    2.8L Canyon Test Toy

    Yeah that's the killer. These little guys don't have the weight, suspension or brakes to do heavy towing. Wonder how much stuff we'll break with 4wd launches.

    2.8L Canyon Test Toy

    I know I would hate towing with it stock. I'm tuning on it a bit tonight & tomorrow I'll be hauling a 1000 gallon water tank with it. I'll get it close to 6000 pounds & see how it likes it. The transmissions seem to be holding up to power. Trans tuning will be very helpful. I'll turn up the line...

    2.8L Canyon Test Toy

    Driving his truck with the twins is what got me interested. Once I knew how these trucks could run I was sold. Exhaust is coming off next week & I have a twin kit on order for it as well.

    2.8L Canyon Test Toy

    Yes sir that's the plan. I may do a little tuning in it's current state but not very much. After the drive home my def level is down to 27% so that tells you how long it'll be functioning. I'm not buying that stuff...

    2.8L Canyon Test Toy

    Hauled it back to the Seattle area, returned the truck I borrowed & drove it to Portland. I had a few trucks to tune there then it was off to Texas with the little guy. Almost home now. Drove it just over 2k miles so far.

    2.8L Canyon Test Toy

    Pulled the trigger on a 2.8L So I impulsively decided to get one of these new mini Dmax's to start playing with. There aren't many in my part of Texas so it's time I brought one home. I decided on the Canyon just because they have a little more of a square look. I was in Wahington when the...

    2319hp duramax?

    Well said Mike! And those are the guys that keep calling after they do it their way, which never works. "I didn't do what you said now what?" Then there's a long pause before I hang up.

    2319hp duramax?

    At the UCC Baca tried to use his power twice & caught on fire twice... D only dynoed. Smart move on his part actually

    2319hp duramax?

    At least not unless you have a fire extinguisher handy:roflmao:

    2319hp duramax?

    Exactly. To put down the power Randy did was amazing! Dedicated drag trucks don't need more than they can put down. Ryan Miliken's turbo setup is good for 1500-1600 hp on fuel. That has to be more efficient that Baca's setup that can make 2000+. That's why these guys don't drag race. Dedicated...

    4 linking the 1/2 ton

    Thanks for the info Brett. That's what I was after. If we do this we don't wanna do the minimum to be legal in the class but rather go all in & be competitive. It will be a slow process but this way I have an idea where to start. Sounds like we really can't do much planning until the new 25.6...

    4 linking the 1/2 ton

    So the NHRDA changed the Super Street rules for 2016 & I can't run the 1/2 ton like I was planning. Now I'm faced with slowing it down to run 10.90s or stepping it up to run Pro Street. I'm leaning towards dropping weight & going for Pro Street. Now I know the leaf springs aren't going to cut...

    Last Minute Callout Build

    Thanks man! It was great meeting you! I really enjoyed the stories & info you shared. I could have talked to you all day but they kept strapping trucks to the dyno that made really cool whistling sounds haha! We really had a blast hanging out in Rob's trailer while it rained. Good times for sure!

    Last Minute Callout Build

    The LL is a custom converter that Dave built. There's a few guys testing it including us. I'm not sure on the price but I'll check this week & text you what I find.

    Last Minute Callout Build

    Thanks Kory! That's the way I set the shift points but I think my issue was in the Trans never having shifted at wot since we converted it to a 6 speed. It was lost on the first pass haha. The second pass my shift cable got into the front shaft & it went into manuel. I really appreciate your...

    Yeah I didn't know much about this converter. Scott had it on the shelf used & offered to ship it with the truck. I'm glad he did!
