Gearing is so little of a difference....it sounds totaly different also it looks like it blows smoke higher over the cab....did u get your new parts on yet or is that gonna be next year?

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Sep 10, 2013

No, will not till the new engine gets built. I think the engine sound and smoke height is mainly deceiving because I'm running 5" pipe to a 7" stack. Lower stack velocity and mellower sound. And ironically it's worst pull was in Bloomington, when the traction bars broke and I ran the really slow gear. I think if we coulda have pulled again together the way the truck is running now it would be closer than 7'. It is what it is. I really don't care to have a battle of who's 6,4 is better lol.

Just thinking outloud here but I've heard of people running bigger tires on the front to get the front to pull harder. Have you thought about this

The truck bite and pulls hard. In fact it doesn't have enough power to overcome the grip of the tires. I've been taking traction out of it just to help it out. Seems silly but it's what it is.

Very happy with the pulls tonight! We beat the trucks that beat us last time. Only was second to the "scheer determination" truck. Pulled a 2nd in 2.6 and a 2nd in open.

Weighted it up for open and pulled heavier than all year. Did good, only 6' off second.

Nice work Louis.

PSA needs to name this truck. My favorite puller name is "off constantly". Announcers never understand why people when they shout over the PA "whose gonna beat of constantly" lol

Yeah in the open it snuffed the charger. But we added a lot of weight and hitch height for open.

The dodge that beat me in both classes snuffed his charger both times. Spinning out doesn't always mean your winning. But I was still very happy to be throwing dirt at the end.

Great job Morgan! Were you running the same setup as all year or did you play with some stuff, besides when you added weight and raised the hitch height for the open class.
