Perfect for a diesel conversion engine swap! This is a 2002 LB7 Duramax diesel engine, complete with dash cluster, stereo, steering wheel/column, and what appears to be every electrical harness off of the donor truck. About the only things I can see that are missing from the engine are the...

After talking to a few people using our standalone USB datalogger, I learned I am not the only one who keeps forgetting to press the start button before a run! Another issue can happen if the truck dies an needs to be restarted just before the pass, or if there is an oildown and the track...

HPIM1250.mp4 video by mrdragster1970 - Photobucket Triple turbo, I saw it with my own eyes, I SWEAR!!! - Yellow Bullet Forums Is this Keating Shelley's new car? I've only seen it once and can't remember details.

Hopefully this doesn't come across as being an attention *****, but I figured I would post about a mainstream drag racing online magazine doing an article about my diesel race truck build. The author saw me post about it on YB, then PM'ed me with some additional questions for his article. A...

I'll be running a lower-compression LBZ in my new race truck. Just curious if anybody still runs glow plugs to try to get one started, as opposed to using lots of cans of ether. My biggest issue is that my only crewmember is usually my 9-year-old daughter, and she is not yet a certified ether...

Just a reminder that aside from renewing as the Official Gauge of the NHRDA, and the sponsor of the Pacific Coast Diesel Nationals, we are stepping up as a contingency sponsor this year. If you don't already have them in your truck you will be racing, now would be a good time to add ISSPRO...

Are you tired of spilling quarts of transmission fluid all over your truck and yourself just to install a transmission temperature gauge? Did you try one of the existing "hose clamp" products and find that it doesn't report temperatures anywhere close to the actual temperatures? Or perhaps you...

rob just ran that @ Boise, density altitude about 4300, fuel only!!!

I posted it in the ISSPRO forum so I can keep editing photos and stuff beyond the normal "deadline". LOL, then I can also be my own moderator if anyone starts trash talking ;) New Pro Stock Diesel build - 2 D Max - Competition Diesel.Com - Bringing The BEST Together I'll be interested in...

I will probably live to regret this, but I have taken delivery of a tube chassis truck that I intend to build into a diesel Pro Stock truck. Some of you may recognize the chassis as the one the Max'd Out team bought earlier this year. We reviewed the chassis with an NHRA chassis...

I was reading page 16 of the 2011 NADM Drag Racing rulebook, and it states: Since the 25.4 spec is for 7.50-8.49 ETs with max weight of 3600 lbs, presumably an alternate but appropriate spec (such as 25.2, 7.49 & quicker for a max 3200 lb truck) is acceptable? And I assume it's a typo to...

Durmax Chevelle! - Topic Thought you guys would get a kick out of the reactions...

At the recent NADM/Diesel Specialists race in Orlando we ended up with a very slippery track first round, especially in the left lane. Granted, it was VERY cold for that area (and probably beyond anything the local track crew has had to prep for), but we ended up with a track that seemed more...

We are getting ready to launch the new ISSPRO Performax Stand-alone Datalogger (which will allow datalogging without having the PC in the truck). We are going to include a USB drive with the datalogger (complete with ISSPRO logo), and we need to pick from a few options for the drive. Here is a...
