Attention: TDR Forum Junkies To the point: Click this link and check out the Front Page News story(ies) where we are tracking the introduction of the 2025 Ram HD trucks.
Banks has been invited and STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to bring the Dakota. So far Rich Sohoyan of Banks has not committed and says the Dakota is apart. Lets encourage them in a positive, friendly way to attend and show us the many fine things they are doing. I don't want any boisterous, impolite, politically incorrect calls saying we will "whoop" them on the dyno.
Mmmmmm? Someone challenged the old HeberRam eh? This is a tough one, I love those habanero peppers, I might just take a dive for this one. I think to make it fair, you (HVAC) disconnect one of those turbos, and #1 & #2 fuel line.
Nate. . are you picking on me again? I'm game, I don't think I can get to your numbers with my underpowered truck, however, I'm going to try!! Let's see who drives down and who drives home. They should have a trophy, for those that don't trailer, either comming or going.
It's heating up! HeberRam bet me a beer he could beat poor old Sickly. That would have to be on #2 since Sickly ain't allowed no drugs. Since there ain't no fun in just screwing in bigger nitrous or propane jets, I assume HVAC and Heber are going to slug it out on #2 also.
Drawson is betting on Maddog. Obviously the pundits and money are all against poor old high-mileage Sickly. I guess someone, or maybe all three of them, plus others, plan to "whoop" Sickly with hp [maybe even 650 ]
Actually we shouldn't say "whoop" here in the West since that really means a hilljack midwestern yell More proper mountaineer terminology is whup, a mispronunciation of whip or beat. I did live in W. Va. at one time and learned the language
They are more like check valves at this point. Not what you would use to tow your leviathon RV I just have to drain the crank case after every day at the track.

I'm not picking on ya Steve. I just wish we could have a catagory for most hp on #2 and another for most hp for all additives. I could hook up my nirous bottle but I want to see how far I can push it on #2 before I do. I would stand up and cheer the first person to break 700hp on a vp44 equipped truck with only #2. I think that would be a he!! of an achievement.
I thought it was quite an achievement when we broke the 600 mark with a VP44. Heck, it was just a year prior that Joe Donnelly eclipsed the 600 mark with that gutter flooder "P" pumped managerie he calls sickly.
I have never seen a 12v truck break 700 on the dyno on fuel. Anybody see 700 plus on fuel with any truck?
The technology is catching up to let the under fueled vp trucks compete with the heavily fueled p-pumped trucks. I keep telling people electrons are quicker . I dont doubt there will be a 700hp p-pumped truck this year but will there be a vp equipped truck?
I'd bet Jetpilot will break 700hp on #2 with his newly stupified truck when he gets twins.
Idaho, there are categories for trophies and attendant bragging rights, see my post on p. 2 of this thread. Poor old Sickly is so close to stock and clean-burning that he would fit into the street stock category. Still one humble turbo and no additives Too bad I won't let him try for a trophy :{
Warn me so I can hide Sickly when someone is about to make a 700 hp run :--) Heck, we can't get anyone up to 650 unless Nowel comes through. And, he needs twins to make power (and sometimes drugs too Come to think of it, Sickly is really out of it using only one turbo, giving up that 50-100 hp gain from twins
Maybe Maddog, My6, or Mark K. will come through for us, or someone we have not heard from will surprise us all. ATS/Denver and Cumminstrokin can't be counted out just because they haven't been talking!
did I pass the consession stand ... . for the rubber boots
most folks think that the flames on my rig are from a paint job, but in truth they are from playing with Joe last year [note to self... do not follow Joe and play]
