Competition Give Us Specs On The Scheid Truck It Lookaed Incredible!!!!!!!!

[FL70CAT]

I Can't believe the volume of air that Scheid truck was pushing out of that stack, it looked like a friggin' full blown tractor puller!!!



Are we going to see an article on this truck in the next TDR??



What is this thing... ... Triple staged turbos????? Or one boss hoss twin setup???



What boos #'s, What turbos?? 12 plunger pump????

 

[HoleshotHolset]

I have heard of: at least 185psi, 6000rpm... .



I'm gonna venture a guess that it also has water injection, at least two HUGE turbos, and possibly a V-12 injection pump. It also may have a custom head with overhead cam... . quite a few folks are going with these BOMBs in the pro-puller tractors.



Info on this thing is gonna be hard to come by, that's for sure.

Rumors,rumors,rumors... ...

Who says it even has a 6bt in it?

I was told at Muncie (by someone who would know) that Scheid rebuilt the bottom end, among other things, to handle the excessive RPMs. . IIRC, the 6B will grenade at 6200 RPM, and the P7100 will grenade at about 5400 RPM, so they *had* to have really modified the bottom end. They launched at 6300 RPM or so. When it broke [7/11/02 edit: "at the end", not "after the full pull", see below], the on-board computer recorded around 8100 RPM and over 200 PSI boost (gauge only went to 200).

Rough calculations show they launched at at least 650 CFM, and at the end may have been pushing around 10000 CFM through the engine (assuming that 200 PSI boost was getting into the cylinders). Whatever the numbers really were, it was pushing a *lot* of air through the engine!

7/11/02 edit:
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. My age is getting to me. I know there were two full pulls at Muncie (I was doing the final distance computations in the booth), and I *thought* Scheid's truck was one of them. Gene had a burly friend smack me around a bit 'til I recognizeded my error!

Gene, I hope you will accept my most abject apologies. You *did* have one of the two full pulls at Muncie (Gaston, really). *And* you beat Loretta twice that day! Even curmudgeons like you get to win legitimately once in a while.

 

[HoleshotHolset]

Yeah, that thing sounded as if it might suck up small woodland creatures into the turbos.



The sheer velocity the soot exited that stack was unbelievable..... as was the soot/no-soot thing.



6000rpm is amazing, 8000rpm is insane! I NEED IT!

AHEM!!

If you are still talking Muncie, the Scheid truck had no Full Pull.



Dave Gresh, (Pulling for Jesus), and I, had the only Full Pulls.



You may apologize now, fester, I accept!!!



BTW, fellas, I only had 60# of boost and 3500 rpm, and a 4" exhaust in the stock location. Sleeper.

fest3er-You seem to know an awful lot about Kent's truck. Huh. Back to the rumors thing?



6b will grenade at 6200 r's? P-pump will scatter at 5400? That's interesting. Where did you get those "facts"? Man,I hope you haven't been talking to Joe D or his sidekick.

Well for one, they guy was shooting his mouth off after the run about checking the on-board computer, and said it had 185psi of boost. So much for those rumors.



Since you know so much about it, after seeing it blow a turbo on the engine dyno, why don't you tell us something about it?

I want to see that scheid truck back together and pullin' again this summer!!







That was the baddest looking dodge/Cummins puller I have ever seen, that truck will be unreal when the bugs get worked out. Hopefully nobody goes bankrupt before it can be achieved!!!!





The truck seemed to have dave mitchells idea of "required power"(LOL!) and then some.

 

[msmtd]

Andrew-you seem to be the one shooting yer mouth off. I wasn't even talking to you.



I never said anything about this truck blowing a charger on a dyno Get some glasses and read my boy. I pull against this truck every week. They have spent an enormous amount of time and money to make this truck what it is today.

Well, it will take some time to recall *where* I read those factoids in the print media so I can properly quote them, but if it is necessary, I shall be happy to so do.

But, all the same, given what I know about reciprocating masses and all that, I surely would not want to rev *my* 6B over 4K RPM for very long at all, never mind even *approaching* 5400 RPM.

Chad,

I know there is stuff beyond the TDR that would blow us all away. I have no doubts, never did. Even before Munice. Go back and read that East/West thread.



I was simply stating what happen when I was at Munice after the truck came off the track. You say you were there, you should remember.



Was this not the truck you were refering to in the East/West thread before Munice? The one that was on an engine dyno that cranked out 950+ when the headgasket let go? It was THIS post. Had to find it to remember it. If this is not the same truck, then cool beans, I just ASSumed it was, silly me.



Now... .

some gate-mouthed keyboard pecker

Don't resort to Don_M type attacks. Not a smart move. Seems like you should meet me, and know me before you make ASSumetions like that. Coming from stand up guys like Rob Thomas it's ok to not get a perfect 10 on the report card, but comming from someone I never met,

Andrew-You asked for it. I think I hit the nail on the head.

"""*********""



Now, MSTMDS, that really doesn't apply to Andrew, he dresses funny, but he is a pretty straight shooter.

If he could, I am sure he would live next door to Scheids or Mitchells.

Besides, he helped put weights on my truck before the Muncie pull.

mstxyztd,

Where did I ask for your thoughts of me? That's what I thought. Now go badmouth somebody else that you have at least met. You never even answered my question as to rather this was the engine that blew the headgasket on the engine dyno you saw. Why don't YOU get your glasses and read pops.



Gene,

Thanks man, it's nice to hear any feedback from someone who KNOWS ENOUGH ABOUT ME TO COMMIT! Your a stand up guy too, regaurdless of what others say!



Andrew

 

[Cooker]

I think Gene is a stand up guy too



I will keep my negative comments to myself

 

[msmtd]

Andrew-you're right... . I guess you do know alot about this truck. So why don't YOU fill us in??



In all fairness Andy,the ****** comment wasn't directed at just you(about half the others on the tdr!). So don't feel so bad. You sure are mouthy,too bad I didn't run in to you in Muncie.



It doesn't matter what engine I was talking about. You people practically laughed me off of here and called me a liar. It didn't belong to DD or Joe Donnelly... . so it didn't matter,right??
