  1. LTS Max

    PPE Twins Pictures:

    Very nice! That should concern the Dodge guys a bit. Any max boost predictions? goals? hopes? Does the compound set up quiet the exhaust somewhat? I would imagine it's one loud SOB at full tilt. Mine is straight exhaust through a 5" stack in the bed and it scares the women and children....

    How far can the Dmax block go?

    I'm wondering if the Dmax block limits will be tested by RPM rather than max torque. Looks like the hardcore Cummins sled pullers are pulling 5K+ RPM's vs. the dyno queens running 1200rwhp at 3/4k RPM. I saw Banks had to whittle down the crank on their drag truck motor to help get the RPM...

    How far can the Dmax block go?

    Just curious on anyone's thought about how far one can push the stock Dmax block before a billet steel unit is in order.(I'm just talking about the engine block itself ,not internals) Looks like the Cummins truck production blocks are ok to about 1200 to 1400hp but beyond that they are looking...

    Help - ZF6 to Allison swap

    Ok, I'm waving the white flag of defeat trying to make my ZF6 truck fast in the quarter mile. Even if my South Bend double disk set up could hold the power I make, getting the 60 foots necessary to hang with the auto's ET's just isn't in the cards. I've weighed the option of getting a new...

    Info: How to Build a 10 Second Dmax:

    So are large rear slicks and 2wd runs out of the equation? Is running in 4wd mandatory? I'm not sure what the exact driveline HP loss is with running power to the front wheels but obviously you are giving up some power there. Has anyone tried 2wd with decent sized slicks? Can you get a decent...

    Now what???

    Well I couldn't be more disapointed in my truck after this weekend at the drag strip. I recently paid big money to have a South Bend DD clutch installed in my 02 LB7. On the street and dyno it's worked fine and held my near 400rwhp ok. I knew shifting through the gears at the track would be...

    Duramax in Fast Furious Movie?

    Exactly, as soon as I heard V8 noises from the Buick I knew they had it wrong. The stacks are likely cosmetic and have no function. There's another clip of a 70 Chevelle pulling a wheelie on 20's. Back to their same old misleading tricks...

    CP3 Output Potential?

    Ok, so I'm trying to decide which route to take with upgrading my weak LB7 CP3. I've followed the thread about the Wicked Diesel stroker pump. So the testing has shown that it out flows the Industrial Injection pump. Can anyone tell me in power terms what kind of difference does this mean? Are...

    An update from Gale Banks

    So are steel pistons an option? Are they not appropriate for that high rpm use? I'm talking about the Mahle Monotherm ones.

    17.1 vs. 15.1???

    Thanks for your reply. I'm curious though, with EFI Live aren't you able to effectively move the fueling and boost tables up in the RPM range to avoid the extreme torque at the low end? (ie-the post Pat mentioned the high horsepower/low torque tune) With gasoline motors they use to state that...

    17.1 vs. 15.1???

    I'm still learning in the diesel world vs gas motor and I'm curious why if your motor is built strong (rods/studs/etc) would you see a benefit from lowering the compression ratio down to say 15.1? I've read that lowering it takes some strain off the motor but don't you lose some potential power...
