4200 gsk or more?

Yup, the crowd was suitably impressed with the carnage! He said on TDR that one of the spragues or planetaries in the trans stripped, then it went to 7200 rpm.

I figured something happened cuz it sounded like it just lost the load on the engine all a sudden and spun a couple extra thousand rpm

yeah that sucks. i have seen videos of his truck pullin and he damn near drags it off the track every time

[PToombs]

He was selling bearing caps and rod parts as souveniers for a while!

I was just asking if the ve could turn more then 4200. The bottom end is done.

Yes no load it will. Under load is a different story. I'm not sure how high KTA has had his under load/dyno though. Mine has seen 4k on the dyno.

[PToombs]

Mine has gone 3700, nothin left for power though!

[DTanklage]

i wonder if that is because the vane pump is done at that point?

what would happen if you had a mech pump keeping the case pressure above 150?

then there are the cam specs - 5000 rpm should have totally different specs than a 3000 rpm motor

[ford69557ci]

all in good time my friend lol. if i can ever find a few more core injection pumps for some testing that is.

I've read somewhere that the upper 40s is it for the VE in VW applications, which flow much less than the Cummins applications. I think that is still waaayyy too fast for a diesel.

there is no such thing as too much

[cummins king]

thats true untill the motor blows up and then its to much

That's not a sign of too much. That's a sign of the motor having too little.
