[BigBadDodge]

There are some pictures, and a video, of my 4 runs at the link below, Big thanks to DieselPower over at the Diesel Place for hosting them. I took first with a measlee 646 RWHP not bad with this small (35/HT3B) set of twins.

Thanks for the link and you know that Mustang reads low anyway, no one has good luck on them. I watched the video on all runs and it seems your best number was on the last one... ... ... heat soak, I lost 7 hp and gained 25 degrees at the hat on back to back runs at D/FW, I can only imagine the difference on a Dynojet... ... . best number will always be the first if everything is setup right.

Scott, weren't you like 800 HP on another dyno? Your shore flucuate a lot!!! :-laf

I'll never agree w/ you guys about the mustang/dynojet argument. I only did 20hp better on a mustang but i know it has much higher capibilities. On the dynojet it was in fifth gear and on the brakes so hard it was'nt funny. The next day when i drove the truck on the road the countershaft broke.

Gene, last Fall I did 717 on #2 only on the same type of dyno, however I was told to dyno in fifth gear, it was my first time on the rollers I knew no better. Now I understand the numbers are more realistic if done in fourth gear, one to one ratio. This 646 is more in line with what I did at MM as well. I can't complain though as I am using the HX35, 370's, stock fuel lines, 191 DV's, stock intercooler etc... . There is way more room for improvment when needed

Still looked good to me Scott, Almost as good as that drag race you ran in Tulelake, oh wait it was a sled pull. (you went by so fast I couldnt tell the diffrence).



I was going to make it but I left to Colorado a few days before.

If you put my injectors in, that 35 would go BOOM ..... hit's so hard the truck goes right to the ditch

That was a cool video i had to leave before your truck ran so i finally got to se it in action. Next time i want to dyno mine just to see what i have . Oh i was the guy that told you my dad was retired Coast Guard. My brother just bought a Corvette ZO6 405 hp its fast he brought it over the other day and i showed him that dyno :--) he was amazed that a diesel could put out that much power :-laf

I wonder what he would think when he got smoked by one of our diesels on the street or the strip? :-laf

First they do this: Then this: :--) Then when they can't outrun you, this: :{ And finally they flip you the bird, cause apparently, when an 8000 lb pickup is picking on your itty-bitty sportscar that is supposed to make up for the fact that your a 40-something "has been" , that's a bad thing.





btw, I just recently picked on an '03 Z06 w/ a license plate that read "405 HP". He couldn't outrun me and that made him very, very angry. Poor poor 'vette owners...
