Diesel Power Magazine 1st gen buildup

[Deathrod]

wait he has double overdrive???? Im gonna have to go back and read all the rustbucket stuff. Top speed is all gearing, no way i wanna go that fast in something i built in my garage!!!

[JQmile]

Ha ha, my crossmember broke in half right at the suspension point, and I had a buddy re-weld it. All he said was "please make sure you check this before you go down the dragstrip!" So I'm not any safer than you bud!

Also, I only have a single OD with 3.07 gears. My driveshaft is the limiting factor. Based on its length, I can only go 130-140mph on it before it starts jump roping.

What's the speed limit? 65mph? I would be plenty ready to do a "30mph to 65mph" race....

[Deathrod]

lets do it!!!....if you want that thing welded correctly hit me up

[JQmile]

You track legal? I think a lot of us magazine guys are going to hit Irwindale in the next month or so. I have a helmet you can borrow if you need one. Other than that, a battery hold down is about all you need.

[Deathrod]

Haha about the only thing I'm missing is a battery hold down, does a tie down work???? I think we should just go to diesel truck night and come up with something....nothing big...I think they still do diesel night.

[JQmile]

We need to do this! When's your truck ready? Got twins now, right?

[RCCUMMINS89]

I"m speaking out of turn............but maybe he'll be up for it next spring.

and ya............his little ol' car has twins and is pushes 60+ psi of fastness.

Aren't you like 80 miles away? That would be a lot of beer!!

[Deathrod]

I have the standard pizza and beer moving policy Just got back from another trip, and going to start working on the new house tomorrow......really hope the deathrod holds together until I get all this stuff done.....maybe I'll just baby it around until then........Neverrrrrr!!!!!!!!

[RCCUMMINS89]

So, what's this Cummins math? LOL. I like it...............

first 12mm ve to go 600hp..........with injectors from The Hungry Diesel

[Deathrod]

Every guy you run into with a cummins....especially if it's got stacks or a ginormous cummins sticker is guilty of "cummins math" ......just greatly exaggerate how much power you have without any proof to back it up.....come to think of it I probably am I'm the 1000 hp ballpark!

[RCCUMMINS89]

Yep...........my favorite..............

stock truck 305rwhp(cr) + 140hp edge box + 120hp nozzles = 565hp with stock turbo. LOL

Now if you're lucky and have nice dynos like me........it'll prove it right,LOL
