There i am cruising along minding my own business when a duramax w/ exhaust pullsup next to me at a light. I am on the right and he revs up the motor. It sounded loud and snotty. The problem was that i had put on a new 14cm housing on my hx35 and had a problem w/ the wastegate actuator mounting and didn't have the wastegate hooked up. I f you ever driven a CTD w/o the wastegate that closes, you would understand( it is a pig, max boost is 15 lbs, tons of smoke and gobs of heat )Back to the story, we roll down the windows and he says "care to run that badboy?" I am sick :mad: Had to say"I have a problem w/ my turbo and don't have any boost" He gives me a look and says we will meet again. so i say that he should reconsider as i put down 400 HP on the dyno last month. He says that is ok as he puts out around 460hp (out being the key word). So we go our separate ways. I have since put in a Kwikspool HX-40 14cm. This turbo is great. Sounds like a F16 on full song. Leaving work on Friday, driving down the same road,low and behold, here comes this duramax on my left side again. We are doing around 35 and he rolls down his window and says "did you get your turbo fixed?" I shake my head up and down "yes" We jump on them "RAPPPPPPPPPPPAAPPPPPPP " is blaring in my ear( that thing is loud) he pulls me by 1-2 truck lengths before we have to shut down for the next light. I then realize my comp is on 1/1 I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER I quickly switch it to 5/5 just in time to hear him start to powerbrake his truck in anticipation of the light changing. I did the same and built around 10 lbs of boost. Light turns green and we are off... ... pulled him immediately by about 3/4 of a truck length in first, DTT shifted to second and i keep pulling him thru third. I had him by almost 2 truck lengths when we had to brake hard for the next light. Both of us were working very hard not to rearend the cars in front of us :rolleyes: He says "DAMN that is the first race i have lost in my truck" and "nobody has even given me a good race until now" "What did you do to that truck?! I say turbo,mild injectors and a box. The look on his face was priceless. Another beaten man driving a Duracrap.



Defiantly, the most fun you can have with your clothes on!!!



Whoohoo

my chipped duramax runs in the 12s
 
"my chipped duramax runs in the 12s"



Must have had to fix your tie rods once of twice;)



and Ally at least once?



If your dmax is running in the 12's you have more than just a box on your General Mistake truck: transmission, front end modified, stacked boxes and programing... . needless to say, more than just..... A chip? And a few $$$$



Very respectable for probably stock injectors and turbo? I guess one of the benefits of an over square motor concerning EGT problems.

All in fun. How come I never hear about these 12 second D'Max's lining up against JetPilot or anybody else that's running some real power? Seems to me that all the guys (on the dieselstop at least) that are in the 12's have to have drugs... why is that? Aren't there fellas runnin' 12's on straight #2 w/ The Mighty Cummins?



Like I said, all in fun. Oo.

Back when I had my Duracrap, you know before the fuel system went totally to poop, I was running in the low 13's I think. I never had an official time slip because I never brought it to the track, but I did beat a Mustang GT and hang close to a Z28. All I had done to it was a Edge Juice 4. 61 (not the hot one with the 125 hp setting) set on Level 4 90hp. I only ran it on 4 when I wanted to play but kept it on 2 to keep the trannie and everything from blowing up. I will say that I do miss the fun factor of that truck. Stock injectors and stock turbo and I could lay some smoke. Most of the street racers didn't want anything to do with me. But, alas, the engine was a total piece and now I have a real diesel.

Duradiddy with drugs was at the MS pull a couple of weeks ago. Didn't make top three. A ford got second, but he broke and had to be dragged home.



Joy to the other diesels that are trying, I'll race ANYbody, but I'll always like mine better, no matter who/what I lose to. There'll always be somebody bigger and badder, somewhere. Good thing is, there ain't many around here. :D
 
Got 1 too

I’m headed home on the 202 E last night when I see a truck coming up behind me doing 80+. When he pulls even I see it is a DoggieMut with flames, 20"wheels, and more gauges than me. Well the 202 is empty and with 19#’s on the steam gauge I just feed the HX-40 slow and steady and I walked away from this clown. At C++ he backs out of it and we drop back to Hi-cruse and this guy pull’s even again pointing at me and head bobbing like a dash doggie. I see my exit coming up so I floor it and leave him setting in a soot storm. Half an hour later I’m at Sonic having a midnight snack and who pulls up beside me? You got it! Circus Boy, and I get a 20 minute discourse on all the money he has spent on his truck. Crap for what he has in that thing I could own two trucks like mine or one really fast one and a stupid looking paint job. :p ;) :D :eek:

All in fun. How come I never hear about these 12 second D'Max's lining up against JetPilot



actually jet pilot has sorta said he would try to come to a dyno day on the 13th of december,and we are trying to gwet the local 1/4 mile track to open up for us. we need to be able to garantee a certain number of trucks for it to happen. as far as tie rods mine are all stock. turbo stock and injects. i have dynoed at 558. 9 hp be fore and hope to be going over 600 this dyno day. the transmission has been built a little but then again i thought moost people that race or pull do at least some traanny mods. not trying to put down dodge,my last teruck was dodge and my next prolly will too. just hard to beat zero percent interest

Shoot, no offence but you have a long way to go to catch Jet Pilot. He just dynoed 880HP the other week. So where are you located that Jet Pilot said he would try to be there?
 
I have been waiting 2 long years to get a run with a d-max. Well finally at my favorite little spot, where 2 lanes merge into one shortly after a light, what do I pull up beside but a D-max with a 4 or 5 inch exhaust, several stickers, and all of the gauges. I make a quick scan of the intersection and there is no other cars even on the road. (early sat morning) Well just as I start to bring up the boost I thought to check the rear view to see If there was any traffic behind that would be getting a good smoking! I cant believe my luck. Rolling up behind me is a cop car!:{ Well, I soft footed it off the light and the d-max took me because I was being very careful not to soot up the cop behind me.
 
Congrats Dan, as I have said before - that truck of yours is amazing. Your neighbor has gotta feel bumbed that you did not end up getting an '03 yet :)
 
ok ok, hang on just a second... . the duramax that pulled in ms only has 1 box and an airfilter. no drugs. he came in fourth. the top three were dodges. you can get a dmax very, very stout with boxes and no drugs. i am impressed with the power that you can get out of them. i don't know about the longevity of the motor or trans. but dodge has had the same problem with their automatic. i know i have bought several. isn't street racing illegal?? :D!
 
i was only joking! i have got a friend that has an '02 dmax. we went to the dragstrip with my '95 truck and he was smoking me bad! he was running a 9. 12 1/8th. i was running a 10. 10. way too much turbo lag! i can get him when it comes to the sled though! :D
