Description:

Most of you have seen the truck in action, if not in person then in video. Quite a few people here have ridden in it and I’d imagine they’d vouch for just how streetable the truck is. The last time I checked the mileage it got 11 mpg on the highway, 6-7 around town.

On the performance side, I have no reason to think that the truck is more than just a torque converter change away from 8s, transbrake away from 8.70s and some weight reduction and more boost away from 8.50s. It’s gone 9.37 and 151 mph at 16 psi last year. Truck is good for 8.50s in terms of equipment. Faster than 8.50s I believe will take some significant weight reduction and chassis work, a bigger turbo (about $750 to upgrade) but in my opinion the driveline for it is there. At this power level (roughly 1400-and-change horsepower) it’s pretty reliable. It'll need a yearly transmission freshening if you race it regularly, which will run about $450. People have seen me make 18 passes in a weekend in it.

Just time to do something different and thought that maybe someone would enjoy it and maybe take it to the next level.

I still have the other truck.

Well, it made 1107 hp and 1483 ft-lbs running out of fuel at 5300 rpms with the power curve climbing like crazy. This was on a Dyno Dynamics dyno, which reads even lower than a Mustang dyno. So, in Dynojet numbers, it would be 1273 hp and 1706 ft-lbs.

I'll fix the fueling problem (not sure what it is yet, but I'm leaning towards the nose-down angle on the dyno starving the sump) and I expect it to hit close to 1300 rwhp on the Dyno Dynamics (based on projecting the existing curve), equivalent to about 1500 rwhp on a Dynojet. That should be all the turbo is good for.

That's at 19 psi.

Fuel problem was definitely the angle on the dyno. I put the rear up on jackstands and the pumps cavitate like crazy.

Home for a few weeks so I think I'm going to dust it off and make a stab at some 8s.

Cruised over to the track last week with it setup to run 20 psi. Went 6.04 in the 1/8th and then had one of the intake piping connections come loose. Coasted to a 9.80, but based on my usual 1/8-to-1/4 ratio, that pass would've been a 9.12@148.

Left at just 3 psi and 2750 rpms. According to the data log I was only at 62% throttle after the launch - was a bit nervous since I hadn't made a pass in over a year. (Actually made three passes. The first with the tires at 13.5 psi and it just blew them loose in first and second, second pass it felt like the chassis never settled down, so I never got in it hard, and then the one described above. I think my balls fell off while I was traveling!)

Hopefully I'll get one more trip to the track before winter. Probably need to replace one of the A1000s with a bigger pump. Found an annoying, intermittent problem with the crank sensor. Turned out I'd put two spacers on as washers so the sensor was a little offset.

1107 to the wheels on a Dyno Dynamics dyno, which is about 1275 on a DynoJet.

Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3jSsTaTQME

Also went 9.64@141 on minimum boost (9 psi) to close out the year.
