Ardmore drag strip on the 21st. I'll leave it up to RowJ to furnish the details on the track.

Since I'm not sure I'll make it, the camping area at the track may be a better option than The Ranch.

 

Probably won't make this one. My riding partner has a blank permission slip for the weekend. We are taking the ATV's and a tent and hitting the trail somewhere where there is a river we can jump in and cool off.

If plans change though, I would like to head up there. Hopefully my new CSS springs will be here by then (Thanks for the dent in my wallet RJ).

I'd like to go with you, but my ATV service is not finished......

 

I'm out. Going to be on the lake down in Marble Falls that weekend...

 

New owner so will have to check into camping there. It's just a one day "Fun Drags" event.
No local series, bracket racing going on that weekend so I suspect they will be shutting down Sat night?

Fun Drags- Gates open at 6 pm.........Racing starts at 7 pm till 10 pm (?)..... maybe 11 (?).

looking forward to it.... maybe my times will be better. 14.5-15.5 is my guess but i have NO CLUE, just a guess.

cost to run?

 

I'm drawing a blank on what we paid in past. Either 15.00 or $20.00 for as many runs as you want! I remember spectators are $7.50...if that helps
Contact Will Carrell and ask!

Question on the Twins testing (Very impressive by the way!!) What power level on pulse were readings taken?

Over the next week or so I would like to perform the same test with mine.. expecting much higher temps with HX35 and stock intercooler...


By the way... truck seems much quieter now... Looks a bit different as well

 

Thanks!
All testing done on ADR2000 at PL05. BUT, I believe it won't make any difference. Higher setting=less throttle to maintain same boost.....No?
I played with different PL settings on 20 psi boost testing and saw no real difference in temps. Did not get scientific about it so...may be wrong??

To do apples to apples, can you set Coolmist to initiate at 20 psi, with max injection pressure at 40 psi?

Very curious to see if Cummins IAT reads different than my having egt probe 3" downstream of H2O/Mwth injectors!
That is if Quad ever gives us the software that is being shipped to full paying customers that purchase now!

Back to 'Stealth Look'......huh?

 

i just heard about this over the airwaves..

""here is the information on the dyno day. it is the 28th of june at DR PERFORMANCE. we are gonna have food and drink available, it will be 3 runs on the dyno for $50. start at 8 am run til we have no one that wants to dyno or it becomes sunday. we want it huge and a big blowout. ""

this is the address

Dr. Performance
2217 Old Dennis Road
Weatherford, TX 76087


i heard this from CBrahs, the highdesert ravelco guy.

dr. P will be in kennedale track while were all in ardemore.


BNold, did you get rid of the stacks?

 

Yep she looks like a work truck now! Kinda like it! I'll be ready for these treads to wear out sometime this winter so I can get a decent AT probably on there... no larger than 285 though... Towing is just SOOOOoooo much nicer with the smaller tire.



More questions about testing... How long did you run each test? You said til the reading settled, but I know at 50psi my temp is never gonig to settle! it will just keep climbing til I back out of it... so by settle do you mean slow down? Like 10secs? 20 secs? at given boost? How much time between runs? Have to imagine there is a fair amount of CAC heat soak... Heck after a hard run I can idle the truck for 5 mins and still not get the primary to secondary temps under 140*!!

Assuming truck is at full operating temp? As well as oil? figure heak soak from radiator and motor into CAC may be worth some temp as well?

Just curious want the best comparison possible...

 

Settled fine at 20,30,40 psi.
For 50 psi...around 100, it would slow, than start to back track....readings would jump back and forth few degrees. I just listed higher number at that time. Starting from abound 20 mph, in lower gear, worked well.
Heat soak not a problem, IMO. I agree about high temps at idle, but start moving slowly and it drops back down quickly. Maybe my heat shield makes big difference.... or maybe my Scotty II cowl hole is magic. I did have to exit Hwy 75 and drive back down the hill (about 2 miles between exits).... so that helped. All tests were done up a slight grade as all level areas here are heavily patrolled.

Maybe, but my primary awareness was how quickly the CAC cools the IAT air down....once you start moving. Based on our EGT comparisons, I would guess my Hasiley CAC is no major advantage. But it may shine better in this test??

Cool.. Hopefully I can get some testing done this weekend around the indy race!
