Everytime I think I'm catching up you guys get faster lol. Another congrats Mike.

 

LOL! I'm lucky to have great friends to help push me along. I've been keeping an eye on you Pete, every time I turn around you're getting faster and faster.

 

lol not as much as you guys. I finally jumped up to some 240hp injectors and I'm working on a bigger bottom charger. I was looking forward to my trip out to NC in a few days but unfortunetley my school seat was denied. I cant wait to get back ou there with all of you. This is the kind of motivation I need to get back in it.

 

Pete:

Good to hear from you buddy!

Yeah, Mike is definitely "knocking on the door" of the 11's and I think shortly he will be there. As I said above, he has come a LONG way.

 

Lookin' good Mike!!

 

Thanks Phil!

 

How do you manage to run such a clean run with no nitrous? Your turbo/s? clean up well for that fast of truck.

 

After a little bit of searching, i found your 12.1 Pass Mike!

WAY TO GO MIKEYOH!! Good Run I noticed not a lot of smoke...What's Up? You puttin lot's of air in there? You must have the power to turn 12.1 Compared to oo powerstroke you were pretty clean, I didn't see all the exhaust due to the wall. I wish i could'a been there but i had a hay field to cut, what a mess. Again congratulations hope to get with ya'all soon maybe OBX. Augie

 

Thanks for finding that video Brian, you're the man!

To answer some questions. I run on fuel only, no nitrous or water/meth. VP44's are pretty sensitive to the size of injector you can run, in my opinion. My truck has over 170,000 miles on it now. I replaced my original vp at around 96,000 so my current vp44 has around 75,000 miles and the pump has never ran without a wire tap box. With that said, I've done nothing new here, people have run into the 11's with a vp44. I'm just happy to be getting close to a 12.0.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. It's nice to know some people are still interested to see what a regular vp44 can do.

 

Nice run Mike!! Im getting close to you guys in my Ford. Not 00PowerStroke fast but on my way. After the event was over I decided to take the truck down the track a few times:

1st run RT.366
1/8 9.845
1/4 15.5
2nd run RT .546
1/8 9.930
1/4 15.649
3rd run RT .076
1/8 9.827
1/4 15.533

Consistent, but still have a little way to go.

Good runs Dan.

Hey what happened to you on Saturday anyway?? I don't think we saw you once after you and your Wife stopped by before the event started.

 

I was close...dang close.

Mike: that is one fast truck!!! Great work and we'll see you again sometime.

 

Dan, Congrats on your times!

Thanks Nate!

 

Thank you!! We walked by a few times but you guys were pretty busy. No worries though, we had a little BBQ at the camper and little guy was a HUGE pain in the rear. We ended up staying till about 10 ish. He enjoyed his first diesel event though. EXCELLENT time though!!!!
