    January '25 Chat -- Happy New Year!!!

    Technically yes but it is a reservation only setup that is not open to the public and I'm mainly only doing these highend race builds and such.

    I do considering she will be 500-600lbs lighter than before and will have almost twice the Hp on tap as before!

    January '25 Chat -- Happy New Year!!!

    Ol’ girl is getting a serious make over (tons of carbon fiber)and will be back on the track this season with a new driver! It will be lighter and faster than before and we have big goals for her! Here’s a sneak peek of it.

    The first 5 second 1/4mile Diesel pass in history and the technical breakdown on what it took to do it.

    Update on this project. I just finished stripping Paul’s rail down to the chassis so it can go back under the knife to get us an even quicker/faster chassis cert and hopefully it will also help us knock the 60ft down more. My boys just delivered it back to Paul and it goes to the chassis shop...

    January '25 Chat -- Happy New Year!!!

    The last two years(after the 12/2/22 surgery to remove my cancer tumor) I was blood work and CT scan every three months but as of December's checkup I only have to go in for that every 6 months! Cancer sucks but being cancer-free is much better and hits a little different for me these days.

    Injector Limit for Cast Oval Bowl Pistons???

    Honestly not any real world info on the cast iron heads in a street truck that I have even seen or heard of. Everyone I know that tried to get a set of them couldn't even get them. The 9blade turbine, sound and performance is awesome but reliability is yet to be proven good yet. For the...

    Interesting Finds At PRI 2024

    It was good to hang out with you in person again old friend! For what it is worth we are running Wagler billet bridges in Paul's motor with stock rockers and zero issues and spin up to 7200rpms on it. The Mantons are nice but I don't see the value in them honestly.

    The first 5 second 1/4mile Diesel pass in history and the technical breakdown on what it took to do it.

    804ma is the lowest we get in the 1/8th for the pump control so plenty of pump still left. Their high speed pumps are no joke for sure. As far as I know there is no limit for us in the 1/8th just figuring out how to get it down the track. Completely agree on the record stuff, FirePunk was...

    Simplistic more than anything, one less thing to worry about. The weight savings is also part of it.

    The first 5 second 1/4mile Diesel pass in history and the technical breakdown on what it took to do it.

    Ok, so we have the car setup at 7200rpms for the hard limiter currently. Last year we ended the season with it shifting at 6600rpms but this season the data for this new billet engine combo with 460cid wants to be shifted sooner so we keep turning the shift points down and we are currently...

    If any of you are going to PRI then you can see the car in person because we will have it in Wagler's booth! There are also videos of the car on out facebook and instagram pages MTKB Racing.

    The first 5 second 1/4mile Diesel pass in history and the technical breakdown on what it took to do it.

    Hey guys, I figured this deserved it's own thread since it is not only a record that in it's own right is the last major milestone that was really left to hit for the diesel community. Second reason was that this car setup got completely changed from last year when it ran a [email protected]...

    1/4 mile discussion and time slips post here!

    LOL, no Jason! Not a fan of what the water injection does to our motors! No, we aren't out of gearing for the quarter, we are at 6krpms at 1000ft and we are limited to 7200rpms plenty of leg room there. The 1/8th ET record is our next goal for sure with it! Love Micheal to death but we are...

    Lol, about 900ft it hit the egt limiter and yanked power out of it unfortunately. It's not easy to make the power needed to run that fast without hitting the limiters and I want it to stay in one piece as long as possible!
