Diesel Power Challenge results

I'm really hoping thats what it is. It sounds aweful but it's cooling better than before . :thumb: Think I got home at 1:30 after that.
I think they said they would post more results as we began the sled pull. We were at music city raceway in goodlettsville, tn. Owen's motor let go last week on a dyno pull he said.

He's talked more smack in the past 2 days than I've heard my whole life I believe; lotta f's in there, lol
Didn't the Mosquite Bandido read the threads about the impellers coming loose on the water pumps on the high hp dmax's, especially the LB7's? You are suppose to weld or key them. You and Mat are doing great Dimitri, way to represent the dmax's, but you will be an insufferable ****er to be around if you win this thing:nana:, can probably finish way down in the sled pull and still do it. I hope Mat got his turbo fixed, shit luck frying a bearing. Good going you guys.:thumb:

Only have the sled left. We're on the mileage test ATM. Dustin and Matt are tied for 4th.

Dave Sanders is from up here in Idaho he was.making over 1000 HP before he left not sure why he was so low

Dimitri won't change a bit if he wins; he is allready insufferable. :rofl:

We had a welder but as many said to tack it as said it could possible ruin the seals. think he might get one and key it. the impeller was actually cracked from the shaft out.
Chris did Matt get get his turbo swapped?
We welded ours no problem, I'm thinking having the impeller turned down some might not be a bad idea either, you don't need to move that much coolant, especially in a race truck, would probably add a bit more hp too. I think the real solution is go with an external electric one.
What does the track look like?? Hope it is hard and tacky for Dimitri, if it's is very loose I don't think his Proxes will do to good
Been wet as hell there, maybe it's packed down. I considered using drag radials and siping them, but like proxes wouldn't work too good if it were loose. Wonder what happened to Dimitri in the drag race? I figured he'd walk away with that using what he did for tires, Over power the track? Maybe squeezed it bit too much?
Hmm if it's been wet and and they have done a good job packing the track he might be in luck. I have seen street tires actually squeal and lay rubber on a real hard packed track, that would be good for him.
The sled is also gonna play a big part. If the sled is light and lets the trucks get some speed up and lets them pull 300 feet or more the tire won't play as big of role cause with his power he could build some serious speed and the momentum would carry him through. If the sled puts it on them right away, he'll break the tires loose and all the power will be useless
Looked to me like Dimitri won by 107 Ft/lbs on the torque and 259 on the HP at 1212 hp and 1792 ft.lbs if what they posted is correct, Congratulations Dimitri, you must have been in that squirrel cage running like mad.
Sorry guys. I got some tuning done to my truck friday and got a whole in a piston. Might have had something to do with 1920 torque at 2500 rpm. Not good for a duramax. I still got to go watch the dyno and drag racing. I learned a lot in two days. It will take a crasy bad truck to win by next year. I am going to work to build mine. I hate to have let gm fans down. I will try to make up for it next year. I had a good truck, but it would not have won this year. Owen
