So now I think it is not going to happen, I'd rather build a truck for our 8500 kg pulling class, can do the complete truck with the money they spend to fuelsystem alone.
If I understand correctly, A-class is too much competition and B-class isn't enough? Why don't you enter b-class to show the world how superior vulva is?

The dyno gave false readings on doodles run because it takes gear ratio into account and become part of its calulation, so when a parameter is changed on the truck and not in dyno software it gives higher numbers.

Truck engine dyno test are done by hold truck at 55-60mph and then load is slowly increased, for a dyno day this would be stupidly time consuming.

Your theory is busted when the current HP per discplacent record at Antrim’s was done with 4.17 gears...

B class is charger limited, you claim to be able to make more HP than anyone in North America with the same size charger so that should be right up your alley.

You guys don’t understand, the Volvo is a superior engine. It’s just no one in North America has figured this out.

Do they even offer the D16 over here anymore?

Our driver was all cranked up to get a 600hp D16 before we bought the 389 Glider...truckstop moneys and the Truckin Bozo had him convinced it would get 6mpg all the time and haul like no other.

We told him he'd never get a Volvo unless he bought it, and ordered his Glider. I think he's happy...

Would a ceramic ball bearing turbo even live in a diesel application?

I'm doing more gasoline tuning now and one customer wants to buy a "pro mod" turbo from precision.

They do not do well in diesel applications. Ask an SDP Cat owner or an LEE Cat owner how they work out. The need for them isn't there. The misconception that they spool quicker is why people use them at all. Turbochargers are one of the only applications where somebody thought ball bearings and 100,000 RPM was a good idea. Every other high speed application uses things like air foil bearings or oil supported bearings (ie journal bearings found in turbochargers). Ball bearings are used in some very very small applications that spin that fast but nothing as large as the bearings used in turbochargers. The larger the bearing the high the surface speed is on the ball to maintain a given RPM.
