That is soooo badass! Interesting too, because I was driving next to a semi today and was wondering if anyone built one to go fast! Awesome work, hopefully you land some sponsors.

Allison has helped us with a converter and trans programing. Micheline has stepped up and sent us some race compound super singles. With not having a dedicated budget for the project its nice to have help. Heck entry fees to races and the custom drivshaft we needed have been paid by the few of us working on it out of pocket.

Lets get a Class 8 AirDog on that beast!! lol (i'm not kidding either)

Currently we are running the stock gear driven pump with no filter housing and it is dual fed in the front and rear of the head with no return, with a pressure of aroung 90psi. Ill run it past the guys, Thanks

Regen still hooked up?

Ummm no....lol

 

[Timbeaux]

That is killer..... does it have decent manners on the street, or is it purpose built now?

 

[1lowdiesel]

Cool deal, we can set you up one for 90psi.

can't wait to see some video.

 

[RedBowTies88]

[jkretzer]

coop you goign to be at th eopen house? i went to mack for th efirst time the other day for a picnic out back. that is a hella big plant, cant wait to look inside.

Dual VGT, as in parallel setup? Why the lazy 60ft? Sounds like you could be a good race with my 5,000-pound Dodge LOL

I ran a 10.28 in the 1/8th at 82mph.

 

[4x4dually]

That is sweet! Definitely not your average truck under the hood.

Thank God, 'cause that Vulva looks like chit on the outside. LOL

IMO of course. $.02

Yes it does, You could drive it coast to coast with no problem

Yes and the 60's are weak cause it was the first time out with the new set up we only made like 4 passes. More time at the track,tunning will result in better E.T. Im sure....

Nice plug for Antrim Diesel Service....lol

 

[imelmo]

I need to go buy me a semi now.

W T F? that's just nutz.

 

[Timebomb]

W T F? that's just nutz.

Yeah pretty cool, A guy in a dept working with fuel economy speaks with Micheline and other tire company's a good bit. When he mentioned the truck they loved the idea of sending a set. They asked what speed rating we wanted and we said 130mph they in return said not a problem...lol They are also sending a set of new Alcoa's with knurled inside lips of the rim... pretty trick.

It seems semi truck drag racing is kinda low key its tough to find any video of fast trucks. If anyone knows of any let me know. Id like to see were we may stand with other semi's.

 

[JQmile]

Most of them I know of that are fast are under-10,000 lb deals, like the lucas oil truck.

Email me if you are ever interested.

1st thought was wow what a guy. Someday I hope to have the funds to run your stuff from the cam all the way to that slick head.

2nd thought was valverain? Must be hi tech water injection.
