Guys,



Be sure to post times and dyno numbers ASAP! Good luck to all, I know it will be a great time!

 

[KatDiesel]

Well me and John won't be there for the drags. (I'm at his house)



Just got my truck back from gettin the nail in the tire fixed. Now we gonna make some adjustments and we intend to head down in the morning for the dyno.



Will the dyno still take place if its raining/wet out?????????????



Please let us know.



Working on a pusher pump kit right now...

 

[Floor It]

We are gonna try and make it!



Gotta put the truck back together, got the pusher pump kit in..... only to find out we didn't have any -6 size hose! So we gotta hit a store first thing..... and finish it. If we leave by 10am we can be there by 130pm.



PLEASE post if its canceled... or too wet.

Im leaving in about 20 minutes from Dallas. Its about 5. 30 now.

Should be there around 10am if everything goes smooth.

Watching the weather, it looks like it will clear up and be pretty today in Tulsa. High of 70. Good air for making HP



hope you guys can make it.

The Dyno WILL take place if its raining, as long as the bottom doesn't fall out of the sky it should be pretty easy to dry the trucks enough. Right now its overcast no rain. You guys missed a good time at the track last night!!

[Don M]

Finally got home. Man Im tired and sunburned a little too.



I dont want to mess up guys HP numbers so I will just say that I made 450HP on #2 and I know Jonathon made 530 plus with a stock HX/35 turbo and factory 3inch exhaust

Adam made 416HP. Sorry I cant remember the rest.

I had some tire slippage on the dyno to the point of white smoke. Maybe a little bit of HP was slipping away or maybe its wishfull thinking. Jon was either tire slipping or clutch slipping??



It was cool to meet everyone and we had a good time.

I had a great time also! It was nice meeting everyone and I am glad everyone came down. Things were a little slow to get going at the Dyno this Morning but it rolled along pretty good after that.

Once again I am glad everyone came down and I hope you all had a good time, had a decent amount of awsome looking(and running) trucks!

A Problem with the Dynoing

Over our Nice dinner a Crotcho smell I mean taco bell. Adam and I discussed the Reasoning for strapping the trucks in the rear from the frame points instead of Looping over the rear axle and forcing the rear tires(unsprung weight) onto the dyno not trying to force sprung weight down on them. See sprung weight has disadvantages like the Spring stacks on these trucks are pretty STOUT to say the least all those guys in the back of Johns truck lowered it about a 1inch and a half in the back. Your trying to use the frame and the spring to force the tires down onto the Rollors not forcing the tires Directly to the rollers. I think if you looped over the axle from now on you wont have the tire spinning on the roller problems. Just a thought dont take this the wrong way there werent alot of those issues today but you might give it a try. I know Jon he will try anything to make those BIG Numbers!

 

[Don M]

Today was the first time I ever white smoked my tires on the dyno

I have never straped mine down with the rear bumper either.



Taco bell= make a run for the toilet not the border.
