Yes, dont be smooth, just floor it, turbocharger is there to make it more efficient so use it.
No need to rev the hell out of it, keep rpms low but floor it. Skip gears, every shift spends fuel. 18 speeds are a waste, 6 is mostly needed to get up to speed.Ahaha!! Yea phuckin right. It drops down into the 4’s if you’re mean to it.

It’s supposed to have a good tune in it but either I’m expecting too much, or something.
Mind you, it’ll stay cool if you keep it cobbed for the most part, but if you try and baby it like I do, it seems it’s a battle sometimes.
Best I can do with it, is 5.3-5.4 on my fuel.

First time in Finland and maybe in Europe, loaded truck drag racing. This was the final of 44 tons class.

Cool stuff. What engine/transmission combo is in the Volvo? It seems like over the pond your Volvo is quite different than the Volvo we have here.
I'd be interested to see what flash it has in it, fls/fts ect. Proper overhead and such. What gear ratio you runnin?
So you’re saying I’m the reason it’s getting ****ty fuel mileage?

3:55’s with lp 24’s.
I’m curious to know what tune is in it as well.
Would you mind explaining to me again what the fls/fts numbers correspond with? I forget exactly, and I like to learn.
As for the every shift spending fuel comment, I really hope you don’t think I shift every single gear possible. I never split the bottom side, and usually only split 3 shifts on the top side but that depends on the terrain and such.

Peak torque is peak efficiency.I could see going soft getting up to speed, but on a hill let it eat. Peak power is peak efficiency for fuel burned vs hp, if you're constantly under the curve it's going to lose efficiency. This is a 2ws with hill Billy "tuning" and I beat the other truck doing the same work by .4-.5 and I'm 8k heavier, 96k vs 88k. His is a stock 455 5ek I think. The only time I ran long distance it got 6.8 at 70k with a stwpdeck and running 70-75 across the country.

Where is peak power ? 1800 rpm ?CAT designed the engines to run at 1300rpm, full throttle at any speed lower than the top holes. Climb a little past peak, row a gear.
I always run the ones I drive up to 1500

Probably, depends on what file he has. It goes back to what you said, peak tq = peak efficiency. Peak tq on most ohwy files occurs at 1250rpmWhere is peak power ? 1800 rpm ?
