It appears to me that your head is about the size of this planet. :-laf

No I just sick and tired of these clowns. I've proven to the world what I can do , these guy want to just put to gather a truck that is no nicer then mine, and exclaiming to the world that it is the be all to end all, and even thou it has never gone fast ,it has the most potential, well it doesn’t. I know you have gone fast in a heavy truck, but it just as challenging in a light truck to go fast, especially putting a respectable MPH on the board , think about it 155 mph is turning the little motor hard, I have succeeded in building a premiere diesel engine , that stays together for more then one bonsai pass. , the motor has 50 hard laps on it and the bearings look new, and haven’t lost a head gasket one. This motor makes by any ones account around 900 hp.

Give the paint some time to dry. I'm sure your truck didn't become the fastest diesel truck in the universe the day you first rolled it out of the garage.

Keep in mind Comp that when a magazine writeup is done what you tell them and what makes it into print can (and often if not always) be two different things. I have a friend that bought a truck 95% done (Old bronco) and finished it up. After a truck show that he won they wanted to do a photo shoot/write up on it. He told them everything as it had happened. When the article came out we were all shocked. The article didn't have a single scrap of truth in it. They said that he rebuilt it all himself starting when he was a kid. The specs they gave on the truck (like what was in the engine, etc) were COMPLETELY wrong. It was like they took an article written for someone elses truck and put it with his pictures. The guy who originally owned the truck (and did most of the work) to this day (6 years later) is ****** at my friend and thinks he lied to the magazine. I could easily see how Edge may have said to the magazine that their goal was to be the quickest diesel in the world and they turned that around to being the quickest diesel in the world. Just my experience with magazines.

Comp,

You ought to post a digital video of your truck running at the track.

 

[Hohn]

Steve is right. The Magazines are often chocked full of BS. Remember the 12V suburban with 3400lb-ft? Odds are about 50/50 that the guy never claimed that-- the mag probably did on his behalf.



Yes, there's plenty of chance that the Edge team is talking a little trash. Fine. No need to counter with more trash. Just wait until you stage next to them... ...



As they say, it all stops at the tree.

That is some times true , but I have never called magazines and claimed something that wasn’t true , using advertising dollars to leverage them to write articles. this is nothing more then Edge's spin machine . I'm sure they will get their truck to run, the question is will it catch me and the momentum we have built . Until they actually are the fastest , don't claim it!!!! I have a program to improve our little trucks performance. It’s called hard work, here are a few pictures

hard launch

 

[COMP461]

time slip,, and the reaction time is bogus, the starter had to foul the other lane to run a single ,and droped a short tree on me, I can hit a pro tree, if I know its comming

You need to pull that motor out of the bus and put it in a tube framed truck...

Lets see 8,000 lbs plus pounds = 10 seconds @ 130

5,000 lbs give or take a few = ???????????????????

Richard needs to do nothing of the sort... to some (myself included) his is a much more impressive pickup running 10's than is a non street-legal, towed to the track in an enclosed trailer, huge slicks on the rear, tube-chassis running 8's.



Plus, Richard has more power. :-laf Oo.

 

[Turbo Thom]

And is Richard really running 1200 HP on #2? Do the numbers and see what it takes for a 7000 lbs truck to go those speeds. Really now!



. . PT. .

 

[COMP461]

there is a lot more to running 8's then just hp, the motor must make good power from 3500 to 5000 rpms and be able to rev gain, that is accelarate from 3500 to 5000 at 1200 rpms per second I never see anything below 3500 in a run.

Uh, Comp? I believe a guy closely resembling yourself posted all over the internet last year, that very thing.



BEFORE the truck even moved.

Comp's tube frame truck is only around 3,000lbs.

 

[COMP461]

I was running in the 9's , which was the fastest time so far then, I've run the truck for a little over a year now ,

 

[COMP461]

What got me started was the fact that the spin doctor were at it Monday morning after I ran the 8. 72 trying to derail the magazine articles that were in process. We just like Edge have spent a lot time and money getting where we are now . Their contention was that they were so overwhelmingly better , that these editors should abandon the work on our truck and do stories on the real deal, because eventually they should be the fastest . I have to defend what is rightfully my record

 

[fest3er]

I recently read a rather intersting book: "The Five Temptations of a CEO. " The gist of the book is:

• Choose trust over invulnerability
• Choose conflict over harmony
• Choose clarity over certainty
• Choose accountability over popularity
• Choose results over status

Fod for thought.....

Maybe you should redirect your energy at the magazine in question by calling them, instead of filling up this forum.
