5.9 mud racer

Wow. Check out the other video with him racing in an event.. He does ok on the front straight, then freakin' blows 'em away on the back stretch, holy cow.

it was on speed a while ago, I just saw the new video and it looks like he has been busy.

Listen to the kid after he runs.
 
That guy has a real neat White Ford with a 5.9l and a 5r110......The one I built! He is a super nice guy.
 
I am glad to know that you all like my little experiment. I am loving your comments. YES several of you are correct...my biggest problem is my EGTs. I am running between 2000-2100 degrees as per my graphs and data readings. And just looking at my engine after a race, I have to think my specs are correct. If any of you have any suggestions I am all ears! I melted pretty good at my last race (did not put that footage on Youtube).

Like the other guy said more air and possibly a water injection system. Or could you run twins? not sure what you have for a set up. Always thought that would be fun to do and show up some gas guy!! Not sure where your located at but we have a mud drags and mud bog races here in northern IL. The place is called the bike barn in Fenton IL. But anyways nice truck man and keep kickin the crap out of the gas guys!!!!:bow::tree:
 
Wow...so many responses. I sure appreciate all the interest in what I am doing here. Glad you folks are willing to help. A little info about the engine, I have P7100 with 13m injector pumps, I don't know ALOT about the turbo except its a single large turbo with a 60m waste gate. And answer to your question "smokin5.9", I do have a water injection system installed but the engine doesn't like it for some reason. Something else I forgot to mention is that I am running NOS in this truck (get it as cold as I can get the bottles before each race). I am afraid the dual turbo is probably out of the question because the AMRA is scratching their heads on weather I can race or not. Alot of other drivers are complaining because the AMRA are not allowing turbos on the gas/alcohol trucks.
Which is what "Not Enoughsmoke" was talking about with me swapping engines (I am very impressed you remember me telling you about that.) I did that engine swap because AMRA could not decide if they were going to let me race or not. Heck not going to build a 30k motor just to have them let me run it once and say "no more". So I pulled my pulling motor and ran it and THAT is the one you see on the Speed channel video. There were alot of gas/alcohol racers upset before I ran that race, but it was so amazing to see, that AMRA could not deny its popularity...(did you notice they interviewed me after the race and not the guy who won the race, ha ha). And the fact that I lost stopped alot of the complaining.
I do have my pull truck ready and plan on coming up to Sugar Shack and really wanting to try and make it to one of "toobadq"'s pulls. Its tough for me to make it with work though, "smokin5.9" I am located in the very bottom of Arkansas, my shop is a mile from Louisiana state line. So its quite a drive, but so worth it to run with you folks.

Thanks again for all of your support

Sucks about the turbo's.. Gonna just have make up for that in airflow (head/cam) if you haven't already.

As far as the nitrous,, If you are cooling the bottles, I think that's exactly the opposite of what you want to do with them. You should be heating them up for maximum pressure....
