The tear down

[Diesel power]

Since some on here dont know how to properly use/ understand drag math i'll help.

from A to B there is a AVG of HP applied to the track, to get that AVG the total output of the engine has to be much higher than the AVG.

with that said, I AVG about 950-1000 HP down track, my peak as stated before is around 1200 HP...........Get it now?


Also things like Temp, Tire shake, tire slip, and other things will drastically affect what the "calculator" says to be true.

Not to fuel the fire but what races did this truck win this season?

None all runs were testing.

I was only asking because it says 2nd fastest duramax pro truck in the country and I just wondered where it set that bar. What were the 1/4 times?

No other d-max truck in the world has gone faster than 5.30's in the 1/8th except Me and Banks!

And im still testing......With a grassroots income.

That's a shit ton of money to be grass roots. I didn't know the 1/8th was the standard but I'm a slow wanna be according to folks :thumb:

What do the fastest cars in the country run in......1/8th mile. It's not a standard, it's a preference. As for the cost, yes it is exspensive, but my love for the sport outweighs the cost.

 

[Akdiesel]

Didnt realize fastest cars ran 1/8...thought top fuel cars ran 1/4 or 1000'

Any sponsorships?

I'll let it go as you asked in your pm to me. You do a good enough job yourself looking bad. I had a 2900 lbs s-10 back in 2000 with a sb chevy 4 speed jerico that run 5.60's with no nitrous but it only made 740 hp peak. I guess I must just be good at setting up a chassis and clutch. Not! Your not making near 1200 so stop with the bs. Your #1 fan

Every tenth at that level is about 100hp or 100lbs....but you know that im sure. You also have forgot a few things i have explained before, I have not touched the power levels since we fired it up. i went from a 8.xx 1/8th to a 5.30 1/8th with just chassis adjustments, and ran out of track time(winter). Not only that but my back half is the same as Banks and darrens trucks 1.7-1.8 1/8th back halfs, it takes way more power to accelerate that fast in the back than you say i make, you know this, i know this! so if dareen makes 1400hp and Banks makes 1300hp, then what does my truck make if my back half is the same?

OK it makes 350HP, Sound Better?

Why dont it show up in front half ET? My Clutch Sucks! Maybe i'll post or send a data log maybe then you guys will get the picture.......

That's weird similar to what I was saying just from a voice of experience instead of me

 

[Stingpuller]

Again

Show me a time slip with that on the back half and i'm done!!!! You can't make a 1/4 under power so it would be hard to back half a 1.7. Your trying to bs a guy who knows better. That's what fires me up! I don't know crap about computers so there you mite have me. You could bs and I wouldn't know any better. Here your trying to bs these guy's and I won't let it happen. Like I said let your truck do the talking and you would be way ahead. You make Greg H look like a saint, you see where he's at now.

I've been thinking the 1200 was crap as well. My little gas 468 runs the same exact times at close to the same weight and it only dynoed a little over 600.

not to take away from Wade but the bruno has been run for a while in Dirtymax Having a trans brake is AWSOME! Wade has the joy of higher RPM if he selects it right he will rock the world:thumb:

I really think Brad has done some really cool stuff with dirtymax, he definitely had some ideas at the front of the class. it was really cool to see things finally come together for him this year.

I do wonder if the dual pressure bruno might not be a better option than lockup if the stall speeds can be dialed in right. it's sems to me in a light vehicle that may be a better option to avoid tire shake. on a bigger truck I would think it would be a lesser issue.

btw. are you still planning on a bruno/lenco in your truck?

Why are you running valve seals?

What is your guide to stem clearance?

Was it the exhaust valves that had the damage?

The bent push rods and damaged bridges are classic signs of not enough clearance and a lack off oil. Been there. Broke that more than once.

Throw the valve seals away! Open the guides up to .004 clearance.

Redo the valve job and replace any valve with a bent stem or damaged head. If your using DPR bridges you need to rethink that also.

I think you and I had this conversation last year when we bent the push rods on Max'd Out. Sure didn't have to tear it down to tell they were bent, sounded like crap at idle. We decided to keep the stock "soft" push rods since I like the cheap weak link. Have had no problem since at least with the push rods.

Wade you have a very cool truck and I want to see it perform to it's potential in spite of what I personally think of you being a self serving narcissistic fool. Your claims are yet to be proven, they well might be this coming year on the track and I hope they are as I'll be the first to congratulate you. If you want to be the quickest 1/8 mile racer go for it, I say most racers would rather race 1/4 mile. Can't do that if all there is is 1/8 mile tracks and I understand that. That's all we have here in my home town is 1/8 mile. It's good for practice and basically that's all you've done so far is practice and T & T. Good luck, do us all a favor and take the double wrapped self hugging arms from around yourself and get that great truck running and running well. :thumb:

Why are you running valve seals? Oil is seen as un controlled and untimed combustion, that i dont need!

What is your guide to stem clearance?.004

Was it the exhaust valves that had the damage? No, both

Oil

You still haven't told me how your getting oil around the valves with positive pressure????? I like uncontrolled combustion, it keeps my pacemaker charged up. #1 Fan

 

[Akdiesel]

I thought uncontrolled combustion was what happened in my bedroom as a teenager :rofl:
