HOOKED

Im glad im not the only one scratching my head over this.... Dosent happen that often. and if it does you dont hear about it.

What's the part number for that tach? Is it 553 716? It will probably be the end of the week before i get the pump off and who knows when Hart's will get to it.

Maybe i should put a reliable vp-44 on my truck?

Ground Shaker

Are you sure it was the pump? What happened exactly? A 553 pump is a 180hp pump if i remember right? or is that a 150? You could have some problems with it but I doubt it will be anything major.

Ground Shaker

Yea, and money grows on trees....

Shaker he has a BAD pump thats all im going to say! I will let Smokin go into more detail if he likes.

It's the 8080 tach. I've really been happy with it works like a champ. Retails for about $150, has a recall for the highest rpm, back lit with different colors and comes with a shift light, which I use more like a launch light. Hooked it to the signal wire on the crank trigger and it worked right out of the box. Pretty slick.

EDIT: Comes with a sticker too, and depending on placement could result in an extra 20-50 hp easy...

uh...... no

Ground Shaker

Well I guess you will need to get that looked into. I'm still a little scared the VP44 even came up even though its about all I run.... I'm deranged!

is your truck the one they "attepted" to drag backwards down the track...while the retarded announcer mocked???

If so...i would have paid the announcer a visit for being obnoxious...he also went on and on about the trucks being slow to the sled...and had the guts to threaten not to have them back next year, when he has absolutely no say at all...

sorry guys, had to get that out...if i would have had any kind of weapon capable of shooting 300 ft i would have taken the announcer out...lol

Yep that was me, i had no control to steer the truck. It just went where it wanted to, i needed the front end picked up with a backhoe instead of being draged all over the place while looking like a dumbass that could't stear a truck backwards. As for the injection pump, Hart's said the rack was probably stuck, they said i might be able to pry it loose or i would have to take it to them to be fixed if not. If i have to take it off, i'm going to get the ag. gov. switched to an automotive gov. As for the tach, the local O'Reilly's store had one in stock. I hassel with O'Reilly's all day TRYING to get parts and this time they actually had something besides wax and oil.

Ground Shaker

If the rack is stuck I would not try starting it although it sounds like your going to take it off anyways. Had a guy try that once adn the engine ran away from him.... He thought a playboy over the intake would stop it, I just looked at all the confeddy when he tried it. The gov should not be affecting the rack travel if it is mounted accordingly. Sounds like you had one heck of a tiem at the pulls though.

Does anyone have a video of the pulls over at the state fair? I was wanting to see Justin stick the weights in the dirt.

CTDYoungGun

i have both the trucks in the pull-off...but none of them sticking the weights in the dirt pile...

I have the morning session on tape, my dv capture card is out of the box right now, I'll get it captured but it'll take a while to get it captured, compiled and uploaded.
