If I remember right, Don M insists its just the short stack that fools you into thinking these trucks have power.

ABOBB said:I'll do some checking around as soon as I can... They had a wastegate issue toward the end of last season and scattered the engine, although to what degree I never really heard. I was told in Feb that it was going back together, but haven't heard what the progress is on it.
If it's back in running order, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see it at Scheid's, or possibly running either the DHRA, or PPL schedules.
getblown5.9 said:recently talked to someone involved with that build and was told they didnt not rebuild the stroker style motor because building it the first time cost about $100k and was too costly to do again. i can not guarantee this information tho.

DarkShadowDiesel said:i'd have to check but i'm pretty sure it's getting rebuilt since i was told some 7.3 R&R rods were going in it. that could've all changed though.
duke1n said:Neat stuff for sure but they are mopeds when compared to a T/F car. If you want to be truly blown away go see a NHRA National event. 7000hp makes 1500hp seem pretty wimpy Little Ashley sits on top 7000hp so if you're pee'in sitting on 1500hp then you're a Sally.
duke1n said:You backwoods hillbillies need to get out more often. First, the driver of a funny car does not sit in front of the engine lol. Second, what does fuel have to do with anything? Third, Sleddy, you couldn't even handle a 3hp golf cart the last time I checked so your opinion doesn't mean much lol. I'm just saying that if the biggest thing you've seen is a 1500hp diesel at the county fair, then I'm sure you think you've seen Jesus and been to heaven and back. The reality is while they're cool and neat and make big puffy clouds of soot in the sky, there are much much more impressive internal combustion engines out there. So do yourself a favor this summer, pile all the cousins, kids, and wives, in the back of your diesel peekumup truck, if you can decide which is which, and go check out something that makes your triple turbos diesel mobiles seem like lawn mowers lol. So now that we have that out of the way, how many of you wide eyed county fair goers have ever seen a T/F car?
