Yea, the way it has been set up we have had to take out upwards of 14 degrees on the hit to get it to somewhat stick. That was on a shitty track. I had 5 out of it at SAR when it went 1.34 to the 60.

Tomorrow is gonna be hot, so I'll probably wait till the evening before I try to get after it, but the track is supposed to be really good. It would be nice if we could get it to leave without pulling any power out!

I went a few rounds (fighting) with the truck today. Truck won. Piece of ****.

Not to worry, it'll still pull into the garage under its own power, but probably not without spinning the tires or blowing an intercooler pipe off or trying to eat the cloth shield under the hood or shifting from 1st to 3rd or making an improper key stroke in the tune.

I know you don't see as much humor in the last paragraph but it made me laugh a little.

I think it was "Dom" who said best "You can't just jump in the ring with Ali, because you think you can box" hahahaha

Apparently you left some or all of the connections silicone. I know you talked about making them all band clamps.

Can't blame the monster for getting hungry for the fire blanket! Plus you didn't need the extra weight anyhow.

Looking at some datalogs it did make 31lbs of boost at 7800 rpm. Fuel pressure was 77 psi, so I got the fuel problem figured out.

31psi at 7800rpm...didn't you call that motor a junker or something? Seems pretty stout to me lol. Is that blower about maxed out then?

yes, I had the blower pullied for max rpm at 8000 engine rpm.

I was having such an issue with the intercooler tube at the blower........I'm not sure that will be a final number. I think it was pretty much leaking all day.

These are the only way to go once you're talking about 30+psi pressures. Re-did a complete set of pipes for a 60psi Cummins setup with these and boost leaks were a thing of the past.

Earl's Performance Products UK - Wiggins Clamps and Weld adapters

They also allow the piping to move around some, too rigid is a bad thing

Vibrant (and some other places too i think) have something very similar to a wiggins, only you dont have to pay an arm and a leg for them...
