Just have to see they cant pull in too tall of a gear so ground speed wont be much off of anyone else due to RPM limit on the 3rd gen.

 

I'm thinking you're thinking pre-smarty. Mine's pulling quite a ways past the old 3200 RPM limit after the smarty

 

You sure about that?

 

Yes i have a smarty as well and it still is limited on RPM... Maybe Marco will figure out how to unlock it... Until them i wouldnt hold my breath on the 3rd gen's being on top...Dont get me wrong they run good but i know for a fact that i 3rd get is not going to be running with a 5500 to 6500 RPM 12 Valve...

 

Luken, SHHHHHHH Don't tell them that.

 

I dont exactly follow that statement?

Are you saying you have to pull in 2hi since you are limited on the rpm?

HOOKED, can you run with those guys you mentioned?

 

Yes thats what i am saying plus i worded it worded it wrong!! Im not the greatest typer ! IM simpily saying that that if the 3rd gen could pump out more rpm this would get you a higher ground speed making them more competitive...

 

More competitive hell....They would be on top then!! (dont get me wrong I want more rpm's!!)

They are already competitive....Brad and Kevin only got me by 2' at Scheids and thats with my truck hanging less weight and not even having a locker up front (but they still got me no doubt!).
Another 3rd genner on here named Justing Bowling (WFO) was only behind those guys by 1'.

Heck the truck that won on Friday at Scheids was a truck that I have put 5' at another pull about 2 weeks before that pull took place.

3rd gens can do it. It just takes some work. People assume they can't compete just because there are no good ones they have seen pull yet.

 

And yes i have been running with them for a while now..Satburn can second that... Jeff Strothkamp finished 7th as Scheids and three weeks ago i laid 13ft on him in Russelville MO..We are doing alot of test and tune stuff,trying to work out all the bugs you know what im talking about!!

 

Your getting me wrong i have a 3rd gen also i would love to have them at the top!! Doesnt matter to me!! I will build whatever it takes to win.. 12v 24v or CR ... Im not looking for a Pissing match here im just saying one thing these guys are bragging there trucks up why cant the just show up and prove it..

 

I read ya....loud and clear!

Just wanted to know your angle on things...

 

He's closer than I am that's for sure. Russellville was impressive, your truck has really come around (not to say it wasn't before, just I can draw a pretty good line on when I noticed some "changes", lol). I wish I had more time to work out this new setup on mine, but we did a little more welding last night and a little more tonight.

Hopefully I can get this poor ol' 12v to roll a little farther and a little faster.

 

Hang in there Satburn it will come around!! I will help you out with anything you need just let me know!!

 

Who all is going to Eldon on Saturday?

 

I will be there for sure !!
