    Newbie to sled pulling (tips,tricks,etc)

    Everyone in this post is spot on. Mark loves sled pulling😆 #pullinsdum Generally you’ll be at 26in, some places are 24in for work stock.. the higher the better. A good pulling hitch and suspension stops is a must. Definitely get those keys out! It is definitely addicting at will continue to...

    Rail pressure sensor

    Did anyone ever figure this out? I definitely know there is power in rail pressure, With many different Duramax motors on the dyno. I originally ran across the issue first with a buddies truck and 4600's iirc for sure S&S though injectors, we ended up limiting rail pressure down to 26,000 psi...

    COmpound S480 or S475

    Gates are required for drive pressure regulating. So sizing on compressors doesn’t really have much to do with that need. But the 65, is what was determined to be a fleece cheetah that was acquired on the original junk yard motor. It’s a 4094 turbine wheel that’s been clipped into a lbz...

    COmpound S480 or S475

    I never said that setup was on stock fuel obviously at 1132hp. BUT, truth be known.. I did run it on stock injectors dual pumps only. and it was great. as good as stock. Ifyou read it correctly, I'm just saying how the housing size makes a big difference on the atmosphere turbo. but...

    COmpound S480 or S475

    My daily driver has a 65mm vgt in the valley and a 485/96/ T-6 1.10 as the atmosphere, I used the 1.10 as I already had it laying around. I'd use the newer 1.15 if I didn't, its more cost effective and a REALLY nice housing for the same purpose. It made 1132hp at the tire on my chassis dyno...

    Zinc additive

    A good oil you shouldn't have to run additives with, like Schaeffer's. The reason they do what they do, is to make a oil to run. Not a product you have to add 50 of their other products into just to make it "worth something". BUT on the other hand, If you read the card that comes with a Compcam...

    COmpound S480 or S475

    If y are just doing stock over 475 it would be decent, but what I have found and many others.. is that when you actually increase the size of the atmosphere turbo it actually ends up driving nicer as it is easier to "breathe through". Think about it this way, essentially the atmosphere turbo...

    Daily driving 200% overs?

    My plan was to use 200% overs in my street truck, they were out of tips and working on them at the time I was really needing a set to get my project done, needless to say I ended up just doing 150% for faster turnaround. 200s would street, but I'm pretty picky on how clean the truck should be...

    PPE tuner questions

    On a 2004 truck you shouldn't have any issues with codes and a straight pipe only. But a little more pep and fuel mileage is always nice. I'd recommend getting ahold of Mark@ Danville Performance for a Autocal and Excellent tuning. It will be worth it in the long run, especially if you...

    Remote Oil Filter Setup?

    Wagler has a billet plate that bolts onto the side of the motor that's threaded for like -10 or -12 lines. Its affordable to, like $75 or something, I don't really remember what it was. I have that on my pulling motor, going to one of these...

    Running a single battery

    I'm single Dekka battery, stock driverside location only. I've never had a low on 'juice' starting issue. If anything bad glow plugs and low compression in 10*F and under weather to cause a no start... but, never ran the battery low cranking.

    Horse-torque Duramax vs. Cummins

    I give great credit for what Jeremy has done and done for me, I understand from a business side of things why he has to but, he seems to have 1 million projects going and nothing seems to be 100% dialed perfect. Nothing against him, but I would like to see things taken and perfected one at a...

    Horse-torque Duramax vs. Cummins

    I'd have to agree, we are lacking. I for sure accredit the Cummins worlds success to MANY years of development on the Duramax, no matter how far we advance they still have 12 years on us. Although there is great companies specializing and working greatly with Duramax stuff, I feel that there...

    Waglers New Budget Rods

    That would be a great sales pitch if you worked for an aftermarket piston manufacturer, but I think I’ll stick with this budget build and years of seeing trucks still running fine with stock Deliped lb7 pistons making mild to wild 1500hp and are still running. Good thing wagler deliped and cut...
