I'd like to push the limits of the VE someday (once I'm out of college and making some decent money). I'd also like to have a way to log data from a variety of sensors and eventually develop a chip to control variable geometry twins, or at least a good variable geometry single... but that's a ways down the road. Making it look decent would be good too.

I plan to major in Mechanical Engineering, but maybe take some courses in aerodynamics as well. I'd like to end up working for either a diesel engine company (Cummins of course 8) ) or a turbo manufacturer. I'm also considering Electrical Engineering; I'm not sure yet.

I don't believe in the concept of "goals". One cannot live with the placement of goals in front of them, or one will procrastinate and not do. What one must do is be progess, and make progress do to who he is.

I'm building a drag truck over on this end. My goal is to have enough power to make a lock-up and overdrive a liability.

Currenty looking for an S110 axle, as per KTA's recommendation, to get some limited slip action and disk brakes.
Planning on building a DIY nitrous kit to get off the line. Gonna put the nitrous jets in the BHAF box I'm building.
Looking for a 12cm w/g housing.
Got a Goerend's TC installed and a Hughes manual valve body on the bench.
Intalling a WVO system for the last two years. Got it all but the filters. Planning on running #6 Diesel in it.
Installing 5 inch sideliners at the beginning of Summer.
Going to have to install a water injection system to make up for the intercooler; like gman, I want mine to be dynamically controlled and programmable based on boost pressures and EGT's.
Tweak my pump to it's fullest, get some injectors after I get my twins. Nothing fancy there, just do it on the cheap with the stock turbo on top and a 3HTB.
Probably will never be satisfied without a bigger pump. But I wouldn't install a P-pump in a first gen. Actually I might, along with a back-yard propane system to compensate for the lack of variable timing, as the P-pump would probably be better suited to running #6... But, I'm hesitant to do that.
In order to make up for the lack of overdrive, I'm planning on boosting the powerband as high as I possibly can. So a cam and whatever springs KTA's running. And Diesel fumigation in the intake.


And the woman in the passanger seat would be nice to.

Ya'll know that I haven't had consensual contact with a female in 10 years? Ever have those thoughts that kind of surface and sink for years on end, but you don't really dwell on. Well, I had one. In second grade, the little Mexican girl with the doe eyes, straight black hair and pale skin. Anna-Leigh Sanchez liked me. She let me hold her hand once in the cafeteria, after she flirted with me by stealing my fruit roll-up. So she sat there looking at me with the fun and the mirth and the trust as I punished her like the bastard I am by twisting my hands about her wrists to burn her. And I saw that joy and intimacy in her eyes turn to fear and disgust, and I saw the tears, but I hurt her on purpose and wouldn't stop until I saw them. So I don't know why I was distraught. And she went and told the lunch supervisor, and I was told by God herself that "I never want to see you put your hands on this girl again". I was never friendly with Anna-Leigh again, but she came to be all women. And so my subconcious, indirect underminings of relationships; my self-imposed social alienation, my chronic ineptitude with females, my pornography addiction, my unhealthy attraction to my truck; how much of it stems from fear of presenting my true sadistic, uncontrollable, unempathetic identity to my fabricated identity of lies and superficiality!

uuummmm, ok :shock: begle, that was interesting reading.

well, to greatly oversimplify it, i just want a really comfortable truck that looks good with enough power to efficiently pull a camper trailer so me and the wife can see this great county we live in. i dont think thats asking too much.

Short term goal for the 89: break 500hp with the single charger I have now. Long term goal is 600hp. I think I'll be happy then LOL, not likely, it never ends as Kinison said.

Scott, you have until October to get ready! :lol:

I'm trying to make mine relatively rust free, (for a while). Respectfully fast, powerfull, (300-400 HP), hot rod diesel! I want to be able to put my wifes 7500 lb tractor on the trailer and go to a pull or a show, and get there in 1 piece and in style! Oh, and beat any strokers or maxis I see on the way!

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

LOL, heck that one ain't even put together yet :evil: ! Still waiting on JR to fab me that crossover pipe. I'll be driving the auto truck Saturday. Hopefully I can hit 350rwhp with that one:D.

I don't believe I'll be there this year. You's guys will all have rust free 500 HP units from the above posts. I'd feel out of place and inferior.

I'll just set home and watch re-runs of "Little House" and "Walker Texas Ranger"

I'd just like to be able to drive it more than 2000 miles without catostrophic driveline failer.

I want to slowely take a run at highest horsepower ve truck and see what can be done with it :twisted: . When I get tired of that I'll swap in my other built 96 motor with a p-pump and turn it into a full on pulling truck. Those are the plans anyway. I beter get out back and water the money tree :wink: .
