Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Hey Joe ... the #100 plate works

[Forrest]

Yessireesir ... it does. I think acceleration is up too. I wonder if that's because the low end fuel is cut down, to a more optimum fuel -vs- air ratio. Smoke @ the low / mid is down too.



Wassssup here is I had a #0 plate & wanted a less obscene amount of fuel @ the low rpm range. With the #0, as soon as the rack moves, it goes a looooong way to hit the plate & resultant is a lot of smoke. Especially with the slower spooling HX55.



I got ahold of Joseph Donnelly & strategized about a custom plate. Something like a cross between the #10 & the #0. The #10 would be the low to mid range & the #0 from there to the top. Joe built it called it the #100. Oo.

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

See, the ol' man is good for somethin'

still knows how to make plates

glad ya like it

 

[ronco]

Forrest, give up some dyno numbers on your set up!



Ronco

 

[Forrest]

Haven't done the dyno yet Ronco.

 

[JDailey]

Ahhh yes... . another great invention from Dr. Diesel... ...

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

Eat your hearts out, midwestern smokers

 

[Howard Durand]

Joe,



How would your #100 plate compare with the TST #5 I am using?

 

[JDailey]

hmmmmm...............

Hey Donnelly, are you gonna bring the world's most powerful truck to Muncie or are you just gonna hide in the shadows again???

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

Sure, I will.

 

[Woodenhead]

Sounds like fun.

So where can a guy score one of these #100 plates.



Mike

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

I made the 100 plate.

Why don't you just buy the world's most powerful truck and quit whining? Fresh engine, marine pistons, would give you some real bragging rights. Some of your buds have paid more just to upgrade their trucks, and then they fell short of 600 hp. Sickly needs a new home, someone who will appreciate him Oo.

 

[TravisG]

So, are you saying that you would part w/ 'ol Sickly. You probably wouldn't sell it to a MIDWESTERN SMOKER would ya?

 

[HoleshotHolset]

I'll trade ya my '94 for Sickly - straight up, even Steven.



Matt

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

Travis, could a midwestern smoker give poor old Sickly a good home? Occasionally he still has the urge to climb up on the dyno roller But, he doesn't like to be beaten by his owner, like he saw happen to one sad Ram that could only make 404 hp last year at MM03

 

[TravisG]

Aww Joe. I am nowhere near 404 . I would be interested, but my wallet would probably slow me way down. Baby #2 on the way in OctoberOo. . Right now I guess I will have to keep on trying to catch you with my 'ol 97. Later Travis

#2 Diesel?

 

[TravisG]

No Sleddy. A real baby brought by the stork. But coincidentally all my new found power will all be powered by #2 diesel only. I am getting to old for drugs. Hows it goin? How is the new truck project? Will it be making an appearance at Muncie.

 

[Sled Puller]

The new project hit a snag last week, it will be close, but should make Muncie-on the pulling track, Pro-Street.



And maybe the dyno Sunday... .....

 

[clawson]

Whatcha askin for the truck Joe???
