Anyone care to share any turbo plans for this year? Anyone going real big? Anyone running one of the bullseye billet wheels?
Off Season Sled Pulling Mods
- Thread starter Rhall
- Start date
I don't know about FI's ET-R wheels, but I had a GTX45R with the 11 blade billet wheel and it was less than impressive... I have heard of a couple tractor guys trying the GTX42R's in the 3x3 classes and on the dyno and were less than inpressed also. Out of the box GT42R vs GTX42R, and a 40 hp loss, Precision GT42 gained 60 hp over GT42R.....
But Jose at FI swears they work and are better than the standard wheels... But no dyno graphs have been put out for the public to see. I would want some results, and not just a compressor map, because if you look at the GTX45R comp. map it should perform better, but not true...
From what I have heard and seen for dyno results, I think your better off going with the 6 blade billet wheel from Bullseye.
I think im actually going to put it back together for this season.
I basically ditched everything not needed to go 300', and started piecing it back together.
Ditching everything saved some weight but the main reason I did it was serviceability. The way I am setting it up the cab will be removeable in hopefully less than 20 minutes. Everything will be bulkhead connectors and such, making the truck very easy to work on.
I dont want to spend the $$$ on a built motor yet so I figure If I can beat them with power maybe I can beat them by being able to fix the truck faster.
I sold my CAC to a guy so I guess ill be going W2A.
Remote mount the charger again for ease of service, and a weight box just for making things nicer.
New hitch design too that I got ideas from my Neighbors NTPA 4x4.

Brayden said you were going to use Tornado's before AND after the turbo
I dont believe they make head studs strong enough for that set up yet.
They have them but the only person who sales them is the rip off artist from powerstrokenation.
Hmm that's odd, I bought a set off some guy from PSN, 99stroker...99smoker...99strokersmoker.... something along those lines. He only had like 3 posts but he sounded legit over text. :roflmao:
Huh...sounds like the same set i bought. Sent him the money and i didn't recieve a tracking number or notice that it has been shipped but i'm sure they have....he seemed like a nice enough guy.:rofl:
You changing anything up this year besides lowering her John?
Should be getting Ed's old nozzles soon once I get my return :hug: need to find an lbz pump too. I got a small nitrous kit for cheap but idk when it's going on...mainly just for messing around at edgewater unless I'm at a pull where they let that punk with the cclb commonrail that sprays pull workstock...
The main thing I need to do is get a DD though

Better look for that CP3 sooner than later if your truck struggled to hold rail pressure on the same tune as Tony's 250k mile truck.:hug:
If we have it all done we'd like to. My wife's sister is getting married May 21 so I'm not positive i'll be free that weekend for sure.
I see, well i hope to see you guys there! Im wondering how its going to work out there and schieds, im sure the number of 2.6 trucks will be unreal, and i see TS is all on saturday... that might be a lot of pulling in 1 day.
think back 2 years ago in 09. The "mud bog" pull, the pull will probably go on until 4 in the morning on Sunday
