OH MY GOD I'm going to end my life cuz banshee hates me and won't tell me his secret nozzle placement or what parts he is using---come on.....
look guys and banshee the jest of my post to TJ's response was agreeing on how no one likes to help anyone out anymore--I should have made that clear, not just typing a quick response to TJ, as TJ was specific when he reponded to your post banshee, bad on me and I should have read TJ's post again before I responded after banshee laid one on me, to make that clear--again bad on me--so I'm sorry for that--
I really don't care where your nozzle is banshee, but when a guy says he did this and then does the secret sauce thing, it is frustrating to guys seeking info--'ell if a guy can save a dime why not, TJ's first post is showing that frustration and he's dead on that you got your info from Dennis on his second post, thus saving you time and money---unless of course I'm sworn to secrecy(I haven't been since HVAC passed on)--were you sworn to secrecy, if so you should've said so and then I wouldn't be here typing this and John P wouldn't be telling me about my posting habits... .
John P--I just try and state facts, as I personally know them, when I post info...
the only reason I'm on this thread is to see what COMP is up to, that is not to be taken like I'm against him or for him, cuz I don't know--I do know that he gets some guys riled up and that what makes sense for a full out race truck may not make sense for the daily driver, dyno truck, sledpuller or part time drag racer and vice versa, but he does get some action going that's for sure and who knows he might be right on this progressive thing, but I don't know, thus it's nice to see Dennis responding, cuz there's always two sides to the coin usually and we need to see both sides.....
as for Dennis I think we all know he is very knowledgeable, as he's been at this a long time and I would agree that more would agree with him than COMP and at this moment that includes me...
but I'm trying to be a little open minded, because I've been wondering about a progressive controller for my system and if it would be beneficial and there's not much info out there, thus this thread caught my eye---chris
Chris, I hope you don't mind me using a couple of your quotes to make a point. None of this is directed at you Chris, just in general.
You said TJ was pointing out no one likes to
help out anymore. You also stated him wanting to
save a dime. Both statements I agree with but honestly what I have found is that folks say they want help, or want to save money, but in fact they don't.
Right now there is a 740hp 12v running around GA on the streets daily for a couple of years that has run multiple 11. 0's @ 123 mph. It was done without camshafts, high dollar turbo's, laser cut delivery valves, EDM injectors, polished and ported stage 75 head, fly cut pistons etc. etc. But try to tell someone about it and you get a thread like this where someone is gonna go off talking about high dollar cool stuff that is the WORST value for your performance $$ out there. They will tell you this truck won't live, I'm not telling the truth about it, or better, yet if you'll buy (insert your fantasy list of parts here) you'll make 1000 - 1200 hp.
This thread is a
result of exactly that. I posted about a 951hp dyno graph and that more was to come. I mentioned the components used to get there. Greg saw the opportunity to get his stuff out on the coat tails of my post and immediately started with the bells and whistles of the NX system and how it was far superior to the others. It then turned into a NX / TS debate over which system was better. You know, at this point I really don't care. Fact is, Dennis has a 1055hp dyno graph that his N2O kit earned some credit for making it happen.
The mythical 1000hp has been talked about for years. In one week Garmon's diesel put up 951, then 1055 using a TS kit. The next week, we took another truck and made 904 hp, first try, with the same kit. I don't know how to make it easier. The years of waiting for 1000 hp ended, yet now we gotta "one up it" or look for a "better solution". If anyone wants to create a variation of what made 1000hp, go ahead. You may do better, and you may not. But that is not looking for the less expensive or time saving ways to do it.
I've always said, you wanna go fast, talk to those that are.
