Heath is going to Bonneville.....

[qwomack]

Bill has built a 6.5 powered truck to take on Bonneville. Check it out.

i would have thought there would be an IC after the turbo's?

 

[qwomack]

I thought that was odd too. But Bill knows his 6.5's. There must be a reason why he's not.

 

[DEERE3594]

Wow thats purty!

 

[ghitch75]

i think water/meth.....remember reading that in gm-diesel mag. after i posted..

i like them twins!!!

 

[qwomack]

Nope, just water. Bonneville won't allow methanol. But why water injection instead of IC?

 

[qwomack]

Wow thats purty!

Those headers are sweet!!!

 

[Schwind]

Does anyone know the complete specs on that engine is it 18:1 or 21:1 are those TD's turbo's etc.etc.

 

[Primer]

The article says its 21.3:1. It's a nearly stock engine.

I can't find Heath in the 2008 results, Did he not make it?

 

[qwomack]

Bonneville is September 17 - 20. It'll be another couple of weeks.

 

[Rhinopkc]

I thought it was Aug 18-24? SCTA website doesn't mention any event in Bonneville in September, only August and October.

 

[qwomack]

His website says "World of Speed Event Sept. 17th - 20th".

Less weight and less piping. More piping leads to turbo lag, and more clutter under the hood. For an engine that isn't going to be run on long grades where the IC method is needed for long periods. Water injection is a much better option for IC when it is only needed for short periods. Another thing to think about is by the end of the run there will be almost no extra weight in the truck from his IC method. I also see he has a DS4 IP, guess BILL doesn't have any qualms with technology either.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool myself. Not only that, but he is running a F.A.S.S system with a modified version of his Max-E-Tork programming.

I wish I could afford to fly to the flatts and watch this.
I also cant wait to read the end results.

Hehe, i already tried to buy a set from him...... not gonna happen, at least the other day it wasn't 16:

 

[Gunner0812]

If things go well. Alot of proformance parts should be hitting the streets! I can almost hear the sounds of dropped jaws!

Since we are on the subject of future Heath products, would the culprits responsible for pre-ordering/badgering Heath into selling the first few CAI kits raise your hands?! :toetap05:

Last conversation I had with the Heath guys, they had already promised a couple of the early products to people, and sadly I am not one of them!
