how close has anyone here came to the 800hp Wicked's pump advertises ?
Were did you get this formula from? If that is right than i should be at 834hp. I think cutting your formula in half is more like my real rwhp and then it would be about 724.
I am going by what the experts have told me over the years with our heavy trucks the 10hp per 1 mph doesn't apply so it takes 20hp or so to increase 1/4 mph by 1. I am not much for calculators but I never dynoed pre modded pump/post modded pump
I should have crunched a few more numbers. Actually this is pretty close. I dynoed at 544hp with stock turbo and cp3 and ran 12.95 at 102. I ran 11.94 at 113mph this year. I guessed that i was around 720ish rwhp. This calculates to about 764 so it is pretty close really.
I have installed and tuned both and can get either one. I have had good luck with both but comparing the 2 I would have to say that the Floor It Stage 3's I've tuned hold better rail than the Wicked Stage 3 - and Justin has a Mitusa feeding his. The pumps out of my truck are at Floor It right now....
John had some health issues that screwed things up for him at the shop for a while but is back at it building great pumps. He is also changing his sales structure to have only a handful distributors and have his website and phone refer customers to them. Right now he spends 80% of his time on the phone and emails answering questions for people, most of which won't even be buying a pump in the next year but just want to talk about it. The dealers he has chosen or is choosing to do this are ones that he knows will be able to answer the technical questions about his products and sell the most of them - no more "Jimbob's Diesel" calling to become a "dealer" only to get a better deal on his own pump. It will allow John to get back in the shop doing what he does best and getting pumps out much faster.
The % over claims that II makes are sorta goofy.... in reality if a pump was 600% over vs. A pump that is 20% over and they both maintained the same rail pressure the percent over is irrelevant
I could get a brand new stage 1 pump from a local guy for 1200, or a stage 3 for another 700. He said the stage one would be around 42% and the big one would put me closer to duel cp3s, just not there. But no single pump will ever be the same as duels as far as performance. and should both work great for 60 overs. These pumps are non stroker pumps so they should last quite abit longer than Wicked or Floor its modified pumps. Hmmm
Don't believe everything you hear look to real world before and after. Jim from Upstate Diesel went 11.77 on a S472 and shanes pump. If it really matters Shane said his stage 3 pump is 80% over but like I said that means nothing all that matters is rail pressure
They've been run on the best flow benches available & on competition trucks at a very high level. :thumb:
