Finally in the 11s and something bad happened!!

[dman777]

I can finally say I own a 11s truck! I was super happy until my next pass I'm pretty sure I bent a pushrod. I will have some video up later to see what you guys think. It's a loud ticking noise.

Nice run, good 60', sorry to hear about the pushrod.

I hope it's a pushrod.

Congrats on the 11.8. Nice run for sure:thumb:
Let's see that vid. If your motor's built it should be minor

Nice time, hopefully a quick fix.

I should have the vid up tonight. I'm in Denton watching the diesel fall nationals as a spectator. I thought the pushrods in these trucks were pretty tough. I guess we will know when I pull the valve covers.

I ran stock push rods in my built motor without a problem, but I didn't run crazy high RPM in it either. I think I shifted at around 4000-4200 RPM.

I'm not sure what the rpm is limited at on the shifts but I broke traction on my second run rpms spiked a little. I think that is when it bent. I'm sure cam, springs, and 40+psi of boost didn't help either. I need better tuning also.

I'm looking for pushrods. All I see are the ones from Merchant. Anyone have any suggestions? Also looking for dampener while the truck is down. I can't ATI dampeners anywhere. I thought those were the ones to have.
