First pass a -12an fitting on the Waterman lift pump vibrated loose spraying fuel everywhere. Also had a turbo drain fitting come loose from the block and spray a little oil from escaping crank case pressure.



Second pass the RPM trigger on the controller for the shift noid acted up and short shifted the truck. It also had some violent torque steer at the hit.



Third pass, the tierod bent down several inches presumably at the hit and truck went violently toward the wall, popped the Hoosier Quicktime Pro tire off the passenger front bead and Todd narrowly missed the wall. The rim scratch path on the track came within inches of the wall.... great save!!!



We got some data, fixed a few gremlins, had great success with the transbrake setup on both trucks and it was a great test n tune.... for UCC!



Probably need to upgrade the tierod assembly, beadlocks or similar for the front tires, maybe a few other upgrades! What's neat is we were able to spool up fuel-only with the DPC slut converter despite the large GTX55 on the manifold fed by 2 more GTX55's. We decreased the engine displacement, cam size, and War Head flow a bit on the new engine setup, but still making excellent power!

Pictures of the setup? Sounds like enough air for stupid power
