Hi all: We are just back from World Finals at the Bonneville Salt Flats and while we are a bit tired, we are happy with all we learned. We wish to acknowledge the efforts of Paul and Maggie Weddle (Paveltolz) as well as Jamie Avant during this year’s Finals. They travelled far and worked...

Hi all, Well things didnt work out so well for us at World of Speed this year. Certainly, we had a good time there----you just cant help that when your on the salt, but our little truck didnt do so well. Starting with the first pass, it ran like jack-the-bear through 1st, 2nd and 3rd but...

Hi all, Thought you might be interested in our progress in getting ready for the World of Speed event. We are pretty short on time now with only 2-weeks and 3-days left before we roll out. The Diesel Depot engine is on its way by truck frgt and due in here about Monday next. As soon as it...

ooops-----forgot. Yes, same exact setup (turbos, programming, inj, gears etc). We run only pure diesel and water inj.

180 would be swell----but not realistic--yet. Given that this is an interim engine and one not exacty optimized to our application, we will be happy to run near our original 153 average (158 out the back door) speed. Certainly, we will do all we can to go as fast as we can at this event. A...

Hi all, we did do a video at the WOS 08 event, but then subsequently botched the disc and lost that recording. We are going to try to do a better job this year! We plan to do shots out front and out the back---those rearward views are alway quite cool. We had resigned ourselves to waiting...

We suffered an unfortunate phone outage that stopped both incoming and outgoing calls. Has to do with a change from one long distance carrier to another-----a change that was not quite so well coordinated as we had hoped it would be. So sorry for the inconvenience!!

There are no plans to alter the fan clutch mount system---sorry. I am not aware of any really good way to clean the mineral deposits out of the core. When we have one that is old and in trouble, we replace it with new as we have to have good cooling performance in our part of the world...

As it relates to heavy, uphill towing, we feel that the factory radiator is adequate, but no better. And this only if it is CLEAN IN and OUT. While the old-time practice of 'rodding-out' a radiator core provided some benefit in older, less demanding applications, this practice is not entirely...

Acesneights1 You state that you have our cooling upgrade but that an over heat problem still remains. Without your name I cannot have my guys look at the sales records, so do not know if you have the complete Extra HD System featured in the Maxx Torque article. If you have that complete...

We elected to use the older, 1995 version, low-volume water pump on the LSR truck in an effort to minimize parasitic loss. At the higher engine speed at which we operate the racer, we save 10-12 hp when compared to the later, hi-vol pump featured in our upgrade kit. At 4000 plus engine speed...

Hi Matt, Beacuse you roll heavy, I suggest our GLE programming for your truck. You will need to set the Turbo-Master to 12-13 psi at full throttle / 2500 rpm. If your injectors have any more than about 60-80,000 on them, I would replace them with high quality, standard output units. Also, be...

Hello all; I would like to take this opportunity to explain the change in pricing structure associated with the Max E Tork PCM's and PROM's. The primary goal was to reduce our customer's initial-cost, to make it easier for him to make the upgrades he needs. In the case of the '96 and...

Hold on Greg, I don't appreciate any suggestion by you that we have copied your work. There is no magic in the design of any such system. The idea of an improved oil cooler and line set is most certainly not a patented one. We have been developing an improved system, but needed a kit or two...

Missy, I have heard of this thread repair method, but have never seen it or known anyone who has actually used it. You seem to be quite impressed with it and your comments have piqued my interest. Have you or do you know those who have enjoyed success with it in the 6.2 / 6.5 mainline...

To make sure we are all on the same song sheet, the areas we are referring to are those 10 places that the 5 main caps mount onto. The problem we often see with these is that they are not square with one another front to rear or from side to side for any given cap---they are out of square and...

We will lay the cracked block asside everytime, saving it for more difficult times as we search for that which is not cracked. The engine in our 1995 racer is the original unit. The original owner had racked up 288,000 miles without having put a wrench on it and it still ran great. We were...

I missed a couple of questions---sorry. We use the regular 6.2--6.5 ARP head stud kit part number #130-4062. The main studs we use are unique to this application and we are working with ARP to make this a Heath part or at least a regular ARP offering. We prefer the older blocks with 12mm...

Thank you all for the kind words. We are pleased that you share our enthusiasm for this form of racing. Certainly, we were thrilled with our 6.5's 153 mph speed in Sept, however we do suffer some angst in the knowledge that we could and should have run up at around 157. We thought there would...

filled blocks, splayed mains and all that stuff We build engines only for our own use. We fill the coolant passages of every engine we build and have done so for many years. These are filled to a depth, which still allows room between the concrete and the under-deck, so as to allow...
