I am sorry my truck was not there so he could beat me also.

Now that is the funniest thing I have read yet!

If a Puller has nine lives, I believe I used them ALL up at Muncie, back to the loser bracket for me for the rest of the summer, I suspect!



Thanks Don, that means a lot.

MISS CLEO STATEMeNTS PRIOR TO MUNCIE:



The West will give the Mid-West a lesson in HP and maturity that will start the crying, whining, and tearing of clothes. Gene, bring yourself a few of those Amsoil t-shirts to change into after the smoke clears. Maybe few pairs of underpants too







Ok maybe a few more Hp for the twins. You must be about 405 or so. Remember the fueling curve is history after 2500rpm and twins and cam are not too good before that. I realize that rpm will help get the sled down the track. Heck you gotta do something when the HP is low. Jim has 560 PLUS and less than 3200 usable rpm.



""He will show you how to use HP and not rpms to pull the sled ""







Like a tried to tell Andrew this weekend... smoke is not always power. Knowing the cylinder size and the injectors time to get the fuel in will tell you mountains on which way to go with injector size.



""Just another clue that the HP is kinda low in the Mid-West ""





Oh Gene, the DD cam is making the boost come on faster and lowering EGT. No flycuts for massive lift needed. The waiting for the turbos to get spooled up is much less. Unlike your rig that is boggy until about 2500 rpm Jim's is cranking out max HP already.

This goes back to my points about fuel time curve being too short at anything over 3000rpm to do jack crap.







A few points:



1) Smoke is not always power.

.

3) 40HP spread in injectors at this performance level is huge. These guys have begun to reach the point in which making more power on diesel only takes a ton of technology, research and patience.

He has also added more DD technology as stated above. Ill let you figure the rest out.

5) Injectors that spit, **** and drip fuel are hard to make accurate power with and raise EGT's.



Just a little fat to chew on.



Miss Cleo~

Ok Gene, I deserve it!! I was dead wrongo about the sled pulling stuff. I had NO idea how important the rpm was. No idea at all. It also appears you have a perfect clutch for what you are doing. I lived and learned on this one.

Even though the automatic seems to be a less than perfect choice for sled pulling Jim still did pretty good.

Fuller and I set out with the same goals- beat the other guy, make the top ten, and don't break!!



I was as shocked as anyone as to where I finished.



Bottom line- the big hammers broke or overpowered the track, when the smoke cleared, I ended up 1, in the 8000 and 2 in the 7200, and Jim was RIGHT behind me.

If he would not have run out of fuel,(no smoke!) he would have been right there.



Jim is not done pulling, no doubt in my mind.

guys don't let gene off easy, i got schooled this weekend!!! he did great!!! it was so nice to meet everyone, even gene.

i was very happy to finish top 10 in both classes and not break anything while i was there.

sorry about covering you and your terrific wife with soot, but not really!! when i looked on your dash and saw all the soot on it i had to laugh.



i will be back and i will be better prepared i have no doubt. if the big 3 or 4 trucks don't break and can get hooked to the track, i will have no chance. but if i can finish in the top 5 against them i will be very happy. i was very happy with the way the truck did against the p-pump trucks. other than billk i don't think there was any other vp-44 trucks in the open classes.



if you guys have never been able to see these 6000+rpm, 200psi trucks come out of the hole you need to see one in person. these things are unreal!!!!



gene again you are the man!!!!! and what cheryl is doing with you i will never understand it was great bs'ing with everyone this weekend i just wish it was a little closer.

piers left my house around 4pm today, man i was tired of the driving and he had 10hrs to go.

Ah, Don we knew you was just bench racing before hand, you didn't really MEAN all that stuff... ... ... . right?



Nice thing about that auto is he can play at both places.

Dern things just can't get the power to the track with a sled behind them though.



What is Sheryl doing with me?



Why, I'm the Sled Puller King of course!



And properly valved, fueled, turboed, and clutched!!



Don't ever try to figger women out, it will drive you crazy.





It was worth the $$$$$ just to finally see Don m admit he was wrong about something, how sweet it is!

 

[Don M]

If I am wrong I always admit it. Painfull as it is... . I was wrong.

I had no idea what was going on up there. 6000rpm and 200 psi of boost is nothing I have ever heard of

[Jim Fulmer]

Hope everyone had a safe trip home, guess I better plan my vacations better in the future!



Jim
