| Guest | Tire Pressure on that 12.88 Pass was at 23 pounds of Air Pressure. My 60' ft. was a Fantastic 1.774.....Hope All you Powerdyne Guys keep getting Faster besides Marcus Harrison (The King of FAST POWERDYNE's)That's because there have been many people telling me ,"Why did you ever buy a POWERDYNE?? There so SLOW!!!!" When I passed the Kenny Bell Lightnings,They said good Job but it's NO Vortech!!!When I Passed by the Paxton NOVI Lightnings they said, WOW!!!! & When I Beat the Vortech trucks they just shook there Heads.... How?????? Stay Fast Team Powerdyne --------------------------------------------- Ralph Voorhees Jr. 95' White L SVT# 358 NLOC# 330 12.88 @ 103 MPH |

| Guest | Ummm... got a ways to go before you get to the Vorteched trucks. Those guys have gone WAY down in the 11s (11.30s on Ketan Desai's truck). I don't want to be a killjoy, but let's be realistic. Mod for mod a S-Trim will outpower a Powerdyne and you never have to worry about them breaking. Also, who do you know with a Novi on their truck? Now that's a setup I'd be VERY interested in!! All I've seen from Paxton are the ball-drive pieces. BTW, when your Powerdyne breaks, there's a guy out here in Cali that repairs them with better than factory parts and a better than factory warranty. ------------------ Later! Jeff S.

| Guest | Jeff Sparkman please don't take anything away from me putting my 95' Powerdyne Lightning in the 12's.. I was told the BEST I could run with this Blower is 14.1 to maybe 13.80's...Going 12's with what I have done to this truck is a Big Deal to me..Please Understand....My Red 93' BIG THUMPER TURBO TRUCK will be RACE ready in October & will compete at FORDS at Englishtown... That's if you want to talk FAST Lightnings better than 10's......But you can see for yourself...& by the way this truck you speak of running 11.30's I'm sure has a stock Cam, NO Mass-Air , Stock Injectors, ????Let's compare apples with apples!!!!!! Thanks again, Ralph Voorhees Jr. |

| Guest | Hey Ralph, I'll give credit where its due. Running 12.8's on a Powerdyne Truck is like Derrick Cope winning the Daytona 500 in his rookie year. Damn good job, I hope I can join you for the joy. Keep up the good work! Steve ------------------ 94 Crimson. NLOC member #343 Team Powerdyne, 13.633@ 100mph 326rwhp Wanting 12's |

| Guest |  Ralph, sorry you took it that way - I don't see myself taking anything away from what you've done, merely taking up for the gear-driven superchargers, which I think is completely fair!! You've done well! Not many Powerdyned trucks in the 12s so you get props for that. You and Marcus both have really squeezed that blower to its limit. I know of no one in all of Lightning-dom running faster than the two of you are with the Powerdyne no matter what mods they have (and only a couple of other people who are as fast). So, be proud of what you've done, but keep things in perspective. Really, everything said and done, you've got a lot to be excited about! But knocking the gear-driven centrifugals wasn't the thing to do. They simply squeeze more sauce than the Powerdyne. Hey, ask Joe Cloutier which supercharger I recommend when all-out performance isn't the main goal! Again, I wasn't beating up the Powerdyne and I certainly wasn't smacking your results...

| Guest | Went to the track last night for test and tune, ran 4 times only then had to go back to work. I easily equaled my best times last year. It was my first outing with the Bassani Catpipe and Aerochamber exhaust,Powersurge filter, Rancho bars and BFG Drag Radials. I was playing with tire pressures a bit and launch techniques. The track was a bit slippery and I wasnt hooking like I wanted too. Best 60' was 2.1. That is down by 2/10's from where I was last year, same ET though. The Rancho's performed very well, the hop is gone. The Drag radials is another story, It took me 3 trys to figure it out then on the 4th run, some idiot in street tires drove in the water box and did a burnout and put a nice layer of water on the starting block for the next guy, me!. Anyway, the trucks power is there, just cant get it down on the track, spinning in first and when shifting into second. I think I was lightning up the tires way too much was not hooking at all. Then I remembered reading a post that you are just supposed to clean them only with just a little tire spin to knock the little rocks off.. Seems to me that the tires got greasy when I did the big burnout. Perhaps, that is what the track manager was trying to tell me, when he waved at me, lol. My thinking is going back when they have a sanctioned event the track will be better prepared and stickyer, with all that VHT and all. Later Steve ------------------ 94 Crimson.
