They are so dirty the EPA pushed them out.

Pretty sure no one says that

​they definitely do lmao@@zachpearce3180

@@zachpearce3180 Oh iv heard and read more than one person say it, that and they only suck down fuel and make noise. Mainly from those that if its not a cummins or a cat engine then its garbage. No different than the chevy vs dodge vs ford guys.

@@raginroadrunner Thats not really saying much though. The EPA would have us pushing carts by hand if they could have their way.

What your hearing is the engine "stuttering" I call it, from EGRing itself within the air box. The one pass the blower bypass actuator hose blew off so they didn't open.

​@@TheCrustyFatCabJason whats happening when you hit the switch with your other hand during launch?

@or-what that's the 2 step rpm limit w/post injection for anti lag

I noticed it was down on power.. when you get this beast dialed in its definitely gonna be a force to be recond with..keep it up brother

2 strokes.. Dont have valves

Its cut towards your buddy not toward your body

jimmy

leaktroits (nickname they earned cause they leaked oil like a harley or VW) built so much power when you drove them hard, you had to drive them like you were pissed of at them, they thrived that way. another nickname for them was "screaming jimmy diesel" cause they were so loud.

yup, had to drive them like you were pissed at them, hammer them hard and not let up.

I was about to ask the same thing. He's told me a couple times in the past, that the caddy work won't be done. Not sure why, unless he wants to keep it all based on oil burners exclusively, but I look at it as something mechanical whether diesel or gasoline doesn't matter as long as it's good content. Always interested in the old Gangster Caddies, especially if they have the biggest cubic inch stuffed under that 2 mile long hood I'd still be interested even if it didn't just cause those land yachts were just cool, same with Lincoln's of that era. So how bout it please 2 stroken

I've seen I skidding in New Zealand. But that was close to twenty years ago.

@@jeremygyles3492 Yea around same time for me too, parents built a burnout pad near Bundaberg around 22 years ago, we had Frnak and Bandag come a few times, my sister got to go in it a few times while doing burnout. Victor Bray did his first donut in his actual drag car at my parents track and after that went and built his burnout car, Brett Stevens also. Funny thing was Ben Bray used to drive their small hire car around our complex, he could barely see over the steering wheel lol.. I moved to Brisbane and lived in Salisbury and the Bandag Bullet used to sit in a shed near Salisbury wreckers, think was Franks business address.

3208

The v-12 is bigger852 cu in vs 736 cu in for 8v-92

12V71 commonrail was done maybe 10 years ago.

No autos allowed

@@TheCrustyFatCabthat’s disappointing. I grew up with small fleet of 8v92 with Allison. They were surprisingly quick.

Yea unfortunately they couldn't keep it together.

@@Ol2Stroker No indeed. They kept breaking blocks and cranks.

@@WieDrDerJonge likely due to the rpm limit of their class. They were pioneers!

@@Ol2Stroker 2900rpm is the limit. To bad because I really like their truck but the Iveco V8's and Volvo's are unbeatable.

Appreciate it.. Was a lot of work getting it road worthy but the combo is too cool. Cant go wrong with more vintage GMC's!!

@@TheCrustyFatCab What it the engine/trans/axle setup in the tow rig? Sure looks sweet!

@lukestrasser it's unfortunately not a Detroit, It's a big cam Cummins, 13 speed OD and 3.90 rears..

As if he was trying to heat soak the ole Detroit to me as well, because he never really tried to spool up until he'd had to back out twice, and caught him having to back down third time with his pants down for sure. I'd of made a point of just pointing that BS out to everyone. Cause he spooled up very quick when he wanted to finally bring it up on the turbos, not sure how the lights works as far as second bulb on staging lights. I replayed it three times to see if that's what was really going on, and it sure appears to be the case. It's bad enough with gasoline engines, but oil burner that could easily mean bad things happen because of that small minded BS.

Bahahahahah that's actually not up to me but that's pretty mint

@@Ol2Stroker yea i thought it was good. i'm a car guy your a truck. what else would the add you tube nailed that one.

@user-cg1ki9gt4p I'm all the above. Started with cars, love it all!

Absolutely. It's a bit large and heavy for a truck. But still of value. It's actually two 8V92 engines bolted together.

Not really sure what the valve springs will take, I would expect around 4k RPM. Currently the rev limiter is set to 3650 and we're shifting at 3500. Trying to keep it together for a little while at least

@@alscompleteoutdoor9091 believe it or not, a little backpressure on these engines actually raises the compression ratio a little. Our 318's with mufflers would always outpull our straight piped trucks.

Shifting at 3500, starting in 9th gear

Yes, single 6" stack rather than two 5".

It has a slipper clutch now, but this was the first time out with it. Takes some getting used to. It has full locking rear ends.

@@TheCrustyFatCab does the interlock work between the 2 rear ends? Seems you're spinning the front axle more than the rear one.

@KBS117 i can assure you all 8 tires are spinning. Hell the 1st race Friday we were going a little sideways at the beginning!

@@TheCrustyFatCab just thought the front axle was spinning more than the rear. The front rear axle gets lighter when the power hits the rear ends. Thought maybe you could get out of the hole a little quicker with the spider gears locked solid. Are you running an air bag suspension or a Rockwell spring system? If bags, a leveling valve for each axle might help keep the weight on both axles, but you would need quick dump valves so it could adjust immediately. Quite the setup you have. I've had the v8 71'S run away from idling for 2 or 3 days with the blower drain tubes plugged, filling the blower box with oil. They hit about 4 grand and float the valves. They will sit there doing that for about 15 seconds until they clear out the blower box. I know the sound they make when the valves float, and it seems like I'm hearing it a little when yours hits higher rpms. I'm thinking your valve springs may be getting tired or maybe you need stiffer ones? You could be loosing some high rpm power due to valve float? Also wondering if some different marine cams would give her more zing, as the land base cams are epa friendly and waste alot of fuel and air? You got the fuel to her, now you need to burn all of it. Just my experience speaking, and I would love to see that thing kick ass and take names everytime it rolls up to the line. Does your engine bypass the blower when the turbos spool up? I understand that's a 90 h.p. gain to relieve the blower of duty during turbo boost. Not trying to tell you how to do it, but I am curious as to your setup, as I really want to build one. I was thinking of using the hpop and injector system from a 7.3 or 6.0 diesel to do what your doing. The early 6.0 uses a hpop system that is independent of the engine. It isn't incorporated into the block, other than the pump is under the intake. It uses separate hydraulic lines to feed each bank of injectors. Nothing is built into the heads or block. On The latter 6.0's, that wasn't true. Anyway, good luck and give her hell.

V12 will be going in a different truck. We have more fuel available than it can burn. I just installed a new pair of turbos a couple days ago. Still trying to optimize the setup.

Its a modified 13speed, I don't stab the clutch, just lift on the throttle. Starting out on the high side, no range shift during the race.

No auto transmissions allowed in this type of racing

It wasn't wheel hopping much at all this year. Changed to new much softer tires, the burnout is just to clean the dust/dirt off them from the pits. Super singles don't work any better, there's a reason no one runs them.
