Shawn Baca's cummins Does 2k

[meatball]

Can you even drive that truck on the street ? If some guy pulled up next to you on the freeway in a turbo ls1 car or high dollar sports car playing around and wanted to roll at 50mph ... Could you? My bet is no . I'm sure you can drive it to the dyno but to me it seems like the stars have to be aligned to spool it or it just right on its on its face .

And This is the reason why I can't find an 06 dodge for short of a left nut in California

Not sure what Baca s complete turbo setup is but I have a GT55 with a 106 wheel as my primary and I daily drive mine. I could easily pull from a dig or roll @ 50 mph.

Not a fan of spike one second dyno pulls though

So you spend $30k on a motor, turbo, CP3's, etc to win $2k? I'm not following...

Same with sled pullers. No one enters this sport expecting to get rich.

this. not that I support dyno racing either. I was dnr when Dmitri dyno'd his. 45min to get the truck set up to make a 2 second run was not as thrilling as some might think.

ha..i pi$$ed away more than 30k roadracing and got a closet full of plastic trophys and plaques and some cool video...never made a dime....some peoples fun just cost more than others. some dummies climb mountains..wtf

I don't think it was a 106....

I didn't get a pic from the front apparently, but these are from alligator

 

[mike diesel]

Trust me. It was a gt5541r 106mm.

Chris says it drives on the street plenty and make passes at the strip... I'm still curious what he's running.

For what it's worth, the one second spikes are actually harder to make a number in my opinion....might not test ultimate reliability, but most pullers would make about 300hp on an intertia dyno or even most loaded ones. Takes its own setup.

I'm done.

But what's the point?

At first he said II's truck made passes. But nothing about Baca's. Now Baca's has made runs, but he doesn't want to show any times? What is he trying to hide?

sweet mirror selfie .

 

[JQmile]

But what's the point?

Of "Dyno racing?" or "Drag racing??" "Sled pulling??"

 

[Lucky Jeff]

Dyno "racing"??? Wtf?

 

[Big Swole]

Is this really anything more than a chocolate versus vanilla conversation?


Who cares!!!

Not everyone has their skirt blown up by the same shiot. Let them get their rocks off they way the choose.

Only thing that realy divides everyone from making more hp, going faster / quicker, pulling farther is MONEY AND TIME. Racing Wallets per say.

You would want to legitimize a dyno spike.

But what's the point?

Truck Sluts and t shirt sales and super cobra bullet silver black death series parts sales.

Why? I made 854rwhp on a Dynojet and 972rwhp on a load dyno. Spikes are harder, trust me.

 

[C'ya]

Harder, maybe but they prove nothing.

 

[JQmile]

Harder, maybe but they prove nothing.

So horsepower, isn't "real" unless it is sustained? Is this the whole argument? Why not make dragsters run a mile, or sled pullers run 1000 feet?
