They once told me the party dont start until you got 40+ degrees of timing in it.

@pddofficial Ай бұрын

I always seem to end up north of 40 degrees! So fun!

@ryantucker5903 Ай бұрын

Charlie had 52° in the black pro stock truck back in the day. I out ran him with 30°

When I was a kid and raced motocross I was my entire crew. It taught me quite a bit. Some rebuilds didn’t go as planned and I didn’t make events as well. As you said, I still had an amount of fun that you couldn’t put a dollar amount on. Even now as a professional in my field, I still make mistakes. An old timer once told me, every mistake is an opportunity to learn! Hate to see you not make the race, though. The truck sounded rowdy!!!

@pddofficial Ай бұрын

It was crazy rowdy! It’s going to work and be amazing when it does! On a side note I love moto

@Jim_Lawrence Ай бұрын

I miss motocross. I know that feeling you're describing. Nothing wrong with just getting it going, testing, and turning it up as you go...

This is why I order stuff from you guys! This is why I started watching you guys a million years ago!! Thank you so much for showing the struggle of motor sports. The struggle of juggling a family and doing cool shit! No one talks about that! Keep grinding!! Like you said nothing compares to it!!!!!

@pddofficial Ай бұрын

Thanks man, I try to keep it real and the demands of family life make racing hard. Just got to find the time when you can!

@BuildSomethingAuto Ай бұрын

I love watching these race prep and racing videos, even when it doesnt go as planned (especially then?). Keep these coming theyre awesome, even when you cant make a race! It lets me live vicariously through you, and really ramps up the temptation to keep browsing your website for some go fast parts of my own 😅

@pddofficial Ай бұрын

Prepping for a race is actually very fun…. Well until the things don’t go as planned! Glad you liked my story!

I have a 1985 BMW 524td with a factory 2.4L I6 Diesel that gave up the ghost after 12 years and 312,000 miles with an HX35(WH1C) it made about 268hp and 361 ft/lbs. I dream of putting one of your engines in it and get my shell back on the road as a mountain monster in the PNW.

Havent watched much here in a while. Aww man that sucks, sounded friggen amaxing. A few years ago i was soooo close to getting a full build parts from you guys. But then i bought a house and that went out the window. But im hopeful in a few more years to have the funds again. Love these videos.

Great jobs guys yall work hard thats for sure, and have stuck with it. I like the fact that yall are Very Transparent, man i was doing it from 1998 to 2010 when Everything was such a secret, when you learned something great the hard way and was kicking ass every weekend the last thing we did was spill our guts,, lol. Things got a little more relaxed on CompD after maybe 2008 or so...anyway best of luck to you guys! Still wish yall would ditch the transfer case and put all that power to the back like a normal drag car and learn the 2wd setup stuff. LOTS of e.t. on the table

@pddofficial Ай бұрын

I do think about going rwd. It just seems that it works great or not at all with these heavy trucks. Most trucks are 4wd though so it would really be fun to have an advantage

@ryantucker5903 Ай бұрын

1.30 60 foots at 4600# was fun. My black C10 and Stuckys green pick up along with a few others were just dialed in and worked..man do i wish I had my today's hot rod trans back then. Rossler 2.10 straight cut t brake of course and gear vendors o.d. I got my brother in laws truck back that he raced in Street Stock back then. It's a 1000+ hp 441" sbc it does pretty well on the street. Still having fun

@scmroman Ай бұрын

I just put a Steed on my truck using the Stage 8 studs. Doing it in the truck was a pain. The 6 top studs were easy but getting that locking tab on the bottom 6 when I couldn't see them took me like 30 minutes and about 10 trips under the truck to pick them all up after dropping them 🤣

What's the reasoning behind sleeving the engine down? Just thicker cylinder walls or more to it than that?

@Freecomments4u Ай бұрын

less mass = greater stability at higher rpm. lighter parts move faster and easier also increases and thickness of the bores making the block more stable.

@pddofficial Ай бұрын

Cylinder wash thickness. And the sleeve is a stronger material than cast iron.

@BentonL Ай бұрын

Cool story, but I figured this is a good time to give some product feed back. I would try Opti torque but they are nearly the same price as ARP 625 studs. After my experience with Xotic studs I wont risk all that work again over a $50 or so price difference. I am sure you guys could do a hell of lot better than 50 to 70 bucks price difference. If they were about $200 or more less I would absolutely cheap out and try them. I have another build I need studs for, so putting this out there. I probably wont get to that build until winter.

@pddofficial Ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback, however, they are not our product so we don't have control over how much they are.

@jasontrevis7142 Ай бұрын

How about you try Speed of Air pistons?

@pddofficial Ай бұрын

Crazy money for those things.

@jasontrevis7142 Ай бұрын

Compared to what you have spent on the current set-up? I would think that those slugs will give you larger tuning window and allow you to drive there, wind it up and be able to drive it home.

@bcbloc02 Ай бұрын

@@pddofficialleave a 1/4 nut on top of each piston for when you start it and you can make your own!! Lmfao
