Nothing is more fun than watching the tach needle enter the redzone


from the wrong side! :eek:

Kinda cool watching the speedometer enter from the wrong side too, but that's another story.

Heres what I think. If you don't belive the truck ran 11.50's then watch the video. Does it matter how they did it..no at least not to me. Has anyone deplicated it..no at least not yet. Looking at the other times these turbos have turned really to me if I spent $3000 and have stock turbos running with me or faster I'd be pissed. It dosen't mean these turbos don't work just maybe better suited for pulling then again I don't know. If you say it needs bigger injectors and another cp3 to make it really work then explain to me why twins on a stock motored truck can run 12.0's and high 11's without them? I just want to know for my info not starting any arguments.

There are no stock VNT trucks running 730hp without nitrous... so what stance are you arguing?

Injectors allow you to run lower pulsewidth and timing.. You can make power on stock injectors and dual pumps but look at how many of the guys on here are in the piston popping club... That's not where I wanted to be. We ran fast on a stock motor... no failure...

I am one of the only ones with a Cheetah (68mm) that I know of that has made near the amount of 1/4 mile passes on one. Brayden and Larry both told me to get a drive pressure gauge set up on the truck to help with tuning, but I kept putting it off. I was tuning based on EGTs and track times. After finally installing a drive pressure gauge I saw that I was running high drive pressures, headers and up-pipes dropped them considerably and then with tuning I dropped them even more and the top end really opened up. I would be more than willing to bet that I would have ran a much higher trap speed and times with the headers and new tuning. If I had to guess I would say 12.0X @ 112. In the past when I said that the LBZ turbo inlet would drop me from 12.85 to 12.6s at best, I ran a 12.53. When I said that with a shimmed FPRV and lift pump Chris would go from 12.95 to 12.7 he ran 12.6. I said with a hard launch it had 12.5s and it went 12.4s. So if my ass-dyno is off it is that I under rate improvements. My limitation has always been rail pressure at the track - with the stock turbo and CP3 I couldn't get it to hold, and then with the LBZ CP3 and cheetah I couldn't get it to hold - it was holding well at first then started getting worse (without raising PW). Filters didn't help, not sure if I have a scratch in threads of the rail that is etching itself out or what, but it will be addressed when the built motor goes in.

I will be running a built motor with dual fulers, bigger sticks, and a bigger cheetah if Brayden calls me about it. And I plan to back up the 11.5 passes on a similair setup.

Thanks Kat, I was just getting back on to edit it.
