you might need to look at the classes I am talking about Top Dragster is a bracket race with the 32 fastest dragsters , sometimes its really fast, and some times its not . but 7.0 will get you in 90% of the time . its a full tree eliminator , so spool up in not a problem , the Dmax is comparable in that a good Top dragster motor minimum 632 and some are up to 900 cid motors cost is around $30,000 to $75,000 . . 1100 hp will get it done most of the time , and that is flywheel number. My car weighs 1875 lbs with driver, and with the new CN block saving 240 lbs the car picks up 3 to 3 and a half tenths in ET .

The diesel engine will last longer and be more repeatable compared to Density altitude . I feel in top dragster My dragster will be deadly consistent


Top Sportsman is very similar , car

I wish you luck on your program, I can't wait to see it go down the track in public, hopefully that is this year.
Side note, when is your race with the power service funny car, since you have called him out?

I don't think he wants any part of us. He will not run NADM and I am to busy with NHRA and IHRA divisional and national events on my schedule to go to any of the other groups.

It simple Greg

Post a time slip! I will stop. It's the same stuff YOU CANT! If you could you would. All your going to do is talk. I guess it is cheaper that way. If it took me that long to get mine going I guess I wouldn't want to take a chance to hurt it a sit for another couple of years. I was hoping when you said you had a pro driver that you really had someone. Then I Hurd who it was and just laughed. Lol He is about a puke ***** like you. Only difference is he has daddies money. Tell your hero driver he still owes my buddy some stuff from the dragster deal that he never got. He's a cheat just like you. Nick said he hopes to see Alex out sometime. LMFAO! Ps show a slip and I will go away. Fake one you porn star.lol

what a little cry baby and your little rants are not going to get you anywhere I am still not releasing my test numbers. .
as far your buddy threating violence on Alex , might want to rethink that on a public forum
as to how long it took me , I race gas and diesel, was racing just last weekend . I had a dishonest company promise a lot and never came thru. I lost a lot of money in parts paint jobs and travel , while being promised money that never came . so this car been built twice , both times on mine dime . I receives basally zero in money or support the first time.

It doesn't take that much power to go in the 6's at that weight. That's why I said I think it will. BUT!!! Like always he's still just talking. Go to the track then talk. That should be pretty simple. Just race the thing.

I think you miss the point.

If you want to win NHRA Top Dragster, nobody cares what kind of motor you use. They don't even list it. Using a diesel is a handicap not an advantage.

Only if the NHRA creates a diesel class(es) would it make any sense.

You been talking about diesels running in NHRA classes for about 5-6? years now.

Exactly how did that work out? I've personally seen more diesel dragsters at diesel events than there has been NHRA diesel entries combined, everywhere.

They aren't migrating. Nor is it likely to happen.

And let's pray the NADM isn't the future of diesel racing.

So trying to pump up either organization to the exclusion of the only currently viable org, is just plain dumb.

I supported the DHRA even after I saw it was "fishy", because it was the only serious dog in the hunt. But today there is a better option, the NHRDA.

I agree. I've raced with both quite a bit, and it's pretty obvious the racers and spectators both show up in higher numbers for NHRDA races. I think that says something.

To run 6.70's it does. I know what my rail weighs and I know what kind of power I make. It takes every bit of that power to go that fast.

It take 1180 at the fly wheel to run 6.70 @ 200 mph at 1875 lb. that is if you get all of it . That is real power not extrapolated from a percentage + on chassis dyno’s. The big part of this is making it up high enough to use a loose enough convertor to negate the diesels lack of acceleration. We are stalling at 4600 and shifting at 5400. We haven’t been to the strip in the ¼ yet so don’t know how efficient the convertor is but I’m guessing from what it did in the Dr Performance and Banks truck around 6% . The Power glide should be more efficient by at least 1 or 1.5 %.
Wades 190 mph at 2650 lbs is showing 1412 hp, the ET is showing around 1200. So he not getting close to all of it.
The need for RPM’s and acceleration rate is part reason for the small motor, the other is stability of rotation assembly. If you can only more a given amount of air , and it’s never enough make the motor smaller .

Why do you talk like you know anything about Wades truck? It was real close to 2800lbs last year, I have seen it on scales, we dont live very far apart.....Last i heard his slippage #'s were pretty high. There conservative on power too. Thats why his ET sucks.
