Ahh. Figured yall were out having fun. Brian's truck is definately nothing to sneeze at. I'd be curious to see how his truck handles a set of injectors as big as mine. Looks like I missed a lot of fun after I left.

Robert, I've got your tow strap wrapped up and sitting in my toolbox. Let me know if you want me to ship it to you or just wait till the next time that I see ya.

Blue you might want to hang on to that thing so your BCS buddies can tow you to the next dyno!

With the way the pump is going I might need someone to tow me just to make it up the hills.

Thanks for the video's, needed to see and hear it! BOTW, the Water/Meth never came on, seems I had a broken wire......should have been close to 9 if not there, live and learn.

OOH, Dan - be careful!

Even you could get banned for that kind of talk...

It's true that Robert & I are single (in the charger department, that is) - but we hope to score a nice set of twins someday!

Man I don't care who you ask blowing a boot is always scary!!! My second time now with twins and it still scared the poo out of me! Was a fun run though .....

Can't believe Tyler had to drop into 4 low to pull that little ity bitty tractor Autos... j/k Tyler!!


Well now that I am so confused about my Dyno runs water/meth Smarty TST settings I think I need to hook up the wires for my water/meth injection light and my low fluid level!!
So 2nd gen wise am I the only one who dynos better with a higher Smarty number to get things moving?? I know I'm not the only one to lose power on TST 9... What about water/meth... Seems I'm the first person I know in the diesel world to not gain anything injecting and maybe even losing power with water as my highest run may or may not of had any water/meth in the tank???

Well, 1st you've got to make sure the tank is filled; how high were your EGTs when the auxiliary injection event began to ramp up?

Brian I didn't notice any power gain on my last run when I sprayed water/meth.

I don't know about dynoing, but I get better 1/4 times with Smarty on #3 (spools quicker... and still gets to max "Smart-Power").

In past I have always saved H2O/Meth and #9 for last pull on the dyno....and always gained HP??
This weekend I had H2O/Meth on for all three and went 5,7,9 on TST Comp. #7 was highers # by 20 hp? AND my #'s were down from previous Dynojet run so.........????

I repeat my theory.... Dynos are for relative changes in set up and not for absolute power readout; only the ET at the track will tell you what setup is stronger and faster.

OK.... moving to new thread!
