Track passes from the other night

Can you mate the lenco to a gear vendors overdrive? Not only that but you can choose different gear ratios with the lenco, so can't you keep the rpm down depending on your ratios? Just throwing out ideas... The gear vendors has an overdrive made for high hp race applications, its a serious sob

 

[Dzchey21]

The lowest ratio is 1:1

A gear vendors won't handle that power. Would be nice to.figure out how to reverse a gear set to add overdrive but there is a sprag.or something that won't allow it...

No good options that I know of...

Other downside is no down shifting

IM all in for one that works tho... I want one

 

[madman1234509]

Well the guy who is building my truck just put a gear vendors on his 900 hp 5.9 ... The guy from gear vendors that he worked with to get his said they had one that was even more beefed up then the one that's holding on his truck that is strictly ment for race applications. Too harsh to use on the street. I think its rated at or over 2500ftlbs if i recall correctly, but don't quote me on it. And you can wire to a switch to engage whenever you want. I bet calling them is worth a shot. Between them, lenco, and high hp racers that use them there has to be options. But at that point, you're going to realize that its going to take the truck that much further from "streetable" , which I dont think is a concern at this point. If there is a way it could take the truck to the next level.

I think if they have a strong tranny that holds, down shifting will rarely need to play a roll.

I vote since its not a street truck anymore to throw a Lenco in it. Itll shift as fast as you can make it. So much stronger and more options for gear ratios ect. After everything else you've thrown in it and the amount of money, it might be worth a shot.

Honestly no

I meant to quote that post up above yours, sorry buddy.

 

[01PSD]

It's all good, I was a little confused honestly LOL I want to see this big b!tch hit 9s.. seriously

I meant to quote you earlier , I messed up. Try making a Lenco work with a 4wd. It's a tall task, and certainly not something I would imagine Craig would/should do in a crew cab. Ms. Misery is the only example I know of with a 4wd Lenco.

 

[madman1234509]

Is Ms. Misery a drag truck? Ill have to you tube it, sounds interesting. Yea, im not sure the best way to go about something like that. But it just seems like with the amount of money, time, effort put into all of these different trannies there has to be something else. Having custom trannies built repeatedly, with custom billet parts and what not... when lencos over the years have been proven, just not in this type of application, and esp not with 4x4, like you stated bigrpowr

Obviously we all know, asking a crew cab diesel 4x4 pick up to go that fast is a big task to ask of anything. It may be worth it to just call them, talk to a higher up. MPD gets enough publicity with the truck, and with how big diesel drag racing is, and is still growing, it may get the wheels turning over at the Lenco R&D to open up something to these ridiculous 4x4 launching 1000+ hp 10 second and under trucks. Hopes and dreams.

There's not really a lot of r&d needed IMO , it has and can be done. Craig just needs to put that setup into something light and become competitive. There's almost 50 9 sec trucks and most those people understand what it takes. Craig is just on the Dmitri plan to run the ever living crap out of it until he runs a 9, it took Dmitri 1500+ hp and countless transmissions to do it, and quit the day after it ran a 9.99. Rudy got smart and built a light truck and ran 9.40's at similar power

 

[Erikclaw]

What has Aaron's truck done since then? Wasn't the 9.40's with the compound set up that they took off?

 

[madman1234509]

Yes that's true. This was all just in reference if he was going to try to make this crew cab even more competitave. He'll get 9s.... Question is.... Will it be enough?? :lookaround:


Could he maybe benefit from trying to get tripples to work for him to get into the 9s. I know he tried once before then nothing much was said and he went back to a single. Not bashing the single, tons of fuel, and tons of n2o approach. But maybe a 2 stage tripple setup, equivalent to like a 100/70 or 100/75 in airflow?

 

[madman1234509]

I think I saw aarons truck do mid to high 6s in the 8th at the truck jam. He only made one semi decent run. I've said it in other threads, I was really shocked to see he went from compounds to a single when i was at the shop the night before.... Almost kind of disappointed.


I know I saw the tripple turbod dmax do like 6.4 and it seemed way faster then rudys truck, unfortunately....

 

[Erikclaw]

He tried tripples once? Never heard about that.

That tripled Dmax ran a 6 flat later on...

I saw that dmax make a 6.10 pass. Wasn't it a ex cab also? I know they are a lot lighter than ours, but very impressive to be a chebby.

 

[bft blue oval boys]

Yep, it was impressive for sure. I know these Ford's can do it too though, just gotta find a tranny solution

When craig had the giant set of twin it was a monster but I rmember in another thread, him or mike saying that the twins made to much tq or power down low, snapping shafts left and right so I don't think tripples will help him out untill they can find a tranny that can hold the power.

 

[SleeperDuty]

However trips could work in whitey at the lighter weight.

 

[Checkmate]

Nice mph as well...cool setup..

 

[Dzchey21]

The thing is if you plan in spraying nitrous there it's no point to compounds or tripple turbos...just add more spray to make up your lack of air...and keep turbo costs down if one blows up
