G.M. Performance Parts Duramax Diesel Top Dragster final prep for testing
- Thread starter COMP461
- Start date
it’s a long long story , but she is the older sister to my daughter. And she is not my step daughter. Jordan up until two year ago raced motocross, after a injury crash she is done with two wheelers. She has done a good job driving my land speed cars, so we are taking it one step at a time. The neat part of a Dmax power plant is that you can turn it down. This car with 700 hp and her in the car will easily run mid to high 7’s at 185 mph
We are waiting on the proto type wiring harness to come back from the wiring harness shop. This harness is a total stand-alone harness requiring just a stock LBZ ECM. The harness has 5 weatherpac connectors 6 inches from the ECM connectors. The wiring is minimal just the injectors sensors and throttle pedal. I had the harness shop pop me off 20 of them to begin with, for anyone else that wants one. GM performance parts helped me aquire all new connectors.

The Coan Mega glide with fluid dump and GearVendors. with the Strange Pro housing with 3.40 gears
the RPM performance 32 channel data logger

Stock GM LBZ with a standalone wiring harness, and Dan's Diesel Perfromance EFI live tunning. The harness weighs 2 lbs without the ECMI got sick of what people were charging for a a ECM connectors and 30 something wires. I'm working with GM to offer these in a kit with 8 injector pig tails 36 inches long and ECM plugs, with the other sensor pig tails
I want to see a lot of Muscle cars with Dmax power. one of my crew just brought home a pristine SS 454 , its getting a Dmax with 4L80.
This is not going to be a race truck but one that will have AC and 600 hp from the stock massaged parts

A close up of the intake and nitrous system.
if any one ever needs one of these ,
the DLC coated tool steel wrist pins
My crank after lightening and destrokeing , with Hemi rod pins and gas nitrating. The crank is internal balanced after all this work; I would advise just doing a billet. Chevy promised me a pallet of semi machined cranks this year. This crank would only go 3.780. I wanted a 3.600 next time. The bore is 4.125

With the hypermax car going as fast as it just did, the bar has been raised. I am confident I can run 6.70 and 6.80's, but that car is going to go 60's and 50's at will. Congratulations to them, its great when you see a program come together,
I’m moving forward on two different engine programs to answer this new challenge. I worked with CN Blocks and they now have a Dmax aluminum block that is everyway a BBC pro mod block with the exception that a Dmax head will bolt to it . This is not a repop of a stock block in aluminum but a real race block. It uses a BBC DRCE II oil pan, cam drive, and slightly modified crank. With the weight reduction in block and crank the savings is a little over 200 lbs. me in up to a 4.32 bore , and will handle a 4.5 inch stroke.
You can call CN block tomorrow and order this block for about $7800 and have it ready with 9/16 head and 5/8 main studs included in 4 to 6 weeks.
To compete with the current bench mark . I’m skipping that step all together and going on to my Big Block Dmax engine program.
I have 3 different head programs in work now , one is a 4 valve head that is a BBC , and is converting fairly well . the other is a billet Dmax cheater head that was done for a 2.6 puller , trying to hide is under stock parts, and its being grown up to the 4.840 bore centers.
This is what the BBC CN block with a production head block looks like , this is a Chevy block, but its exactly the same . you can call CN blocks and order this block tomorrow
Here is the 4 valve billet head, this head flows twice what a Dmax head dose with flow numbers close to 600 cfm
Here is the cheater head that will grow up to fit a BBC block . I met with this guy at the Dallas event while helping on a NHRA 500 inch effort, we are working together to get a new head out soon .
In the end this is the best alternative to make a mid-6 second diesel that can get under the NHRA SFI mandated weight.
I know I can compeat, with a raceable car

Again talk is cheap
You will still be talking about what you are going to do will the rest of us are racing! Next year at this time it will be the same thing with you, Nothing but talk!

Don’t know your problem, but you need to mind your own business. You seem to have a comment about my dragster on every forum. I have a full time job and more than one race program. Ill get it to the track when I get it to the track.
I took a big hit in time when I wasted my time with NX , they gave me zero dollars , I paid for everything ,, paint , taking it to the PRI show when they couldn’t afford tires for their motor home, and even every single fittings on the car. I paid for it all. I decided to move my parts to a new chassis,
if you notice I have all of the parts. So if that is your beef, fine.
I plan on running NHRA and IHRA Top Dragster, if you can run fast enough them come race me. If not them hove fun, but your constant attacks are getting old. What I do know is I did Watched you get your butt handed to you, do the work in the shop and get the car completive first then race. I don’t plan on losing.

Guys, lighten up.
Lots of folk want to hear about Hogue's build.
While you are welcome to post about what parts you're using, don't pimp for parts. We don't need another Wade.
As far as throwing a jab at Stingpuller for losing a race, we don't do that here, that belongs on another board. Anyone who shows up and lays it down is OK with us. This board has a higher percentage of racers than most board (all?), the average ET is 12's or quicker.
Greg, if r&d has moved this far forward on the new blocks and heads, has there been any Dyno testing, track testing, anything? I mean, if we can call tomorrow and order any of those CN blocks, and if we ask specifics of what they've found in testing as far as durability and heat control, what type of information can we expect to be given?
