The Right Forum Now Anyone From Vt To Nc Interested In Being On Or At A Tdr Dynoshow

[HoleshotHolset]

It's all Frank's fault..... I didn't even want to run my truck on the dyno, but he insisted. And I'm really glad I did... . it's good to see what the truck can do stock before I BOMB the crap out of it. After dynoing it, I gained a whole new respect for my truck..... in reality it should not have put ~140hp to the rear wheels... . but it did. I just hope I am similarly impressed with the #'s as I start putting the fuel to it... ... .

I had a really good time this weekend, you all are a really great crowd... . I wasn't sure how everyone was going to react to 'that cocky young guy' (me), but I felt welcome into the group immediately. Many thanks go out to those who took pictures, organized the events, and put up with my BS for two whole days.

Matt S, your truck is runnin' sweet... . as is everyone else's..... hopefully the days of 400 or even 600rwhp are not that far off!!



Matt - need for diesel insanity partially satisfied... but not for long.

You guys are having too much fun. . . do you New Englanders really think you can have more fun than the NW BOMBers??



Hey, does anyone know if there will be any drags going on or anything else entertaining the weekend of Oct. 13?? This Left Coaster is going to be up in your neck of the woods that weekend and would like to scare up some of you guys Too bad you had all this fun a couple weekends too soon! I want to stop by Ted J's shop Friday or Saturday as well as meeting up with some of you guys if it works out. Maybe another excuse to have another track day or something.

Yes I'm slow (thanks Fred). I already told Scott I will be getting both an HX35 AND possibly a Comp box in the spring. I was dissapointed in my numbers. Best run was 275 rwhp, I was hoping for 325rwhp. O well, more money, more power (or should I say Mopar?? ). As Fred said, I glad Santa is Cummins soon

BTW, I'm surprised that Fred was the only one to light'em up, guess that smile got to him.



Here's the deal on the pics. I was using Scott's camera, so I have to wait for him to e-mail the pics. While I'm waiting, If you all would e-mail you numbers with your license tag number (so I can match numbers with trucks). I will then post. It may take a week, I only have internet access at work and as stated, I'm waiting on Scott. Hopefully everyone can wait??



I enjoyed meeting new faces and seeing everyone else again. A cold day but alot of fun.



Special appreciation goes to VeeTenJeff for his patriotism. He had a huge American flag waving proudly from the bed of his rig.



Sunday was a great day also, I would have to say that the highlight of the day was on the way home. Massdiesel was leading the way. To make a long story short, he had alot of fun with his new box. I've never seen someone on a motorcycle completely dissapear in a cloud of smoke in front of my eyes. It was way too funny!



Mactruck - Glad you like my ride, as Scott says, drivng is believing.



Thank you very much Scott for setting up this past weekend.



I'll post when I get the pics from Scott.

Be Safe!

 

[HoleshotHolset]

I'm gonna chime in yet again to shout out my appreciation to those who made this weekend a success.....

I had a blast!

Looks like we might do it all over again on the weekend of the 13th... . ?? I hope so... .

Just thought I would give you all an update.



Massdiesel has been quit busy this past week. Talked to him last night and found out he is having trouble downloading the pics. FRodrigues's wife let me borrow her camera for the pics of all the rigs together. I'm hoping to be getting these pictures soon. I will then post at least them.



I will take my camera to Massdiesel's on the 13th. Hopefully I can post the pics quicker from that.



So I guess for now, we should all post our own numbers.



Sorry guys (and ladies)



BTW, the only person that sent me his numbers was:

MATTS (90 W250, 5PSD) 229. 0RWHP, the only first gen there.

 

[HoleshotHolset]

My #'s have been in my signature since 5PM the day of the event.....



Matt: '94 2500 reg. cab. 4x4 47RH, no added fuel, no added boost and lots of hard miles = 139. 9rwhp on a stock 160hp pump



Oh yeah! Duffman... can't breathe from all the soot!

Sorry, my bad. I did see it in your sig. just forgot to mention it in my post.

Drum-roll please... ... ... ... ... ... Scott sent me the pics over the weekend. Now all I need to do is figure out how to post them, I don't have all of them though, but I do have most. I will post them when I figure this out. (it will be sometime today hopefully).

Massdiesel

Okay, here's the first pick. Of course its Massdiesel. Don't remember his exact HP, but he was above 350 rwhp

 

[Batman]

Here's MATTS, Here he is blowing almost as much smoke as MoparMuscle (unfortunately, not as much HP)

Matt ran a best of 229. 6rwhp: 1990, W250 5 speed

 

[Batman]

Here's RAMHEAD3437. His best run was 355. 6 RWHP. This was before he put his propane in, can't wait to see what it does now.

 

[Batman]

JES, prior to his best run with his COMP box on. Best run, stock truck, & comp box: 316. 8 rwhp

The day after this picture was taken, Jim lined his truck up at New England dragway and did a 1000' plus burnout (yeah that's right one thousand foot burnout)

 

[Batman]

VeeTenJeff. Here's Jeff lining up on the rollers. Sorry, don't have his HP figures.

 

[Batman]

HoleshotHolset. Getting setup before his best run of 139. 9 RWHP.

 

[Batman]

BigDaddy, hooked up and ready to go. Don't know what he ran for numbers.

 

[Batman]

I'm Batman... ... ... . okay, I was dissapointed with my numbers that day (I thought I would've been higher). But I have resorted to saving more coin and asking Santa for a Piers modified HX35. I ran a best of 275. 4 RWHP.

 

[Batman]

Hope you all enjoyed the pics. (read as: hope I did a good job taking them and posting them)



I'm still waiting for a couple from Massdiesel..... sorry Moparmuscle and FRodrigues. It's not my fault... ... really! I will be posting these as soon as I get them.



Hopefully Fred won't forget the group shots that I took. I will post those when I get them this weekend.

 

[BigDaddy]
