Best run was 11.26 @121. was out of fuel at half track. Those turbos sure will eat alot of fuel once we tune it. 70 lbs. boost, backpressure will spike over 100lbs. and settle in at 75 lbs. egt's at 1500. will post video. there was a crewcab 6.4 ford there, 2wd running 11.8's with 2 shots.

You can't hold rail pressure with dual CP3 and a 3000 shot on 20% over sticks?

I was at the strip tonight, raced big bird (got :spank:), then met up and got fuel at the same esso!

My best was a 13.93 @ 102.2with a 2.33s 60'..... still some torque steer, wrestled around until i got into 4th. Nowhere near as much as there was in the 100' shootout, that tune was my daily driver, any thing i had heavier on fuel bogged down.

With my race tune I couldnt spool my turbo till halfway down the track, and when she got rolling i was running 38PSI, a bit too much for the promax, need to adjust the wategate a bit, and the tuning to get it to spool in the first half of the track.

But when it did get rolling i was eating up the last half of the track, my next best was a 14.34 @ 102, 2.60s 60'. That was when Bigbird pulled a 11.5 @ 118, :eek: you looked fast from where i was.

As I said in the video post that truck doesn't look out of fuel it looks like either egt's are high, DA is way high or not enough air.

The DA wouldn't have been that bad, and the 66/GT47 should move plenty of air. We are working on the tuning as this was just a basic tune to get some logs with.

Did you get some new shocks yet Charlie? We need to work on that 60'. If I can cut low 1.8's on my 35's you should be able to do at least that or better. Maybe adjusting tire pressure, adding some spring clamps, and drop the front end as far as you can should help. I leave at around 12psi and 1800ish rpm with very little torq steer which goes away as soon as I hit 2nd.
