60hp

Ok cool, 800 seemed like a lot, even with spray! I'm very excited to see Wayne's numbers with the 60s, seeing as how I just got mine back together with the new nozzles.

i made 800 with 60's with small jets ... i think max will be under 900.

I bet you're right. Andy's truck at dpc probably didn't have a whole lot left on the table... Dual fuelers and tuning will really be the only advantages... Bet it's around 875 with that monster drivetrain lol

I feel pretty safe only having 60 hp nozzles to work with. That won't be enough fuel to blow anything up as long as I'm half way intelligent about it. The controller is sophisticated enough that when properly programmed, it's pretty much impossible for it to spray when you don't want it to. When I do get around to testing it I imagine it will be somewhere in the 800's... at least with these nozzles.:lookaround: The plan will be to spray until it's perfectly clean, then a little more so egt's will stay between 1300*-1500*. Don't want to cool it more or it will potentially quench the fire.

Above all, I need this truck to run right for the planned turbo tests, so I won't be considering anything dumb for a while at least. FWIW, Max solenoid flow capability is two .120" jets. Matt @ gearhead said he would be willing to extend the pulse width after tdc for additional power on a nitrous only tune, but that's not on my radar any time soon. Apparently with what he has in mind, if I run that tune very hard without spraying, I'll see extreme egt's and smoke, so since I don't need the info that will provide, but I do need to get to work and back without sharing the excursion with my wife, that will wait for another time if ever.

What did they change in the controller? I can only imagine what size jets you may end up running towards the end of the day. LOL

Your controller is activated by a wot switch, then smoothly controlled by either boost or time. Mine does the same, but has more options that I may or may not use. Here's the description:

Hmmmmmm I'm gonna have to check my kit and see if I have the new style or not.

That made me lol Geeze I think they need a few more options on that thing. Optional touch screen to tune in the truck. lol

Only the cool kids have the newest one.

From what I gather, the main thing gained with the new controller is being able to inject and cut nitrous based off mph. For running the 11.90 class, it will be nice for Wayne.

Yeah, and when rolling into it on the street. LOL

On occasion, I'm sure:rockon:

I know it's a beat up looking box, but it's in my possession. I'll post pics of the install of this as I get time. I'm hoping to mount the bottle under the bed, on the outside of the frame, but don't know if I'll have room. I guess we'll see.

Sounds like a beast wayne. Hopefully it will take everything you through at it.

I'm sure it's a really loving hate though.

HD F250 · Jan 16, 2013

At least you have a buyer for the kit already if you go BOOM. I always try to look at the bright side. LOL

Wayne · Jan 16, 2013

Nice to know I have such wonderful friends that have my best interests in mind. :fustrate:
There are no plans for boom noises on this truck except for :lookaround: sonic boom:naughty:

Yeah, JD. It's a loving kind of hate.:toast:
