The last time I checked an 05 common rail dodge with a single cp-3 won ITPA points last year so the 2.6 class didnt help out the d-max guys but beings how I work for Brent I got to like the dodge to win the 2.6 class

Mainly because he went to about every pull.. There were alot of trucks stronger he just was able to make it there to get his points.. Nothin against Brent cuz he is a nice guy.. Just a true statement...

I thought the point of the 2.6 class was to help the Cummins from factory turbos, and to give the 2.8 chickens a place to hide?

Hehe, Gene did you just say that?:bang


Smokeshow and JerrodGlover, our charger rule keeps it fair and separates the 2.8 and the 2.6 class. From the testing that I have done in house, an actual true 2.6 charger will stop in the 700rwhp range. The NADM 2.6 charger's have made 900rwhp. The 2.8 guys are 800-1000rwhp, do you see the problem here??? If you clip the 3.0 wheel to meet the ITPA 2.6 rules it will kill the efficiency of the charger becuase it changes the ratio of the wheel way off, ughhh why am I even bothering? No one wants to here the truth anyways. PS- I personally could care less about the rpm limit, if you run over 4500rpms you should have a blanket, period.

Yeap, Brent did a great job and I am sure that he will agree it was a pretty competitive field of trucks and no one knew who was going to win. The rules don't favor anyone, actually they probably helped the CR Dodges because they don't turn the rpm's the p-pumps and DMax's do.*bdh*
 
for the record, I don't think a single thing should be changed on the 2.6 class. It is an extremely competitive class wherever you go and it's obviously a doable class as far as expense goes cause it's also the largest or just as many as work stock.

Just to clarify.

Your good buddy, no worries just trying to get my point across. I have been building trucks for both 2.6 classes and there is a big difference between them. I am on the fence because of this. Technically speaking a 2.6 truck shouldn't be able to jump to the 2.8 or 3.0 class and end up on top of the pile, but that is exactly what has been happening, right? It has been that way the last two years. I agree it is competitive where ever you go. Either way you have to be on top of your game to win in this class, period.
 
i personally dont think that rpm is an issue. let em turn all the rpm they want and scatter there motor. but fact is if there running on a decent power track there only gonna be turning around 3000 going down the track with a 2.6 inlet. watching a truck scatter a moter on the line trying to turn huge rpms is hilarious to me.:hehe::Cheer:

X2, it's there money right? I don't care about the rpm either, it is a double edge sword imo. If you build a motor to spin big rpm's than you have to give up low end power and on a tight track that will kill you quickly. I personally prefer the power under the curve myself, I build for the torque...:Cheer:

Technically, yes but realistically, it happens for many reasons, not all that have anything to do with a turbo.

Ive seen 2.8 trucks over power the track and get whipped by a 2.6, a s well as getting under their huge bushed "2.8" turbo.

Also, a lot of the leaders in 2.6 around the country were 2.8, 3 years ago, and moved down. A super tuned 2.6 is much better than a bushed junkyard 3.2.

I would like to see the 2.6 truck that is doing 900 HP on the dyno and watch.
I think there may be a touch of the old, "West Coast Correction Factor" syndrome going on.:poke:
 
I'm not sure what classes everyones been watching but in the ITPA the 2.8 class is STOUT. there is no way a true 2.6 truck should come close to placing in the money in the 2.8. Of course its going to make some people mad and beat some 2.8 truck that just arent REAL strong or just starting out in there pulling days, but to be real about it, you itpa 2.8 guys answer me this, how many of you are there that could have won on any given night? If i remember right there was what? 5 of you? maybe more? so unless you 5 break then the other right on your heels break, that 2.6 truck SHOULD be in the middle of the pack because it needs to be a TRUE 2.6 truck not a 2.8 truck bushed down because he's running from the 2.8 class now.
 
This is my point exactly

Thank you, someone that actually gets it. Case in point, Schieds this year. The 2.8 trucks didn't get weak, the rules for most 2.6 classes are out of wack. JT's truck is a true 2.6 truck and was top 3 in ITPA this year and I qualified it at Schied's and ended up in the back half of the class becuase of the rules. I was very happy about it considering the other trucks in the class. I personally am getting tired of trying to explain to customers why they can't be competitive in the 2.6 classes outside of Indiana with a stock motor truck because they are pulling agianst built motor 3.0bushed chargers. How is that fair? That is what the 2.8/3.0 classes are for, or am I just missing the point here?
 
Looks like we might have a couple more pulls for 2.6 this year than what we did last year.
 
We made a few changes to the rules at the meeting tonight. Going with Unlimited RPM, Engine transplants will be allowed, and 6.4s will be allowed to pull with us as long as they're running the stock turbos.
 
So the rule is for a true 66mm turbo. Im asking because Im going to be buying a turbo for my 03 in hopes of pulling this year if I can get the truck done.
Whats the rule on OEM turbo location. Can I run a 2nd gen Dodge manifold and turbo on a 3rd gen Dodge
