It was a load cell dynojet, that's why the turbos sound that way. I'd guess that it's uncorrected numbers since the corrected numbers for Indiana yesterday would have been negative with the frigid cold.

brnaodn.

 

Getting the torque up to more than twice the HP on a Dmax is tricky. I have a bunch of tunes that all dyno with in 20hp of each other. But torque is all over. I am talking a range of 250ft/lbs. To much or to little fuel or timing before 2000rpm really effects torque without effecting the horsepower so much. I took me a lot of dyno time and mostly dumb luck to get my torque up where I wanted it. The trouble is the turbo. Getting it lit but not overfueling is not easy. Every truck is different. My tune on another truck may not run as strong. That is the trouble with "canned" tuning. It was done on someone elses truck. IMHO the Dmax can and will make big torque. It just takes real solid tuning tailored for your truck.

 

It's the same with any engine...a 12v with lotsa timing and BIG turbo's will normally make less torque than one with smaller chargers or less timing!

I'll agree with you though, it's all in the tuning!

Eric Merchant told me of the numbers before I could get my foot out of the truck this past weekend at Suncoast. I am very happy for those guys they worked VERY hard to get there. The Stuckey truck could only muster 956ish on the bottle this weekend, that got anyone scared?

 

eh not really. Madsen's engine is all stock with the exception of lower compression pistons.

Nasty Girl has quite a few internal mods.

 

just wanted to say thanks for being a gentlemen, any other person would have ran with that and say oh the DMAX is king now, and that cummins has all this catching up to do. thanks for being a nice guy well in my eyes at least. got to give credit where credit is due.

 

He is from the Hat eh, Do you know if he ever goes to the drag races there? I was to the drag races there back in may , but there was only one D max running , only diesel running infact , and it was a red dually.

 

Instead of Hijacking the thread, try the PM system..


Good work. Man I don't care how you do it, but 1000 Hp on #2 only is a pretty elite club. The ability of building your own tunes with EFI Live just amazes me. Ford puts in stop-blocks in their ECM to catch downloaders and GM leaves it wide open for anyone with a laptop to tune... Crazy...

Don M injectors to boot, very nice.

 

I do agree. The CTD will make more torque at the same HP if tuned correctly.

 

LOL, can you imagine TWICE the Power that we had on our trip to Red Deer?

It was fun with what we had, I cannot imagine what 2x the HP would be like to drive.

 

hey littledog just trying to ask a question. I didnt hijack anything. But I deleted the question, since its such a big deal.

 

No big deal man... You just would get a faster response with a direct PM. With 5 pages of posts its gonna get lost real fast. Not intending to offend..


GJ,

I couldn't see how 2X the power would be driveable, let alone in a 2WD... Thats just nutz. Mind you the engine is FAARRRRR from stock..

 

Wouldnt mind seeing that thing on a sled! Wonder how she would hold up!?!!

 

I wonder how motor he's gone thru to put up those kinda numbers? It would be interesting to see how well it holds together.

 

It seems to me that after all the internal mods (pistons, rods, cam, block girdle, head mods etc. etc.) the heads are going to be the weakest link. The last runs reported glycol boiling out and they found that the injectors were lifting out of their cup bores in the head. Some were saying that another clip will hold it, but I seem to think that the high internal pressures are putting that Aluminum into its limits for strength. Now before all the bricks start flying about the Nitromethane dragsters using aluminum, true, but they only last about 10 seconds.

As far as how long it lasts, who knows. Kinda cool to have a Canadian flag on it, not to mention from good ol Alberta.
