I plan on being there with $50 in hand.

 

Undecided at this point.

Truck is running strong again. (I cannot believe how dirty that fuel filter was in less than 6 months.)

Only recent change is adding Tweaker's TAG. Got a big wish list, but may have other motorsports needs for next year.

I am really hoping to make it to the event. I still havent gotten my nozzles installed and was wondering if anyone can help me with this. After I get them installed I am pretty sure my clutch will be slipping pretty good. Will it even be worth it to put it on the dyno if it is slipping?

 

As was brought up on the TDR....The rollers on the dyno are only 4,000lbs rollers. Much less stress than what your truck does on the road. Your clutch will probably hold on the rollers even if it won't hold on the street.

Count me in then. Now I just need some info on the area so I can find a place to stay. If someone knows of a hotel or something in the area, please pm me. I think I am going to take my truck to the cummins shop and get my nozzles installed. I leave all my tools at work overnight, and I really dont want to bring them all home and take them back several times. I probably would if I knew I could get it done in 1 night, but since I have never done this before I'm sure it will take longer. Again, if anyone can help me install them it would be a huge help. Thanks and I look forward to seeing everyone at the event.

 

Joe it is real easy to get there. If you still have my cell phone number give me a call. Got to ask, did you buy injectors or just tips? If they are injectors I can come over this Sunday and give you a hand. Otherwise if you have tips to install on your injectors, if you can get the tips on, I can come out next Friday night or anytime after that next weekend. If you plan on changing out injectors at the dnyo meet I may be busy doing a VP swap, I am sure somebody can guide ya through. Later Jim.

Josh I just looked at his truck, he has training wheels, or does he, sig and gallery doesn't match description. Joe just meaning that Josh I am sure is going to be busy taking off the outside wheels so the dually's can play on the rollers. No biggie.

 

I just got the nozzles, not the full injector. These will go on my stock injectors wont they? I dont have any cores so they will be going on the injectors that are in the truck now. Are there any advantages to running the nozzles on RV275's? The pic in my gallery is a truck that I am in the process of buying.

 

I'm going to try and make it. If I do come down I'll help you put the nozzles in there. I had mine done in under 2 hours. It's pretty easy. I've got some good directions if you want them.

 

How's it work with someone else driving your truck? I know that I might be inclinded to push it a little further into the red. Do they let you drive your own truck or is it a liability issue?

 

I think the bottom line is that their guys are just plain better at it than we are. They are able to get a good, clean, powerfull run laid down faster and easier that a novice is able to. I'm sure if you asked them to "get on it" harder, they would give you what you wanted.

 

Brian will ask you how far he can push it. Someone last year had a 4kGSK and said to run it to 4k. Brian looked at the tach and said, "umm..you sure 3k is redline?" After he was told the valve springs and injection pump had been modified, he had no problem running it all the way up.

They are Very good at getting GOOD numbers out of our trucks. I have never had anyone complain about the numbers they got, nor have I had someone say they didn't run the truck hard enough.

Although the first time we were there, Bart one of the owners, asked If Scott M on the TDR was scared they were gonna break something on the truck running it that hard. Scotts answer, "You had better be afraid of my truck breaking your Dyno! You can't drive it any harder on the dyno than I do on the street." At that, Bart ran to get a waver. Scott just laughed.

Since then Our group has set the Highist Torque number the shop has ever seen. I FULLY expect that to be broken again this year.

PS, Andy you commin?

 

Sounds great. Thanks for feed back on having them do the runs. It does make sense. Now I'll have to look at my schedule to see if I'm free. Do automatic trannys need a lockup switch too?

 

Andy hit a good point. A skilled dyno operator knows how to pull the big numbers. Now that HiTech has a couple years of diesel experience they are really rolling.

The first year, Scott said nail it past 1200 rpm and they required a waiver. After Tim came so close to the 1,000 ft-lb torque level, they realized the potential of a diesel, an in-line diesel that is.

I think so, only an unforseen incident will keep me away.

 

They are not required, but are VERY helpful in getting an accurate dyno reading.
