck runs now. I like being around people that have the same interests and have fun just watching and partying a little too! I hope there is a very large croud there tomorrow.

Heres the video, 18 minutes, 90 meg Windows Media Player.





I'll have it temporarily available for a while. If someone has

faster bandwidth, please mirror it for everyone. As my dsl server only has a 512 uplink.



Oh, if you want a dvd, holler.

Here are a few pictures that I took. They are under "Dyno Day" http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/nspbnd/my_photos . I'm pretty sure I have the names and power listed on the right trucks, sorry I didn't get everyones, but I think John did. It was nice to see some members trucks, and what they could do. I can't wait till the next one, maybe I'll have some power added to my stock rig by then.



Have a good one,

Nick

Thanks for the video John. I enjoyed it. It was a good day and a great time. I just wish more had climbed onto the dyno and made a few pulls!



I had to talk the lone Chevy into making the run on the rollers!

[Tomeygun]

I'm thinking a WHOLE BUNCH of N2O and maybe about 5500 rpms would have gotten that turbo spooling a tiny bit faster, haha

 

[TravisG]

Numbers anyone?



I heard from a reliable source that the 'ol beat up farm truck put it on all the fancy trucks Saturday. What happened fellas? Is the grain hauler too much for ya. It even looked like he could use some more fuel. Just kiddin y'all. Looks like you guyz had a good time. Tell Shane that that smoke cloud came over Central Wisconsin about 12:30 p. m. today. :-laf

 

[turbo lcc]

Talk about "moving more air than a cesna!!" you should ride in that truck you can hear the turbo comin up then about 120 its lit

 

[TravisG]

No thanks. I have followed Shane. That is close enough for me. What did the D-Max make?
