It makes noise, haven't had time to go test , I have a new Turbo Smart drive pressure controller to program , before I let it rev up and make boost
Time to put it in the museum cause it will not make a pass.
As far as all the stuff in your signature; why have none of us heard about it?

I'm starting to think the same thing. The thing is impressive and awesome to look at! But more important than all of that....a new slip and YouTube video. Please go race the damn thing. Hype is cool for a bit but like Mayweather vs Pacqiou, we just wanted the fight to actually happen for crying out loud!
no intercooler , I use nitrous to cool the intake charge , I data log Temp at the port to measure effectiveness of the nitrous.
as far as what I have done . if I show it , I'm bragging , if I don't then people say I haven't . you can go to my Fan page and see my programs .
The problem is you don't ever show it running. Showing us parts on your rail is all fine, but it's been so long that all it appears to be is bragging. I think you're good with photoshop all of these pictures are fake
Brag all you want lol it's your build and you built it
been racing and doing engine deployment for almost 30 years . been doing diesel for almost 9 years .
as far as I am concerned the long block is the same principal gas or diesel. This is the reason I am getting support and funding from the mainstream. fist thing they asked would it smoke like the other diesel in NHRA , if so then they were out.
Top Dragster is a tough class , it will take 6.90 to make most shows and it has to do it all weekend long with instant throttle response and bracket like consistency
6 years of that same line.....
If you'd make one pass, just one, and show everyone the potential that you seem to think this chassis has, a lot of people would shut up ...... The incessant bragging and self promotion makes you like like a self inflated jackass
You go off about programs this, programs that, sponsors and big names in the performance world supporting you all the time.....yet Jeff has his rail up and running passes with only one major sponsor in 1/4 of the time it's taking you just to get yours fired.
Before diesel, I spent weekends at the strip, racing a beer budget clunker for nothing more than the enjoyment that comes from making passes. You on the other hand talk a big talk, yet have nothing to back it up except some proposed potential numbers and a bunch of pics. This forum, as well as many other diesel forums, are a bunch of diehard racers. We race what junk we have, when we have it and when we can. You flashing all the pretty pics around is gonna get you a raft of shit when year after year it sits, collecting dust. People WANT to see it running..... including me. Make a pass, post a vid and slip, and i'll be first in line to congratulate you and your sponsors
BTW, pretty pics.

Yeap well put.If you run the numbers you say you can put down don't worry about tooting your own horn word travels in the diesel world pretty fast.

you nail it my friend,i think he built a picture queen.
Have you not looked at a top dragster qualifying run down lately. You need to be 6.80's or better to get in the show. You might get lucky and get in with a 90 but I wouldn't count on it.
Most of the NHRA National events and NHRA division 4 events in the past year has been slower. I don't think 6.80 would be a problem if I have to lean on it a little.
With the new block and heads it should go quicker then that.
As far as taking time to get to the track. I don't really care what anyone thinks , I have over $100,000 in this car , and I'll go race when and where I want. I have lots of mainstream interest, as well as diesel company's asking to be a part of this effort.
I will not have a problem getting plenty of mainstream press and funding to go and race full time.
I know some people are jealous of this , to bad for them.

See that's where you are wrong. We ARE actually excited for you and want to see it in action. Seriously. No joke. It's a sweet project. But pics and hype have come to a climax. That train left the station. Please race soon.
