Not faster than DrHolliday is in his fuel only LBZ without the intake, downpipe, or drag radials.
Same day, same track, no BPU diesel has outran Wendy in over two years, any brand, any year, any track. No TTS "tune-only" truck in our area has gotten within a 1/2 second and 5 mph of Wendy, and this is the home of the Extreme LB7 trucks.
But it was never intended to make it the fastest. When Kat bought it, she said "make it run 12's, be smooth, and get 20mpg". She has resisted my efforts to take it up a notch. No secret squirrels lurking, and dozens of trucks have followed our advice and setup and run similiar numbers.
Much like Casper was to the LLY's, Wendy has been benchmark showcasing what is possible with LBZ's as well as a tutorial on how to get there.
BTW,
Wendy ran 12's at high altitude without "Intake, Downpipe, or Drag Radials" and with no weight reduction, back in 01/07when LACR was still in operation. That was pretty much the day that the LBZ became the King of the diesel pickups. No diesel had ever run 12's on tuning at that track, which was used for most all the West Coast diesel shootouts. Any doubt that the LBZ could outrun a LB7 with similiar mods was removed that morning.
Where were all the new crop of Master Tuners when this happened?
