    2002 LB7 First Truck Build

    Took the truck out to Irwindale dragstrip (1/8 mile) for fun and to get just some baseline numbers. Didn't change anything on the truck or pull anything out, just got to the track and ran it. Ended up running a best of [email protected]. I tried launching harder later on in the night and spun the tires...

    2002 LB7 First Truck Build

    Hey Greg, I remember those times well, some great memories from back then. Nice to see you on the forums still, hope you are doing well! I'm hoping to hit the track next weekend to get a baseline, I'm really curious. I would guess the truck is making around 700 RWHP right now.

    2002 LB7 First Truck Build

    So I finally got a chance to finish building my truck, for now at least. I've been around the diesel industry for a long time and have always wanted to have a fast truck of my own. This truck is the truck I bought when I was 17 and have had for almost 10 years now. I could never see parting ways...

    I'm going to have to retire.

    Hey Mike, I wish the best for you and wife and your family. I know health problems can be really difficult, so I hope everything goes smoothly for both of you. I really have enjoyed the few conversations we have had over the years. Thanks for everything you have done for the duramax community...

    Rail pressure is more then 3k lower and no code

    My 2002 wouldn't set a low rail code until it was down below 10k rail pressure at WOT. I replaced the FPRV with a race valve, and replaced the CP3 and my problem was fixed. It could also be caused by high injector return rates as others have said.

    Things to do in Southern California?

    Once you get up to Malibu area, PCH becomes really scenic. Or you could go down south to Laguna Beach too, really scenic down there as well.

    Sizing out my Compounds...

    If you plan on making 1350hp with spray and running an s400 series as an atmospheric, I would consider a wastegate for that turbo as well to keep the drive pressure down. Have you thought about running an s500 series such as an s591 or GT55 (GTX5533) as the atmospheric and s400 in the valley?

    Duramax pioneer thread

    Wow, its been a long time since we've talked Greg. I remember the dyno day at Redline in 07, and all the fun we had going to Fontana back in the day. Dan and I were just talking the other day about how not many people are left from the original socal black smoke. Everything has been going well...

    Duramax pioneer thread

    Wow, its been a while now hasn't it. I remember the old days of the diesel scene around socal, back when we had the original group of people and Socal black smoke. I remember going to truckin for kids 2006, whenever casper ran 11s and PPE had their race truck. It was a lot of fun when everything...

    Congrats to Dan Grant

    Dan is still running a single gtx45. We worked on the truck until 4am Saturday morning, and it ran 11.77 on the first pass with the new motor, and it got down to [email protected] by the 4th pass on the new motor. Should be interesting to see what this truck can get down to with some more dialing in...

    New garret gtx4088 - sema

    Mark, I heard that the 68mm turbine wheel was a typo and it is the same 77mm turbine wheel as the normal gt4088r, but I cannot confirm that. With a 68mm turbine, that would effectively make this turbo a GTX3588R. Keep in mind, the truck that made 654 was with no lift pump, stock intake bridge...
