    The Blackout

    How do I calculate approximate hp from my times and speed?

    The Blackout

    I threw down a 13.516 @ 99.75 Respectable I guess for a tune I made friday night and on 35" tires @ 8100lbs. Other data: R/T: .511 60': 1.858 330: 5.513 1/8: 8.588 1000: 11.252 On Edit: I lost in elimination rounds for blowing my bracket. I dialed a 13.60 and ended up running the 13.516...

    Sweet. Turns out I got friday off, so I might be at the truck pulls, won't enter though. I will most likely use friday to try and tune my truck to be race worthy so I can atleast impress myself.

    LMM: Regency

    I'm a complete idiot, so you may want to disregard what I'm saying... but the Procomp lift does not increase track width much, if at all. Infact, I almost want to guarantee that there is no track increase. You use the stock A-arms... all that really changes is a new cross member bolts on to the...

    towing why so hot??

    I took the grill inserts out of my truck. In the winter, I need them to make any heat, but if I hook a trailer up I need to take them out or else the fan wants to run all the time. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was the 40°C temps that was causing some heat for you. I just drove the...

    Anyone with a DF 165

    Haha... I think even in the states they have both fluid ounces and mL on the bottles??? I know that they still call 2L pop bottle, 2L's.

    The Blackout

    Sounds good. Simon, what do I need to show up with sat morning other than a helmet (I'll use my street bike helmet)? My truck should be legit, its not pounded out with parts hanging off or leaking fluid anywhere haha. And you know what kind of structure they are running or classes or anything...

    Right on. I should be there saturday. If you guys see me, come and say hey. I'd like to check out your truck simon. I probably be wearing grey and white baseball cap. And my truck looks exactly as it does in my avatar except I threw my junk speed grill in the garbage. On edit: there will...

    Transfer case filled with synthetic oil update

    I put transynd in the transfer case. As far as lubrication goes, it would be fine. It likely doesn't have the same high pressure properties as oil or gear oil does though, thats the only reason I was leery about using it in the TC. But I was thinking at the time that in our chain driven TC's...

    Anyone with a DF 165

    Yes, the hose that goes into the bottle is hooked up to the fuel rail. That hose is actually not used for the majority of the time, only when the FPRV lifts will anything come out of there. And yes, it may come out at 20,000 psi... but by the time it passes around the FPRV and goes through any...

    Sleeves VS 37"s

    I'm probably going to try it out friday night... once i get a tune dialed in for going to the drag strip for my first time on saturday.. well not my first time, but will be my first time racing anything down the strip. I'm going to drop the t bars.

    LBZ mouthpiece

    Doesn't water meth usually go on post CAC? I'm probably wrong because that would be whacked to drop the temps (and pressure) of your air charge right before it goes into the motor. Or does it go on at the y-bridge? Would it work good if it was that close?

    The Blackout

    So is there people still on board for this? Pending my work schedule... I probably won't be there for the pulls on friday. but I'm planning on making the drags on saturday. I didn't get a hitch made up for pulling anyways. I'm going to make my best effort at a "race" tune this week. Probably...

    Anyone with a DF 165

    I would take out your FPRV and shim it some more. Mine is probably shimmed enough that it is not possible to open any more. The bottle test will tell you if that is the problem or not though. Basically, the line off the end of the rail from the FPRV... you route that into a bottle(making a tape...

    Sleeves VS 37"s

    One of these days I'm going to let a big 4x4 launch rip in my truck, its on 35's. I'll report back as to how it goes. I've got cognito tie rods, and my procomp 6" has a dropped centerlink with some supports built into it... The idler and pitman arm bolt like normal to the centerlink drop. And...

    Short bed conversion

    Thats nifty! I've always been interested in doing something like this. If I ever get around to it, your guide will come in handy! Thanks!

    Billet vs non-billet

    Cryo treating an item that is going to see higher temps would be useless. After a period of time in the higher temps it would likely undo all the initial effects of the cryo treat. Guess it depends on the temps though. I am thinking doing motor parts would be a waste. If you want perfect engine...

    OSUbeaver - Your right. But that "block" was cast once upon a time.

    Billet vs non-billet

    Accelerator - Your right, you can make a casting of whatever composition you like. But it doesn't boil down to the carbon content. You'll need to get all of your alloying elements in check to make a quality ingot. There is a lot that goes on besides carbon content. The last two numbers of the...
