bgilbert 556hp dyno at Scheid Diesel event 2009

Link to video of the 556hp run on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhX0Of4oUGQ

Sorry for the poor quality. I've got another video from a different angle that I'll get posted in a few days.

I'm gonna remove my balancer, completely clean it, paint it, then maybe I'll get a good torque reading. The rpm pickup bounces around so much to get a good reading. At one point on the graph where it read torque/rpm, it was at 1008ftlb's, after peak torque was already made. Listen close at the 23 second mark for the engine to rev up where it went through the South Bend FE clutch. I guess it doesn't hold 1200-1300ftlbs of torque . The HP on the graph was well on it's way to more than 556hp, then it dropped from that point. Oh well, time for an upgrade.

It's fun to drive around town, listening to the two turbos spool. It's scary doing testing out in the country at 85-110mph. I'm pretty sure Josh Ayers is gonna blow right past this 556hp number tomorrow at Scheid's. I'll try to get video.

I am SOOO jealous. Not really. Nice numbers and a very nice truck. I wonder, how much of that soot gets on the side of the bed with the exhaust out in front of the wheel like that.

What more do you need on your truck to become a member of the 600+club? Fantastic numbers and good job on getting to this point. Good luck.
