Cool. The motor and set-up out of that race truck is still in strong and great running condition, just retired the vehicle it was in is all. Too much horsepower to plant and make it go in a straight line safely. On to a safer, faster, and more competive race classes. Need to start going after some of these bigger names in the diesel industry. Really show that a Power Stroke CAN and WILL be competitive.
You've got some really strong running trucks with well known shop names out there. Orange Crush, Dirty Max, Stuckey, Garmons, etc... Those are the guys *** is looking to compete with.
not to derail here, but you've got trucks very similar, that make twice the horsepower and go straight. Smith's, CSI, Buck Spruill, TS ... all those trucks are 5500+lbs making 1300+ rwhp ....
but i agree, taking it to that platform at the 8-900 rwhp gives the 7.3 a better chance... zane is gonna have to add weight to race them though... maybe he should drop a liberty or lenco in while he's at it. i think stuckey is around 1000-1100 at 4300lbs ..garmon built his truck to run 10.5's only. orange crush runs high 9's with allison..not sure what it will do with the lenco, dirty max has high 8's writen all over it.
I figured my old truck would have wieghed more than Zanes. Mine tipped the scales at 6300 with a full tank and four inch lift with 35's on 18's. Must be the roll cage and nitrous bottles.
Here is last year's combo (stock h2e and B codes) the truck was popping and had fuel delivery problems as you can see and hear. 12.82 at 106 http://www.youtube.com/v/U50lWPGAd8Q
it'd be interesting if you ad all powerstrokes to that list, 7.3's, 6.0's, there wouldn't be that many 7.3's left on the list, but it's the 7.3 guys that got us started and put faith in us powerstroke owners that we can compete. i had the oppertunity to talk to Zane at ts, great guy. he know's what it's going to take to compete. we're behind you 100%, go get them wide open performance
Greg just answer the 3 questions.
Mind you my job description requires me to spend a lot of time on the Internet so badgering you for the next however many years it nothing but a little workday entertainment for me.
I know why you are scared to answer them cus it would put holes all in your propaganda.
But not to worry, you do me a great service by weeding out potential problem customers that would foolishly believe anything you spew out your traitor mouth, real easy to knock someone for their efforts when you just simply move on to another already proven platform.
BTW getting my daughter through college is a lil more important to me that proving anything to you.

Pretty sad when the owner and the self proclaimed "innovator" of a performance shop determines it is more important to spend time posting fantasy BS on the internet to drum up business than out in the shop turning wrenches!ostwhore2:
Dave, I'll leave you to your interweb disciples..........I'll be in the garage getting ready to actually race tomorrow oke:
