Diesel Power Challenge, 6.7 Build

01PSD · May 3, 2013

How far is the event from Elite? Well it's kind of scattered I guess but what's the farthest you'll be from the shop?

Matt's on his way home, posted a pic on FB. Says he has 500 miles to go, driving on a conservative tune.

Did you guys dyno it? Just curious of the numbers.

On the drive they stray 50 miles or so from the shop. Otherwise between 5-20 miles.

Nice, thought it was pretty close.

I pass the purple palace every day 3 minutes into my 12 minute commute to work. That's how close it is.

Tomo afternoon me and my buddy Mark are going to take off and head for Denver, we are going to trailer the truck the rest of the way. The truck had a mild tune on it to break the motor in, the truck spooled fairly nice for such a mild tune. The truck also has a lot deeper of a tone with the stock turbo off.

Sorry to everyone who was wanting to see videos of it, I had a long drive home. Will find out Tuesday what kind of power it will make.

You or SPE bringing any spare parts along?

Built 6.7 · May 5, 2013

Not really, truck should be pretty reliable with it current setup, that's half the battle with dpc. If you can keep your truck together you have a good chance of doing well.

Good luck Matt and SPE, been following the build the whole time and cant wait to see how it does at the challenge. It'll be awesome to get the 6.7 some exposure and hopefully can give SPE the credit they deserve for pioneering this build!

01PSD · May 5, 2013

This truck very well could set the bar for 6.7 Power Strokes abroad, as well as gain SPE the respect they deserve.

That's the truth

I cant stand the DPC, but I can honestly say I really look forward to see how this truck performs.

they were having major problems with the bluetruck at II's dyno yesterday, replaced a couple injectors in the parking lot and it still wouldnt run right. they were getting ready to swap a few injection related parts as the day was ending tho

then seen a picture at about 9:30pm that night with the truck strapped onto the indoor dyno at II, so not real sure if they got it 100% figured out.
they broke every truck that came to dyno tho.

back on subject, truck looks sweet!
wish i could talk my dad into doing all this to out 6.7!
