Last Minute Callout Build
I like the LL better than the 10531. The LL couples harder so when you leave it's more efficient for drag racing imo. I never launched harder than 23 psi. My first pass hooked good & got me 1.6 60' leaving with 20 psi. I wanted to improve since this truck has cut 1.5s. 23 psi hit too hard &... -

Thanks man! I recognized your truck there & asked for Mike a few times but you weren't by your truck when I was there. The slip collars are not the problem. The issue is the front diff being locked & launching too hard on a tire that wants to hook. Without the open diff it can't transfer the... -

We have a lot to learn! Just being out competing with these guys makes us really wanna step up our game! The whole team can finally see what the proven race teams do to succeed. Look at Daniel Pierce. Fireball on Wednesday, staging lanes in Thursday. It didn't make a fast pass but they had the... -

We swapped in a 3/4 ton 9.25 front diff. We swapped gears to 3:42 & made it fit. So yeah we broke a good one:o -

Made 2 passes before I hurt my front differential. Dynoed my 1200us tune this morning at industrial without loading the Dyno. Made 936hp with only 50 psi boost at 4000 rpm. Ran that tune & it feels great but my trans wouldn't shift. Peddled an 11.5 which I was ok with for my first ever pass on... -

Thank you for that! It's by the grace of God that we're here. I'll share a little testimony here about how God has revealed certain things to me. 2 years ago we were invited to the NHRDA world finals for the first time. We were pumped but 3 days before we needed to leave we toasted the... -

You're absolutely right! With the power these guys are capable of making it will be tough to make the tires stick. Drag racing like there will be today is by far the most dangerous part of the competition. Those brothers of faith need to be praying for the competitors & crews going into today.- meshanic

It's actually really dumb that we left a limiter in place. No excuses for that! We're done making excuses. We need to get this thing down the track. Today should be a blast! -

Yeah I bet. Never a dull moment in that line of work! Before I opened the shop I worked for an oilfield service company owned by 2 ranchers. Those guys & the ranch hands worked way more hours than the oilfield guys even when it was booming! I'll shout at you later on today if we get ready to... -

Here's a shot before we hit said limiter. She was really trying! I ordered the exact same dyno Custom Auto had at the event so no more showing up to dyno events clueless. So worth all the long hours & money spent just to be a part of this & meet so many awesome people! Gotta love the growing... -

We were hitting a limiter in the TCM tune. Ran into Kory & had him look over my tunes. The ECM was right but the TCM needed a few changes. Lots of thanks to him for taking a minute to help me out! We were spraying it but it didn't help because we had no fuel up top. Scheduled a little dyno time... -

Thanks for the support guys! It means a lot since this is where I get my inspiration & most of my tech info. Most people that know a lot don't talk about it much unless it's in a really good tech thread or over the fender of a truck that's not doing what it needs to do. On the 500s, I heard... -

No sir no time for any testing. I was hoping to spend a few hours working on the tune yesterday but the tow rig twisted the P2 planet & C2 clutch hub. We had all the parts to fix it so that took 3 1/2 hrs away from us. We're glad it happened before we left town! Just rolling through Colorado... -

No offense taken. I really enjoyed it as a sleeper but when the chance arose to build something wild I had to take it. -

Yep it turned out an 8 point cage instead of a 10 point. Those pesky turbos got in the way of the front bars! I'll just have to keep it away from the wall. -

It's coming together! I'll post up more when we finish it. We've been working like idiots this week! The shop looks like a war zone. Tools & trash everywhere lol!
