Left Coast Diesel Sets VP44 Record!

Big thanks to the crew at J&H for a great event (especially the Friday dinner!)

We finally achieved our goal of over 1000HP on a single-charger, VP44-equipped truck. We strapped Adam's truck to the "Humbler" dyno at the event and proceeded to throw down a mid 900HP run. Adam made one small adjustment to the nitrous timing and VIOLA! 1060HP!!

This is the first VP44 truck to hit over 1000HP, and we believe there is still a little more in her. To top it off, the truck is driven daily and was driven to and from the event. And to dinner..

Thanks to all who attended and to our whole gang for the support all weekend! Can't wait for the next event!

We didn't dyno it on fuel only, but it did make a 12.18/120mph pass on fuel only while we were up there.

This is before we lightened it and installed a rear roll pan, but its essentially the same.
