My comment wasn't referred to it being hooked to a sled rather than on a Dyno... I was simply saying time.. Some may get It some may not... Not referring to Timming* either..

Thanks. That is what I thought you meant. That could be the case. Or is more then likely the case. Still testing things and seeing how for it can be pushed.

I've discussed this build with Scotty numerous times and I think I'm as ready for it to be done and excited about it as he is.

sent while doing burnouts somewhere in the country

I'm not surprised to hear 50Kpsi on a rail pressure spike at all. I've spiked my rail pressure on the dmax to 42kpsi when I'm changing things and am working on dialing in the tuning. Its just a spike - but that spike is what splits things - blows the tops off of injectors, etc.... rail spikes in common rail applications and tuning is nothing new. if he can't get them under control with tuning - then some mechanical parts need to change. There is a reason that these systems run blow off safety valves - the trick is to make sure the blow off valves need to be sized to dump enough fluid to control the spike.

NOTE: I have no idea the details of Swamp's setup - they may or may not have a blow off valve or other things they are trying to do to make this work.

Was over at Tommy's yesterday. Truck has a new turbo setup and I believe they are working on new fuel lines or rails for it.... Thing will be an animal when it's dialed in!!

Maybe it was just me... but those headers he was building weren't too pretty

I was over dropping off some turbos last week and I thought the headers looked pretty nice. If they are the same ones? He told me a weld/fab shop made them for him.

Is there a chance that this will be made into a kit available to the public or is this gonna be something for dedicated sled pulling trucks?

Probably be a $12K kit I imagine after the engineering has been completed or is my estimate low?
