Thanks Tom! I try my best but I would like to get it to a real chassis guy and see what they think. I have talked with a couple chassis guys and they have no idea how to set it up because the front is so heavy. LOL


I just appreciate that you're a humble guy who doesn't "hide" what he's doing or have the bloated ego that some people get with success. Same with Jeff Dean. You guys give me hope, and I wish you both continued success. :)

As for the truck, short wheelbase + heavy front = tough to set up, yet you are doing it. If you ask me if its skill or dumb luck, I'd still fall on the side of skill. Thats why Im so impressed.

Tom, I don't have anything to hide. I try to do as much of my own work myself that way I know its done right. I picked up some sponsors this year to help me out. Danville has been with me since I started this project almost 5 years ago. I went to HSP and asked Joe if he would be willing to do a triple kit on the truck and anyone that knows me will tell you it took a lot to let someone else work on my truck. I felt that the HSP crew would meet my expectations and they went above and beyond my expectations. Now that I have a family I just don't have the time to do everything myself. Jeremy Wagler helped me out with a set of his race heads this year. We had some problems with the gaskets we tried using at first. Jeremy has worked his ass off to fix my heads and get me to the races I needed to be at. Jeremy has helped me out with the block work that we did for the built motor. The attention to detail Jeremy puts into his heads is amazing.
Bullseye Power wanted me to try there stainless steel v- band exhaust housing and I needed to save as much room and weight as I could. The Bullseye chargers have been working great and look great. Before HSP put the gates in the system I was getting a total of 130psi of boost. The atmosphere chargers were putting out 40psi and the high pressure turbo was putting out 90psi. I can't believe the high pressure turbo is still alive. With the gates in the system I'm seeing about 50/50.
I am amazed how many of you guys take time out of your day just to check up on how things are going and take the time just to write a little something. It means a lot to me and keeps me motivated in the tuff times like I have had this year. And when I say tuff times I know this is only a hobby but it has become part of my life and some day i would love for my 2 boys to get into a hobby that have so many great people in it.
There have been so many guys that have helped me out threw out the years. I remember Mike L. Spending most of a Saturday on the phone walking me threw my first Allison trans. It's the little things like that that don't go unforgotten. Thanks guys for spending the time to follow my truck threw all the changes. It has been a goal of my dads and mine to get the truck to World Finals and I think this is the year we are going to make it. We are leaving Thursday night and can't wait to race Saturday!

I can't wait to see this truck run here in Texas this next Saturday! I've been watching you build this truck since you where running one of marks single vgt turbos. You have made amazing progress with the truck and pushed new parts to the limit to see what works and what doesn't! Hope to meet you and a few others at world finals!

There are few people who deserve the success more then you Brett. Your in small class of people who truly show the world the kinds of people in this sport. The amazing attitude and drive you have isn't found often in this day and age. Your passion is something I truly can relate to and only hope you continue to set the bar for success and attitude in this industry. Congrats in everything man you truly deserve it!

So with the Wagler heads y'all reduced boost by 20ish psi and picked up power? I guess those bad boys really do what they are supposed to.

I would do anything to see Brett's motor put on an engine dyno and tested at max levels, then watch Dimitri put one of his outlandish claimed high hp motors on the same engine dyno back to back.
