After the event, we came back to find a ton of minor issues. All of which were boost or drive pressure related. We got most of them fixed over the following week. The next weekend was the last tnt of the year before the owner took the truck back to Florida, so we were pressed to try to get it down the track one last time.
This time the truck went a 6.65 on the first hit, but after that blew the boot again.
We have a game plan on what needs to be done to fix it. One of which is the 300k mile motor mounts are shot, and that’s not helping the situation any.. so Austin Doidge is sending us a set of his billet motor mounts. That, along with a couple other tweaks and the truck should be good to go.
One important thing to note is that we literally have not touched the pump at all. Everything is how it came from Seth. Currently, the truck is extremely smoky. We didn’t want to mess with anything until the issues on our end (boost leaks and things of the sort) were lined out. Once all of that is fixed, we plan to tune out what smoke is left.
Overall the truck is doing great tho. It drives amazing. One thing we were concerned about was spoolup with those chargers on the stock stall converter. Amazingly it will spool in literally 3 seconds. It’s very driver friendly, and an overall well rounded setup.
This winter some things will be changed like piping tweaks, motor mounts, pump tweaks, a roll bar, etc… then next year it will be back to try it all again. Hopes are to see what it will do in a perfect world scenario as it sits, then likely dial it back for 6.70 until the new engine is ready for it.
I’ll update as things come along
