Welcome wicked. :welcome:
That said, I think there’s a few good reasons why you’ve got so many people worked up about your claims.
You come to this board totally off the radar, with no one to vouch for you, not one single reputable speed shop, and post a number up that is higher than even a magazine truck with more free parts than you can shake a stick at… on spray. (Project X) You best these numbers on #2 only? It makes people wonder.
You say you aren’t a mechanic, that’s ok neither is Comp
oke:, but who did the work? If Jeff Garmon, Darren Morrison, Keating, or anyone else built this truck for you, that’s ok man. There’s two ways to build an engine like this: hire someone to do it for you, or build it yourself. Either way, it takes a mechanic. You admittedly are not one, that’s cool. Who did the work? (crickets chirping)
Speaking of coming in off the radar, there was a rather large dyno event in FL just a couple weeks ago. The high number on fuel only was in the 600’s with a single turbo. A beast like that puts up numbers like you say would have crushed everyone at that event who wasn’t sprayin’. Yet there was no wicked mega cab to be seen. Had you showed, it would have been done in front of a crowd of diesel professionals and on a dyno that doesn’t fluff the numbers. I garen-damn-tee your reception here would be totally different if you put these numbers up at that event.
While the diesel community is exploding, those at the top are a pretty tight knit circle. Yeah, numbers like that are up there. If you’ve just entered this arena through a side road we haven’t heard about, great. Welcome. But make no mistake, this isn’t some ricer boy, patcha on the back, 200hp spoiler mod kinda website. That is not “how we roll, playa.” We get guys waltzing in here all the time with BS numbers, trying to get respect nobody ever gave em cept on the Civic boards, and they get sent packin. :rules:
If you made the number, stick around and have a great time. Put that truck on the track and prove it. Dont be tryin to take crap like this out on the street. Paul Walker dont live here, nor does his buddy Vin. You may find a few people here that "live their life a quarter mile at a time" (gay quote, I know) but most round here do it where they get a timeslip at the end of the race, not jail time. Power like this aint for stoplight to stoplight racin. Show up at one of the diesel events and "throw down," you'll get a whole different reception.
There’s a lot of good fellers on this board who make good power and could help you make more, and some could learn from your mods. But comin in here and waivin’ your tally wacker round with an 800hp dyno sheet puts you in the deep end of the pool. Sink or swim buddy. $.02
I hope you swim, but I have my doubts too. Good luck at the track. :rockwoot:
