Wade put the whole thing on Dmitri. It wasn't until his nut-swinging haters came on and jumped him that he started using the words "we" and "I".
Awesome #s man. But to earn your respect with these guys, you gotta get it down the track. We are all behind in that sense. They dont care if it makes 10,000 hp. If it can't run the #s, it doesnt matter. There is ony a couple that can. When you can go out there and outrun Stuckey and Seth, then the respect will come.
Yes.
The "casual" diesel enthusiasts get all worked up about dyno numbers. A dyno is an awesome tuning tool, but thats about it. I don't care if I make 3000hp, if it doesn't perform on the track, then what good is it?
you saying 9.50 is not getting down the track?
Look at Seth's truck, they run probably 50% of the power that they are capable of and launch very soft.
Congrats Dmitri!
One thing many people seem to forget is that correction factors are usually far too "generic" to apply to highly boosted diesel engines. Aside from spoolup issues I have seen many diesels run almost the same MPH in high density-altitude conditions as they run at sea level.
They're turned down a little, but not that much. Maybe a couple hundred HP.
Jason, setting up the pickup so that it has the least amount of change with heat, the more consistient it will be. Of course if you go out the first round everytime, it doesn't matter... :hehe:

Couple hundred..... like as much as rust bucket makes without the aid of spray and junk.
Yes, 9.50 is awesome. We just ran our first one at Indy. But no, 9.50 is not getting down the track if you make 1500-1800 hp and have a back half on top of that. I'm just saying that there is WAYYY more to it than hp. Look at Seth's truck, they run probably 50% of the power that they are capable of and launch very soft. And the stuckey team, they have the knowledge and resources to make as much power as anyone, but they don't need it. They made a 9.08 pass that was smoother than an et street truck. And its still streetable. I just hope one day we have a full class of trucks that can do the same.
thanks man!Congrats Dmitri
Thank you michael, yeah im not sure how the whole correction factor plays either, all i know is that we have dynoed over thousands of trucks with the best of somewhere in the 1100 range other than our shop truck, the more power you make the harder it gets in the 1000 plus range, so correction or not when that thing reads 2000 superflow numbers im going out for a party lol thanks again man!!Congrats Dmitri!

I hope everyone of us reach our goals soon. Can you imagine a class of streetable trucks running 9.0s and 8.90s consitently.
