Got a new one for the list! Clay Shaffer built himself a new truck out of an 88 c1500 RCSB 454ss truck and its name is “Heavy Metal” Truck weighs 4300lbs is powered by an LBZ with a duraflite transmission. I do the tuning on the ecm and the trany is done by Boon Performance. Truck got a new PB of [email protected]IMG_7508.jpeg in the 1/4! This truck is just getting started and has a lot of potential left in it! Thanks guys!

Mike is still at it?!? Is he still running that silver ex-cab? I see he was at Stanton. Nice!

Yes sir! Same truck and everything, he had a few years of unfortunately bad luck! He got with Walt Schieman@Prime Diesel and got a new lease on life and is enjoying the truck again as it was intended!

Got a new one for the list from the great north Quebec! Cyrille has an LMM/allison rclb 4x4 with parallel twins and it weighs 6600lbs. I tune it and he let off at the 1/8th and coasted to a 10.5041@102mph today! Thanks guys!

Mark, that's awesome!! Did the car hit limiter or did it run the full 1/4 under power?

Lol, about 900ft it hit the egt limiter and yanked power out of it unfortunately. It's not easy to make the power needed to run that fast without hitting the limiters and I want it to stay in one piece as long as possible!

I should have clarified, I was more so curious if it had enough gear. I didn't know if it was geared to only run 1/8mi or not. That's hauling ass regardless!

I REALLY hope he can get the 1/8 mi ET/MPH record from Mike. Mike's a good dude but it would be nice to see a V8 hold those records.

LOL, no Jason! Not a fan of what the water injection does to our motors!

No, we aren't out of gearing for the quarter, we are at 6krpms at 1000ft and we are limited to 7200rpms plenty of leg room there. The 1/8th ET record is our next goal for sure with it! Love Micheal to death but we are definitely coming for that record! I'll get the breakdown of what it took to get where we are at posted up soon hopefully so you can all see what we are doing. Thanks!
