Well finally made it back to drive the truck on dry roads. This thing is unreal, couldn't be happier, still a few tweaks to be made with tuning but overall the truck runs and drives great. Tracks opening on the 1st and the go pro is charged and ready to go.

that is a heck of a build! similar goal as mine, run 10.90's but I think 750-800 on fuel and then spraying it 1000 might be a little easier. I don't plan to cage mine and if you know for sure you are going to epping on the 1st i will deff go and run my truck as well which i have been wanting to do since i tuned it January. my will be slow unlike yours only running a little street tune. really does look killer though, I can't wait to crack into the motor!

I'm glad your happy with it Stew

That's great to hear. Exited to see what kind of times the truck will turn.

100%, dual fuelers, and a 66/88 setup is a 900rwhp solid all day, 1,000 plus on a baby jet.

Nice to hear from you Stew. Be sure to let us know how it handles the power at the track

I'd bet there's well over 1,000 there on fuel...

Were the heads ported on this truck? There is definitely more then enough fuel and turbo.

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Mar 25, 2014

88 mm Atmo really has yet to prove more than 900 ish out of a 6.4 on fuel. I don't think ported heads will make that much difference. I guess we will see.

Mike@MPD · Mar 25, 2014

So far it's made 940 on a truck on 40s. 980 on Stewarts and 930 on craigs

ported heads wont make a difference, but what were working on right now will.

Is it a 1.21 gigawatt flux capacitor? LOL

Don't mind me I am running a way too little sleep.

Yeah. Like said before solid 900's all day long. Just needs a tad more to consistently hit 4 digits.

bigrpowr · Mar 26, 2014

shone made 1040 with a 66/82 .

I dont see how porting wouldnt make a difference? We took quite a bit out of my heads. The intake runners were slightly larger then my thumb is wide, and now I can move my thumb pretty freely side to side, esp in the rear cylinder.

Another thing I wonder is most of these numbers are with borg warner journal bearing turbos. We all know its all about spool up on these inertia dynos. Wonder if a garrett ball bearing/gtx/precision ball bearing would help that extra little bit. If I had the extra funds I would have bought a gtr or gtx. Maybe in a year or so Ill swap them out.

Just because you remove material, create smoother flow path, and it costs money to do, the gains arent there, been there done that.

The GTX dual ball bearing chargers we tried spooled slower than the borg units, the ball bearing chra is used for longevity of the turbocharger. But im not opening the debate of why people think they spool faster. LOL

We will be testing some garretts vs borg on the new race truck again ... whichever motor is will have... :badidea:

GTX's last a long time and spool really well. That's nothing new to the diesel game. I prefer bb turbos over JB, because replacing them is costly and time consuming. Borgs probably do make more power, but I personally haven't seen one spool faster than a GTX. Just my 2 cents.

Cant wait to see how it does on the track. What does the truck weigh?

Gtx 4508 is the biggest turd of a charger on a 6.4 I don't care what you dyno over a borgwarner charger at the track the borgwarner will Win by 4/10 and 5 mph and spool up will be faster with a borgwarner because the turbine wheels are designed to work on a diesel engine

Yes I will say they hold up longer but so will a journal if you keep it happy and balanced
