Tomorrow is the mileage test that runs straight into the sled pull.

 

[MINK]

Sled pull is what Ryan needs to hammer hard, he has the most traction there !

 

[Dzchey21]

i wouldnt be surprised if ryan wins the pull

fuel mileage... not so much lol

That is why you want to have some time on a build before you go out there and compete it just screams failure if you don't...

 

[RedRice589]

Exactly. Seems half the competitors are in the same boat...

 

[01PSD]

If you know for a fact your $hit won't be ready at least a month prior to the competition... you should withdraw your name or not even bother entering. I would want to wait until the next year so I had time to learn my setup and get over the quirks.

 

[Will@Rudy'sDiesel]

Exactly...

 

[Hotrodtractor]

I think you guys would be hard pressed to find many of the competitors that had their rigs ready a month ago..... It doesn't matter if they are in the lead right now or in the DNF area.

Seriously? EVERYONE is under a minute and a half this time, I'd say they did practice lol

Sent from a Cummins plant, driving a Powerstroke, with a TDI on the side!

After penalties, several were over that LOL

I find the whole dynamic of how the altitude affects these trucks fascinating. If someone was building a truck specifically to run at that altitude, what would the ideal setup? Small compounds? Progressive nitrous? How about a Procharger as an atmosphere? How would that set up do at sea level then?

Just need something that lights right now... not too terribly tough with the turbos and technology available to us.

jd's pile ran 11.7 today at test and tune AFTER dpc... so ***ing epic LOL
another dpc entrant that didnt get voted in mike gieger (forgive my spelling) went 10.80@130 on fuel, just goes to show you the people who do the voting dont know whats up. Plus these boys know how to play up in thin air

Still pissed I didn't get a track warning... I couldn't get bottle pressure up above 900. I almost went to a bigger jet and hit the second stage, but I figured it wouldn't matter much lol. It did run 116 though, which made me feel better.

Mike Geiger's 10.80 was with a 1.9 60'. His second pass went to leave harder and dusted an intermediate. They were warming a bottle for his third pass That truck is an animal.

 

[Monster12valve]

Is it possible for a 6.0 to compete with these guys at DPC right now? I am new to the powerstroke, came from all cummins trucks. I know numbers wise with enough money... But what about reliability? Will a 6.0 live at 800-1000hp long enough to be a "proven" setup? And compete.

 

[Six_Sloww]

I just don't see how a 6.0 could compete with these trucks with more displacement and better flowing heads.

We've all seen how trucks that can't spool do at that altitude.

I know there's a lot more to it then just those two factors.. But spooling your turbo is a huge deal, that's just my $.02

I can tell you that they would beat a 7.3

 

[jdgleason]

I think a 6.0 could be competitive for sure. This year power didn't really give anyone an edge. It's a drivers game as long as the truck spools.
