Don asks, "Why would HVAC go to another dyno and not the one at DD for free"???



Answer... I did not GO to ANY dyno. I was not part of any SHOW. I did not PLAN to dyno at all.

I was primarily in Las Vegas to O-ring MADDOG's

head and deck. That's right, he brought his 12v engine all the way to Las Vegas so we could work on it at Silverstate Motorsports. And that is what we did, until he got a call on his cell phone

and had to leave imediately to return home. So, after we sent Richard on his way I had time to spare, and we rolled the truck up on the dynojet. This would be the same one that was used by several others over the weekend, starting with Bully Dog, Jim Fuller (?), etc. This would be the same dyno that was used last year during May Madness, and the cross brand dyno day that preceeded May Madness last year. This would also be the same dyno that Joe Donnelly promotes as the the closest thing to horsepower reality as he has spent many hours on this dyno testing plates etc.

Whose Idea? Seems I was left outta the loop although I had scheduled my time elsewhere.



QUOTE: "Not some guys across town on another dyno. "



Sorry things didn't work out like you would have preferred Don. I haven't dynoed for over a year now, that's how important it is to me. I make my progress on the drag strip now. That's how I judge my truck at this point in its evolution. I DID plan to be at the track and we were. We ran 12. 80 @ 108 mph with #2 only. This would contrast with a truck we raced that was leaving in 4x4 with a boat load of Nos running 12. 55 at 111 mph.



BTW, plenty of people saw what we got. Both at the dyno and at the strip. I understand there will be sceptics. The first one (three years ago) was Joe Donnelly:)
 
Drugs or no drugs...

Hey I have an idea... ..... can we get a class no drugs, no shower heads, no modified turbos, no freeflowing exhaust, no high flow filters, no transmission upgrades, no fuel boxes... ... ..... ohh wait that's a stock truck, nevermind:rolleyes: :rolleyes:



Run what you brung, if it's street legal, insured and tagged, may whom with the deepest pockets wins! Life ain't suppose to be fair and this is suppose to be fun. Lighten'up boys! If I make it to Muncie, I'll be glad to loose my contribution to the pot!:D :D



Anything for last place... ... ... ... ..... ?;)

AMEN brother HVAC!



BTW, any chance of us getting back to putting into the pot? How about HVAC? $100 to the pot from you?
 
No Drugs!

Sorry Eric, I'm reformed:)



No pot for me:D

Tex Diesel, that's called a Donnellyism. He heard it so it must be true right?

No one would _ever_ tell a lie on THIS forum, would they? :rolleyes:

HVAC, at least you are back, clean, and drug free. :D



Now ya gotta catch Sickly ;) Only 33 hp to go! But you gotta run it all through the pump, or I'll put a funnel on my intake and pour some stuff into it during the run :p



Too bad they don't have a real dyno back east. I don't want to put 2 tons of stuff in the bed of Sickly, and melt my tires, trying to get traction on those double roller junkers.



Maybe we can get another war started, but one with humor among friends for a change :eek:

Nowel,

I know that not EVERYTHING Joe says is true, but you would have to think that being a member of his club, he might have an insight as to how you did it. ;) :D



Gene,

Now THAT is pretty phunny!

Joe, that sounds like you are insinuating I am less then truthfull. Please site your sources or clearify your point. Otherwise retract your misleading statements.



It's a shame that with all your presumed capacity that you have to rely on innuendo and hearsay to mislead those that would read of my testing results. How can you comment on my testing when you were not even there???



Funny, I didn't see you at the strip on Sunday. With your conscience I doubt it was religious persuits that kept you away.



You need to back up your performance claims. That would be in contrast to running down mine for a change!
 
Congratulations HVAC!!!

Great numbers HVAC! Very impressive dyno number on straight diesel.



Too bad Joe won't ever get off the porch and show us what his truck can do. The dyno numbers are completely useless if it won't stay together when put to use. HVAC more then proved his horses are real and able to be used in the real world without failure.



Joe has yet another piece of paper with a nice graph to show off that most of us wouldn't wipe our ... ... . dipsticks with. Joe, put that sucker on the track or in front of a sled. Or is there something your afraid of not staying together if you ever used the power you show on a dyno?

Now Johnboy you better be carefull here as not to start a another war in the forums about other trucks,,We've already learned thru the others that "Dynoing" is a sport,not a tuning tool and unless its done in the presence of the leftcoasters that numbers mean absoulutely nothing(this was and still is claimed thru numerous posts both now and in previously),,See drag racing and sled pulling ARE sports and maybe some would be afraid to be shown up because their "dyno queens" would not make the grade in a real world HP test. .

Joe,you need not fear the double roller,especially if everyone has the same field in which to play on,just as you had out west for your meet,,,What gives with a comment like this???,,One last thing,there are alot of REAL dyno's back east,but,no one ever sees you come try or use them,could this be something you want to hide or is it just fear??,Just a simple honest question..... Andy

P. S. -HVAC-Nice numbers for a guy who drives a "Way too many valves truck"
 
Yes HVAC, it is those extree valves that are holding you back from 33 more useless hp!!!:D





John and Hammer,



You two ask if Joe is skeered of his truck coming apart on the track?



Latest issue of TDR, Peter and him are in cahoots peddling a clutch scatter sheild.



Makes you wonder, eh????;) :D :eek:



Do you guys run the dyno with a stick on the throttle?



With your feet tucked back by the seat?Oo.
