Gather around, uncle Ryan's going to tell y'all a story...
There I was, with a 3 letter agency fine hanging over my head, bills piling up, all that fun stuff and I had an interested party in my beloved 1966 Chevy II that was definitely in it's prime - Sweet 16 Recap. It was time for it to go...
I'd like to start off with the fact that I had an awesome weekend, couldn't ask for better company and was honored to be finally sitting in the staging lanes with the PS field at TS! Also a congrats is in order for Sam Smith on his win in the PS class, its been a long time coming and well...
Where would a Diesel Pro Street truck, as we know it, fit in at an NHRA event?
Super Gas? 9.90 Index essentially... :rules:

This
Then this
I wanted this
So I bought this
And this
Then this and this happened
And now we're here
Engine/trans/turbos will be same as the ones from my 4x4 SS truck that's now retired after a black eye from the wall, dropping into a new chassis with a few updates. SS...

After breaking the dyno at the fire punk dirt drags on Labor Day we strapped it down in michigan on Dan Clark's dyno...I'm happy with it!

I've got ten days to get this thing plumbed and wired before the Big Sky Diesel Nationals out here in Billings MT where it's supposed to make it's debut!
To say I'm excited to pilot this thing is a major understatement...
Anyone tried to run 10's with a 68RFE? It's taken me a year and a half so far but I finally squeezed a 10 out of it tonight while doing one of my licensing passes here in Indy. I'm sure it'll take me another 6 months to knock out the two 9 second passes I'll need to complete the licensing...
My ears are still ringing and we did this yesterday afternoon! In an effort to get Brad's single GT55 to come all the way alive we've spent two days of fine tuning the ECM and chasing boost leaks. We got it to a point where we thought those two things were as good as they were going to get and...
Tomorrow - April 25th - Breaking Point 2
These guys are going to try and blow up an LML duramax on purpose on the dyno tomorrow on live feed HD video. The last one was a 6.7 Ford That made 800+hp on stock internals and never broke, I'm expecting this one to make an oily mess on the floor. Two...
Who will be there?!?! Dmitri is supposedly picking me up in his red sled from the airport tomorrow, staying at the Aria with SunCoast crew... not leaving until Thursday! 8509103823, why haven't you texted me yet? :Cheer:
we're calling it ProLoc... it's nice to be able to hear RPM change on the 1-4 shifts for a change!

No lights/et due to approaching thunderstorm but I managed to get in one pass with the isspro and efi data logs rolling before the skies broke open :bang
On the log it took me 7.4 seconds to get to 90mph so I'm assuming my 1/8 time was around there somewhere, with a 3.6 sec 0-60mph time.
Still...
We've run into a supply/demand issue at the shop and can't seem to get our core returns back fast enough so we need to invest in a few more to add to the stack. We're looking for 68RFE's cores, they can be smoked/broken but the case needs to be intact. Email Ryan@suncoastdiesel.com with what...
Let's say I had this mythical 5 speed creature with a 1.83 first gear and a .62 overdrive... hypothetically speaking of course
1-2 is a 700rpm drop
2-3 is a 900rpm drop
3-4 is a 550rpm drop
4-5 is a 700rpm drop
With my 3.73 gears and 32" tires, in a perfect world, on the salt flats, with an...
This is a 3 month old 5.9 style stage 3.5 (10mm) CP3. I got this from John@FloorIt in early march, while he worked over my Stg4, it's been 11.70 in my 4 door truck and was recently transplanted in my 2 door for the TS Outlaw races where it ran extremely consistant 12.41's (68rfe w/no lockup..)...
March 29th:
With the help of SunCoast, Fleece, FloorIt, AirDog, Hamilton Cams, OldSkoolFab, Phils Photos, my awesome wife and 45 days of late night zombie labor at the shop...
See you guys at TS :)
