The New D/FW Dyno results....March 16

[Jim Fulmer]

Barry the mustang wasn't impressive on the bottle, I don't remember the numbers. What you really missed was Don and Chris racing and covering up the highway with smoke, glad you enjoyed the test drive in my truck, I told James and Bill both it would be a test drive truck, now I need to get the reflash done. You also missed a flowerchoke I ate up going home, he tried to pass me so I bumped the throttle then pulled back, jumped on it a 70 and went around him at 100 so he pulled back for a while



Jim



P. S. you truck is chantting DTT

Alright just rolled in from Parker, Arizona. What a long drive. Snowed and rained from New Mexico non stop til Baton Rouge. 40 mph headwinds all the way out, can you say 9. 6 mpg at 75-80?? Had an awesome time at the dyno. Yes I was a slightly nervous virgin but NOW ADDICTED. 342/760 not bad for the old work truck.



It was great seeing all the other addicts. I was wondering why the larger HP guys didn't have some add-ons you would expect, and realized if it did not make more HP it just wasn't needed.



Sorry about your mishap Chris. I got that t-shirt (transmission out 5 times in 7 months).



Nice seeing all the other TDR members and what they had done to their trucks and what they could do on the machine. I think we should find a machine that can load up the resistance to about 10-20k instead of 5k and see the numbers. I sure know towing a good load up a long grade at WOT sure can show you what you got. It is sometimes scary.

I didn't know Don and I raced.



Who won?



Me I hope.



Don's injectors make my 370's look like something out of a 6. 2.



Anyways, when is the next local dyno event? I'm in a mad search for lost power right now. As soon as I find it, I want a dyno to prove it with lots of people to verify.

Chris,



I was wondering what you had done about the piston and other problems you had with your truck???

In a drag race you would kill me with that auto.



I really like the injectors... I drove them to Houston and back while towing the trailer (8000 lbs) and no problems at all. They are sweet and less smoke than the 370's were giving me.

Course, I had a few bad 370's too. Looks like they were infected with some dirt... who knows were it came from.

I disassembled them and they are being tweaked as we speak.



I need a better clutch now This baby slips at about 480HP.

I think I may have found the limit of the Con O. It is much higher than Peter said it would ever hold though.



Here are a few pictures from Sat that a friend of mine took, that helped me work on the truck until 2AM before the dyno event the next morning.



Your truck is in there smokin like crazy too... .

BTW Don and Chris are awesome when it comes to makin' smoke!!:--) and the HP it takes to make it. No just off the shelf buy it and go, these two are getting in there and pushin' up the #'s with hard work and try.

 

[Don M]

Paul,



Yeah Me, Chris, Cord and others try all kinds of stuff to make more power, but I owe alot of thanks to Joe Donnelly and Piers.

Just about every idea I have tried... Joe has already and knows if it will help or hurt.

I have recently figured out that I do too much of the "me too" or "call and ask Joe or Piers" stuff. Its easy to get lazy and just pick up the phone. I need to use the noodle a bit more.

Example: I recently had a conversation with Joe about finding some boost leaks. I was trying to get them all tracked down one night and drilled and tapped my manifold to accept a fitting for compressed air. Of course I could hear air escaping somewhere and figured it to be through the intake valves. Well of course it was so I started barring the engine over to close the valves and get a seal. After a few minutes I was able to get the leaks to slow but never seal up.

I questioned Joe about the leaks and asked if there was ever a time when all the intake valves would be closed at the same time. Now, if I had thought this out... I would not have had to ask the question. Of course there is never a time when all the valves are closed at the same time or... ... ..... you can add the answer in here. I hung up feeling semi- retarded.



Deezul 1, thanks dude. we missed you at the event.



Brian,

thanks dude, glad to have meet you.



Shrimpy,

drice, lemme know if i can help you with anything. 12 valves rock!

Don,

Sorry to here about that clutch, it is a GOOD thing though, right?Making more power is the correct way to be going!



I just so happen to have a fresh rebuilt, updated DRE Sachs that just got here a few days ago.



I would make you a screaming deal, for old times sake, and besides, you understand Joes products and how to use them.



My loss is your gain, but I feel it would be "paying it forward".



According to Joe, it should get you to the 600hp range, and after that you'll need a dual disc. Maybe by then there will be other choices, who knows.



Just thought I would offer it,

Gene

I'm overvalved!!!

One thing I learned is that you 12 valvers can make some very impressive hp numbers without a tremendous amount of parts. I tip my single valve cover to you!!



DonM,

I had to leave early, but I am determined to be there next time. I want to make a run with the EZ on #3, to get an actual measure of the increase in power. Plus, BS with everyone. The PSD guys even put my truck on their pics page posted above. Cool event!!!

 

[HillCountrykid]

Heck, you got two pictures. One of the front and one of the back.

I forgot, what HP did your truck make?



Brian

 

[me4osu]

I only saw the front one. I'm on the road using a dial-up.



233 hp and 511 ft-lb

 

[HillCountrykid]

Dial up is all I use. Yeah, they got a picture of you with the 4-way in hand.

BTW, you've got a nice looking truck.

 

[me4osu]

Thanks. Your truck is not too shabby itself. Heck, any dodge with a Cummins engine looks just fine to me. The important stuff is under the wrapper.

BTW

Here's the one of mine on the dyno:

Here's everyone saying: "What a dufus!"

I also had a great time talking to 777mechanic, Don M, HillCountryKid (Brian), and Chaw. Sorry if I left someone out.



My truck with DD2's and PE EZ made 293. 3/671. 5 on 6th gear pull.



I'll have to get my PE Comp box before April. Let's home the tax return looks good...
