Did you mean secondsAnd around is not very close when 1 second on the dragstrip is a huge hp difference especially when your truck supposedly weighs 8200lbs. In your video it takes 12 seconds to go from 20 -60
I'm not building a drag truck, 1 second makes no difference to me, considering my weight fluxuates by nearly 1000lbs depending how much fuel I have in it at the time
As for it taking 12 seconds to go from 20-60 I think I already mentioned that I think the needle is slow, which I verified it being not only slow, but off by using my cell phone GPS speedo and tomtom. It is almost 6mph lower than actual speed, which upsets me... its a $300 speedometer. I am going to send it in to speedhut to get refaced 0-100 and recalibrated.
Ya that must be it.
The part that kind of makes me feel bad for you is that you seem to actually believe you are making these numbers. This is what you seem to be missing: your dyno results are seriously flawed. Think about it! I could do a pull in 2nd gear, come up with over 1000 ft/lbs of torque and then pretend, um I mean formulate, that torque at some rpm I pull out of my butt, 3200 in your case, and come up with 609 horsepower.
I guess you didnt watch my video, did you count how many gears I shifted? I feel bad for you pulling scenarios out of my butt. Just because you aren't smart enough to figure this stuff out ,doesnt mean I am not
Why do you keep editing your post every time you are caught in an inconsistency?Everytime I re-read your posts, they are different.
Once again, you seem to have a horrible case of diarrhea of the mouth, spouting out inaccurate information. I have NEVER edited my post to account for what you call an "inconsistency", I edit posts because I try to pretty them up, and add more stuff when I think about it, once again... don't question my integrity, I have more than you could ever dream of having.
This thread has me bummed out because as long as I have been a member here, I have always held you in high regard, and I respect your abilities as a builder, so it is terrible to see your credibility crash and burn because of this stupid dyno run. The run is flawed because not all variables have been accounted for, not because we are a bunch of meanies.
My run is flawed because people like you are too ignorant to understand how a dyno works, and you fabricate your own scenario's out of jealousy or whatever it may be. RPM is not a variable needed to calculate a torque number, the only "unaccounted variable" is that a few of you don't think that I am intelligent enough to know what my RPM was, but that's ok, its just too bad for you.
But c'mon, your truck runs great, and nobody is disputing that.
EDIT: (not to account for an inconsistency
), but I made it to Ft. Lewis. Truck ran good. I had to adjust static timing in the high desert to get the smoke/egt's down. I had more EGT issues than I wanted that an intercooler would not of fixed. I am already looking at building a water injection kit for it. Plenty of power, just couldnt pull big hills in 5th with more than about 1/4 throttle when at higher elevations. Low elevation pulling snoqualmie pass I was able to do the entire pass only downshifting to 4th once. Turbo starts fluttering when I drop below 2500rpm in 5th laying into the throttle.This trip gave me a real good idea of where I'm at, and what I need to do to get exactly where I need to be.
Did it work well enough that I could leave it alone? Sure... I never had to drop below 50mph on any grades, and pulled most of them in 5th gear, but there is modifications that I could definitely make to make it a lot better.
Also, total weight was 15,520lbs with 60 of 105gal of fuel (have a weight slip)
You guys sound really crazy with your claims and doubts. You act like its some conspiracy or something. Like I have a reason, money, or time to made fraudulent dyno runs. C'mon guys, get it together.
