Nice. But was it just me or did it seem to be in a "fast forward" mode in the video. Look at the guys on the lower left hand side of the screen. I was like holy cow hes gunna ram the wall, then like BAM brake check! lol, either way, that was a nice smooth pull!

Yeah, not much smoke either. That's a really clean running engine for a sled puller.

It's 12mm VE...not a 900cc p pump. If I told y'all how much boost I was running with the turbos, nobody would belive me anyways, but it clears every bit of smoke up. I thought it was pretty impressive that a 12mm VE pump tuned by me placed second against a bunch of p-pumps and 3rd gens. A big thanks goes out to JDGnut for the steel fabrication (brackets and ladder bars) and all those hours worth of wrenching....I couldnt have done it without you Bryan.

Great pull it is nice to see a first gen beat a lot of the newer trucks, it just shows that you do not need the newest and greatest to do well, great job

Yeah, hand it over, i wanna know this too. Try me, ive heard insane numbers before. 100+psi.

Oh, i was just check'n out yer pics, and got a quick question, how do u get the primary turbo up like that? im assuming u just simply turn the manifold over? I like that install it looks great. N whats yer big turbo, thats a huge outlet!

The pull was at the Diamond W Arena in Alvarado, TX.
I'll try posting the clip again.. I don't know what happened to the sound... After looking at the 8mm (the clip I posted was off my digital camera.) it does look a hair fast???
No smoke... we might check a few things.. but I think he might be using about all the little pump has..
Its basically an 300/400 twins.. (htt KillerB 64/14 over B2)
Injectors... DDP's size.. Unknown..

Small turbo... flip the manifold..

I'll leave the boost numbers up to NeedMoPower... But I think we'll be looking for a wastegate setup soon... haha...
Bryan

Edit.. the sound worked the second time.. I guess I need to be closer to the truck for the good sounds.. (and keep my mouth shut while taping... )
