You guys really want to know?
$7000 just for the turbo, its a custom built compressor impeller. I'm working a deal to see if I can get abit of a break on the price and more engineering specs next week. Its a monster turbo, but spins so easy. They have some S510-95 available for alot less $$$, I probably can get one of those pretty easy. I should have brought my camera. They where pretty impressed with those twin pictures of the S475 over the S510-95 that we trying to get Kev to put onto his truck, I wish that I could find that thread again. The S510 is pretty big turbo, I bet its almost 1/3 the size of the motor. I think that they have a few that are used that are available, that I could get for a decent price.

Hey, I didn't know if you guys knew this or not. Malcolm Cross was on "pinks all out". Man, I'm so out of touch. Pinks is one of my favorite shows on tv and "all out" is the coolest part of pinks.

That truck was moving, I kinda wonder if the same thing happen to you Kev. Lucky, you have 4wd truck. I haven't seen Malcolm truck for a few years, but sure is a hard running ride.

He is well over 140 mph with that beast. I think that he could use some help in the HP dept, works a little to close with BD Diesel, I think that really handicaps him there

Knowing Malcolm, its going to run hard. I remember seeing him at the BD events back 6 to 7 years ago. He always had the biggest HP truck, when did he go with the common rail? Back when everyone struggled to get to 500rwhp, he was over 600rwhp.

A buddy of mine was over last night, and he was saying there is a shop in Strathmore called "Fuel" and they just recently had a dyno installed. Maybe it is worth a shot giving them a call?

I bet Malcolm will right at 4500 lbs and will have a killer 60ft. Of course more fuel will help to run down the track, but...the sometimes that will hurt you than help. I still don't know why they adjusted the catergories around so much for the NHDRA this year. You know that dyno, don't tell you everything.

Did anyone watch the entire show for his run? Being all out, they probably had to dial in at the 9.90 class. Cool to see a diesel, running against the gasers, but its about time.

Did you guys know that Calgary has a May 29,30 NHRDA event. I just got off the phone to find some track info. They could open late April or early May, for Secert Street time trials.
