A little update on my truck...

[bigrpowr]

Lol that's where you got that from.... wondering what that was all about. 1320 said 1500/3000, not me lol. And For whatever it's worth, corrected to corrected, I made 500 more ft lbs than Craig's truck.

Anyway, I haven't been on here in too long, but unfortunately I haven't been able to do much with the truck this summer since I've been traveling and swamped with work lately! I was trying to go to world finals this year, but I never made a pass with NHRDA earlier this year, so that didn't pan out.

Anyway, the truck is doing great! Still improving on tuning slowly but surely and it's a blast on the street! It hasn't had an issue since DPC. Tows great, and drives awesome! Super happy with it. Hoping to improve fuel only performance a little in the coming months with some better flowing heads, but that's about all the plans I have for the motor. lol

i dont even know what craigs tq numbers were i just know he made 1535 uncorrected which is the bar, and doubt he cares about tq. your truck is a freak always has been, the whole ford community should be proud of it. you've earned it. it's nice that setups that had been tried for years finally panned out. #nathaniel

For whatever it's worth, Craig's torque numbers (from the sheet he gave to Jaran for all the lists he put together) showed 2273, but the 1535 number is a corrected number, not uncorrected. One of the reasons Jaran let corrected numbers fly.

Regardless of who's on top, I'm glad that Fords are making a showing! Truly a dream come true to be considered one of the more formidable Fords around. Riding in Godzilla was probably the nail in the coffin lol.


This is the dyno sheet from Craig.

Yeah, JD, that thing's a monster!!! :jawdrop: my butt dyno can confirm Thanks again for letting me ride shotgun a couple weeks ago. It's come a long way since I moved from Colorado, and it's been quite a while since I rode in a rocket on that level. 20-95 in 2 blocks, smoking the back tires to 80 past the shop we used to work at was a real riot! Lucky the pigs didn't hunt you down for those shenanigans LOL LOL

I can't read it but what's the cf on craigs sheet? I would be willing to bet that craigs was under 5%. The others at dpc were probably 27%

I'm sure the altitude density was quite different in CO than it was in MD. Also it's been mentioned that nitrous negates some of the altitude density negative effects.

Oh well, Dyno's can be manipulated most know that. Everyone still likes big bumbers

 

[Tom@BigTimeKustomz]

Good to see you back on here JD. Always liked your truck and build!

It's 8%. At DPC I saw 19% on one of the trucks prior to mine - I think it was Cory's.

On edit, I think it was 17%. It was raining and 60* that day fwiw.

Since its been forever since I've even posted, I'll refresh this thread I guess! Aside from some cosmetic stuff, I really have changed anything on the truck! Just been driving it lol. I have some ported heads in the works, and plan to have a spare drivetrain ready for it this year. Plan to bring it out to play this year with some of the big boys!

Oh, and I did get some bad ass OUO diff covers from Jared as well!

Your truck looks killer JD. Well done with the polished rims on a black truck. Looks like a beast from the side.

Hope to meet you at TS!

Your truck (and Clausen's) is what made me want to try the VGT 66 with an 8891 precision on my 6.7

 

[getstroked27]

Can't wait to hang out wiff you n Denzel some more!!!

 

[gman1]

Beautiful truck as always buddy!

 

[jdgleason]

Thanks guys! Realized it's been so long since I've posted that I forgot about our trip to Vegas in it. Decided last minute to go to SEMA last year, and since they were predicting snow, we decided to take my truck. Cruised out to Vegas up over the passes and never skipped a beat! Cruise set between 90-95 the entire way. 810 miles in 9.5 hours... It was a blast!

Start of the trip...

Hour later...

Somewhere in Utah

Coming into Vegas

Jared and Justin candid shot lol

This was Steven's truck that Paul at Complete built... (Headlights were sick )

Tiny car or giant human? Lol
