Dyno racing... just a number. I find it interesting how I can run 5.40s @ 135-137 all day on a 1472hp fuel only tune and the response is overwhelming, everyone loves it. Get on the dyno, put it on kill mode with nitrous, put up a 2348HP number, and it starts arguments everywhere. At this level, a chassis dyno is NOT the best option for finding peak power, If you have a 1600+hp capable setup, it belongs on the engine dyno if you really want bragging rights.

We hope to learn power management at the track this summer and be able to utilize a little more of the power we have on tap, and let the time slip advertise our usable horsepower.

So many of my questions about the dynocom answered here.

The last pull where my torque moved 300rpm made no sense to me.

And that how it should be done. Time slips showing what you can do. Not some Dyno number that proves nothing.

Also it was awesome to see the truck in person this weekend.

I saw a pic of the trans out at the race. I'm curious as to what was the issue? Also, do you run a bolted in sprag in your trans or any of the stages you sell?

I was talking to Larson and he said something did not get torqued down when the transmission was freshened up. So that is why it was out.

Yup. Front pump / ground sleeve (stator support shaft) I believe

[LAmiller]

We pulled it the day before in a hurry to make sure it didn't hurt the directs when we blew the transmission line during the sled pull in Utah, everything was perfect so we put it together and unfortunately the pump stator support bolts got missed and after a trip to tech we lost all line pressure so we dropped transmission, torqued the stator support bolts and went racing, good thing it showed up before the first pass! The joys of human error

[Craig_C]

It was impressive watching you guys all work on that issue, extremely fast with little communication between each other!

Classic. It's nice to see intelligence in the industry for a change.

Pretty well sums up dyno racing. It's a good tool when used properly, when things go amiss move on and forget it. Congratulations again Lavon

As far as dyno racing goes, look at who does it and then look at what they do or didn't do at the track? Enough said!!!

Lets not forget the on street fails. Between crashing and drinking _while_ driving, its rather sad.

Awesome truck!

We had Drew @ D&J machine the hats to mount the rotors and also cut the caliper mounting brackets for the front. These brakes have performed beyond our expectations after the first weekend of racing, we are very impressed and would recommend them to anyone.



We had to turn down the outside of the front hubs to fit the hat, a lot of work, but in the end worth all the efforts.


finishing mounting the new front clip and bumper.

What size rotor is that? height wise. 13-14"?

[slownoma]

Nevermind, found the answer to my question.

So question on the old triples sizing, i just listened to your new podcast and i was confused when you said your manifold was a 475 with 2 477 as atmospherics. Arent the atmospherics supposed to be the smaller chargers?
