Diesel power challenge 2012

Derek@Vision Diesel · Mar 17, 2012

Damn its exciting reading this thread.... the powerstroke is going to win this year, I can feel it.

If we roll in with 3 trucks all sporting 1000 on fuel, and potential to spray a little if needed... with 4r100s or powerflytes, **** is going to hit the fan and the opposing crews will definitely be worried

Well it is about to get ***ing serious. Here is hoping I make it cause if I do Mike will not be the only one making 1000hp on fuel.

Somebody is gonna get DOOMED

You should just get that rolling anyway. Hate to see you have issues like your buddy did last year with his

Absolutely. Especially since this will be a new setup.

Sounds like Brennan and his triple turbo mega cab long bed will be dropping out due to not being able to meet the deadline. Probably a good thing cause that truck did 1100 on WOP tow triples, cant wait to see wait the race triples will do.

That sucks for him gis truck is bad ass I was wondering if his new motor was going to be done in time

Erikclaw · Mar 18, 2012

So he made 1100hp on tow triples then decided to rebuild or he hurt it and had to rebuild?

idkillinit · Mar 18, 2012

Decided to go to race trips and hurt it would be my guess

His truck made 1079hp fuel only, had a problem with his new injector nozzles and toasted some pistons. His truck has been down since July at some shop who removed the motor and dismantled it completely within the first couple weeks of having it. Its been sitting like that ever since, he finally got fed up and had the truck towed to our shop in about a million pieces. We've got to build the motor and fabricate the new triples, and still haven't received his engine block from the previous shop. Just don't see getting that jigsaw puzzle back together and tested and dialed in before DPC.

That sucks jdub! All the way around. Good luck with it now that you have it.

^^^ This is how all shops/competitors should go about their DPC endeavors. If it isn't together and tested, it's really not worth making the trip.

I say the owner gets it back together, has fun testing it this summer, and reenters for DPC 2013. His chances of getting voted in will be just as good next time.
