Couldn't resist.

Went to BD dyno day. Weather was good, had a friendly greeting from the guys at BD and the food was good.

I was curious to see what hp I could get out of Piers 1992 loaner engine was capable of. The engine is stock other than regular POD's (was tempted to put in the reworked POD's but didn't ) and my custom diaphram pin.

Results. Made 3 runs over 325hp with 328.3 hp being the best ;D

Bushwakr made some good hp too, but will let him post his results. Way to go Bob.

Re:Couldn't resist.

You know, I woulda thought that lunatic would have left the numbers alone till we caught up, but nooooooo........ ;D

All I can say, in all honesty is, way to freekin go mark ;D ;D ;D...now, who says these VE's are limited to 250, 275, 300, 325, ???,??? wanna know what he's gonna try for before his new motor goes in..... just watch..

I'd also like to express my sincere appreciation to Piers from PDR... if it wasn't for him giving out his tips, some tricks, and a heck of a turbo build, it would not have been as satisfying a day today. PDR and the crew, as well as nascar mark, young mark, harry, et all, have really been helpful all the way along.
I feel like family when I go out there, I ask a question and its expained, you can even get a sort of &quot;demo&quot; on some things that many would not tell you about if you didn't know in advance to ask... GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT PRODUCTS !!!

Re:Couldn't resist.

Thanks Bob and Monty,<br>Bob, your 284 hp is not far behind. Guess I shouldn't have let you and Old Smokey in on some of my tricks. :'( Now I'm going to have to step it up a little more before my monster motor goes in to keep you the animals off my back for awhile. ;D

Great numbers Mark. Keep up the wonderful work in getting more HP &amp; TQ out of these motors. As everyone has said, great people, great products. They stand behind what they sell and will always take the time to explain something to us.

Re:Couldn't resist.

Thanks Scott,<br>While I'm waiting on parts for my big motor I got bored and started messing around a little and now I have a friendly competition with Brian Block who is running custom inj's and a modified B1 turbo. Need to step it up a little to match his parts and see what one of these engines are capable of.

Re:Couldn't resist.

Mark is gonna be some choked when he see's that I've given away one of his secrets.... but what the heck...

The way to get that last bit of HP out of your truck is this...
do like mark, get two great honkin big dogs... 4 legs X 2 dogs=4 sets of pedals going around very fast, that coupled with a set of gears off a 15 spd mountain bike, and you've got it made in the shade..... ;D

I saw the porkchop box on his front seat last weekend...
