DPC Round Two: Going for Broke

pog · May 2, 2013

Erik are you gonna get time to drive around in your rig to get a feel for the new power and what not?

^^

Seat time can be more crucial than HP.

Praying that she stays together. Numbers arent everything.

im sure if erik wants to spill the beans he will, but im pretty excited for him, more afraid for his drivetrain. he better get his drag racing skills together though, hes gonna need it.

With big power comes big uh ohs.. LOL keep it together!

Gotta admit he's done good job setting it up as good as reasonably possible aside from just making power. Single piece rear driveline with 1480 series u joints, 300 m axle shafts, 4.30's, front and rear true tracs, oversize brakes with drilled rotors, stage 5 trans, custom age studs, partially filled block, ceramic coated pistons & heads, carrillos, ati, etc, etc. Shoot, the entire long block has been cryoed. A lot of that stuff has been on the truck for a while, but most of what went into it since last year is all about reliability. Nothing is a guarantee, but at least he's approached it going for reliability as a top priority, knock on wood.

:whs: Plus he has had one heck of a team behind him to make sure that everything he spent that money on was for the right reasons

01PSD · May 3, 2013

Yep. Don't think you could ask for a better team, we're just here for moral support LOL

That is funny.

Erik grows the "medicinal" smoke that is legal in Cali. Well, that is what I asssume. Cotton only pays so much. Lol.

Truck makes enough power that when he texted me, I had to stop and do the math. Yeah he makes like 85 HP more than me. I guess I will just turn up the water/meth system when we race. Ha....ha....ughhh yeah the truck is nasty Erik. Best of repeat luck/skill
