Breaks while spooling

I put a smaller exhaust housing on also. It was a .125 now its a .110 also went lower in the ring and pinion.,
 
that flange is a big time weak point on the front shaft. I've broken mine and know several others who have also. It took well over 200 launches before it did break though.

Your governor solenoid could be a cause of the turbo not lighting too. You may not be in 1st. I had that same problem when pulling.

I watched your vids...take that TST off! My '04.5 does the same thing with big injectors and the Smarty/TST stack.

I hope you are manually shifting your truck...I'm sure you tried that. :blahblah1:

I dont gain anything by manually shifting. Needs to get to third to boost. I have tried this weekend spooling and leaving it in 1st, only could get 30lbs and second samething. Can I spool in 2nd low skip first?

Here is last pull before it broke I am the second truck, look how long to clear the smoke.

I only made two hooks this year. My converter was too tight...1700 stall and I had problems getting the S471 lit...I'm waiting for a 2200 stall to come in which I hope will fix that problem. Here is a link to the vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDt7BeT0Z6E That run was all Smarty, the TST was turned off.

The track official misinterpreted the rules and made me put my driving lights out...hence the neutral drop...I screwed up at the end and hit 4th :doh:
 
on my truck, I run Smarty on stock torque management... that and getting rid of my boost fooler made the biggest difference in drivability. there was just too much bottom end fuel.

they're too much for stock sticks... can't imagine anyone wanting high torque management with aftermarket injectors :o
 
I run torque 3 with something just over 200hp sticks.







I think I'm putting a ratchet shifter in my truck this winter. :evil
 
smaller exhaust housing will help spool up mine takes for ever like that if i dont sit and spool but i also dont have a problem with breaking but i get the same amount of boost in any gear 50psi
 
THe one thing I noticed is that he's pulling a tugger sled NOT a speed sled. Speed sleds start easier(sometimes you can carry the pan for a while) and that would help with auto's spooling after roll out. Tugger sleds start harder and never really let you get a good run going.

You need to work on your tuning for sure..

I figure with the loose and sandy tracks you guys have in florida this shouldn't be tha big of a problem. Now on a tight and hard biting track I could see it. What tires are you running? A local guy here has the same problem even with the steering CV joints twisting out. He's running a twin turbo 05 auto truck. We have told him time and time agian its the Mickey Thompson Baja Claws he's running, but he never seems to lisen to us.
 
Tires have been baja claws in front and bald in the center pro comp all terrains in the rear. I just put on claws all the way around but put near bald ones in the rear. The answer I'm trying to get is how can I spool more before taking off. When I do something breaks, when I dont it takes half track sometimes for it to lite. I always spool 100% of the time I'm just tring to spool more seems like a dog first 50+ feet. Yes that heavy sled makes it hard to spool after rolling out part of the reason to spool more before leaving.
Thanks

His converter is loose enough...2500...I would go with backing low end fuel off...that's the reason I'm taking the TST off my truck.

My TST doesnt fuel until 30lbs of boost. You should be able to do the same.

How do you know it's actually doing what it says (or thinks) it's doing, unless you're datalogging? There's tons of cases where the front panel controls say one thing and the actual command from the box (or stack) is something quite different!

This is where watching actual injector pulsewidth would be of great value. When you've got stacking and multiple foolers and calculations all running at the same time I think it should be more suprising that it even works in the first place. Especially when there's so much smoke and mirrors in the Dodge programmers.

Easy test is to take it off and see what changes.
