Jonmalibuss Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 all I have to say is WOW. what is in that thing man? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's a twin turbo D-max non intercooled because we are going to use the nitrous for cooling the intake charge. The reason for not using intercoolers and using nitrous instead is to keep the weight down over the frontend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpreston Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) Good atleast we'll have someone to put to shame! What? We don't get any credit for using a Chevy body? Might be difficult to line up against another Pro Diesel truck considering there are only 2 running/active trucks in the US at the moment (not including the Banks ride since it has yet to make a pass). Our current ride is way overweight, as aerodynamic as a brick and using a junkyard motor with stock head bolts. New truck to go into construction this winter is a Dakota with an actual race prepped motor and about 900 pounds lighter. Motor is a 12 valve "B" series Cummins as you would find in a pre-98 Dodge. No coal (too hard to get thru the injectors). We had been using #2 pump diesel, but the new formula has no lube in it...we are trying a new home brew. Current fastest 1/4 diesel is another Cummins...Scheid Motorsports rail. 7.55 @ 183 MPH. Here is a video of us at Atlanta this year racing the the guy thats going to shoe the Banks rig pictured above....only the second time 2 Pro Diesel trucks went head to head. We lost the first one.... http://video.competitiondiesel.com/recentv...83c00ab1df9.htm Edited December 17, 2006 by lpreston (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently working on a D-max powered roadrace truck which we will be out testing this next friday. It is impressive to see a diesel make that kinda speed in the 1/4. Claiming worlds fastest diesel is way to general of a comment though because we also have a worlds fastest diesel. They are both completely different types of racing. Ours holds the top speed record at 222mph for a street legal sport truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpreston Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) No offense taken. We actually can't wait for more people to come out and play with. I didn't post the video...I think the cop that we raced did. The Dr Performace truck out of Houston has the record for a pickup in a 1/4 mile. I've seen the race between Sidewinder and the Corvette....poor Vette owner...lol. I'm not the driver...just the internet jockey, assistant wrench and electronics goon. My huevos ain't big enough....I'd need beer to get behind the wheel and we all know what that does to reaction times....

Jonmalibuss Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 If this works here is the video he is talking about of the Dakota Sidewinder blowing the doors off of a vette. Video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Mike Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 This is the worlds fastest diesel truck, Banks has a way's to go although the Sidewinder is a nasty Pickup Truck. The Phoenix 272.685 MPH Details http://www.ugofadini.com/phoenixstory.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpreston Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) The question is, is it street legal? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd venture to say it's not. This one is tho....since this pass he has been 10.33 @ 136.73. Not bad for 6180 pounds of production pickup. http://www.krylonracing.com/pace/Prince1104.avi Edited December 18, 2006 by lpreston (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
