Ok, its August 1st, time for our monthly high horsepower update. Quite a bit of action/drama has been going on since the last thread for some of us. Let get updates on those vehicles that have superchargers/turbos/twin turbo's.

I'll start with mine. As you all know I had a horrific day at Bandimere with high 14 second times. I've talked to Dan at DC and he thinks the WOT timer delay is causing my problems in the first few gears at WOT. They've documented a similar situation on the dyno with their supercharged trucks.

I've run some software that uses the trucks weight/height/width/drag coef/tire size/tire mass/gears/track elevation/temp/humidity/ etc. For Brokes truck the program nailed his time/mph when compared to his actual timeslip. The program suggested my truck would or should run a 12.8-13.5. The 12.8 was for a supercharged application with 670 hp/660tq. The 13.5 was for naturally aspirated application.

Anyway, EBAY auction ends tomorrow and it doesnt look like it will sell. If not, I'll be ordering the computer and adding the flash and thermostat through Dan hoping this will take care of the issue. I'm guessing I should notice a fairly dramatic increase in power before and during the boost stage around and above 3000-3500 rpm. If this works, I'll be keeping the truck and hoping to get back to Bandimere on a test and tune night to hopefully get my times at least into the 13's.

Whos next?
 
Good luck bro! hope it works out!


Well I am taking mine to the nats so everyone can see the POS!:D LOLOL


Kevin at the underground is gettin married in the Bahamas or somwhere, so I told him I would bring it to him when we both get back, for tuning and fuel upgrades. til then!:D



next!
 
Does underground sound like they can fix the problems you had? Anyone pony up for their first twin turbo Ram?

I forgot to add the dealership which reinstalled the Paxton on the motor they rebuilt says nothing is wrong with the truck. After that, I sent them a link to the video and the timeslip...havent heard back. Doubt I will.
 
Doubt u will too.......Mine is getting a forensic inspection for why this failure occurred. They have ordered the necessary parts as far as I know. Hopefully, I will be reassebled and on the road again within a week or so......NOT HOLDING MY BREATH.
 
My Twin Turbo is still at Hennessey's shop....they fixed the oil leaks, installed the chrome intake, and are doing some additional tweeking...low boost setting around 750 RWHP...The High boost setting....????

Should have her back this week...:)

Motor is back together and in the truck ready for the project to be finished. Hoping sometime by the end of August. I had the motor torn back down and we inspected all internals to make sure everything was up to snuff after testing some new stuff. I drove the truck in current trim and it hauls ass. Now all I need is the project to be finished and it will be time for some huge numbers.

Good luck to everyone with there builds

Blake,

You can always modify Mike's view and start thinking of engine 4...

On a more serious note, I just wanted to say I am sorry to about the motor, but I am sure am happy to take some of the forum member's advice and have them break it in.

Have you heard anymore about what went poof?
