West Bend WI hook. 298.2 Feet
Put about 10 feet on 2nd place, 3rd gen dodge that did very well last year in Badger truck pullers association.
3rd place was 279 feet, a customer of mine, that is running my old turbo.
I'll post videos of 2nd & 3rd place later.

Thanks to my GF Le Rae for videoing and the helping until 2AM Saturday morning, Garrett W (who also participated in the 2AM skit) ., & Joe K. of Joker Performance for all the help!

 

Ouch. That looks like a lot of strain on the tranny trying to get the boost up and launch on it. Very impressive.

 

Building up boost took a little bit but I think that was SWEET!!! You put together a very good motor dude, once the boost is on it smokes less than it used to but rips twice as hard! Very good job dude! I can't wait until I have the money to get mine there

 

I'm almost positive the long spool time will be fixed with a little star-wheel adjustment.... It was spooling up earlier in the day much easier, but it was about to rain so it was REALLY humid when I went to hook..

Thanks for the compliments!

Now for some more tuning... more fuel is on the way

 

More fuel?? Holy crap-ola, are you going to take a DeWalt drill to the injectors or something? lol How much boost was it churning down the track? EGT's? PM me if you want to keep it a secret Looked awesome though man!

 

boost problem is now fixed, he was spooling the turbo with the waste gate unhooked. should have pics on here of how well it spooled on the black top, rear tires are now broke in.

 

Looks and sounds like a mean machine
when I get mine done I hope it hooks
just as well as yours does.

 

Hey question for you guys who sledpull...

When you're at the end of your pull I notice that you gave it a few revs and let it wind down, I assume to keep the turbo from barking too bad? It sure sounded like you had an auto, so with one really quick motion do you just put it in neutral but still keep it from overrevving or what? Just curious, great job on the truck!

 

Garrett,
You got to get that thing to spool faster.

See you in Franklin!

 

hows that thing drive on the street with normal cruising around?

 

truck drives better then you would think, just don't use the throttel. turbo is really leggy but not that bad

 

Looks good Garrett. Have u talked to Dave about maybe building a looser converter for ya?
