It was a great day out at Garmon's Diesel! As always Jeff was a great host and David and Mike were running the dyno. Plenty of Dodges on hand, a few Fords and a couple of Duramaxes.


Here are some photos, and of course the obligatory dyno sheet. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

742.5 HP and 1445.9 TQ is not too shabby for a single box! The Kennedy VA 200+ with injectors and a good shot of N20 is an animal. The Quad 215/HJAT 145 stack with the injectors ran strong also.


http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/dyno3_Medium.jpg


Here is a run with just the HJAT 145 with injectors and another run with just the VA 200+ and injectors. The Juice fell off on the top end whereas the VA just kept pulling.

Here are all of my runs for the day. The truck was insane on the rollers when you hit the squeez

Wow 742HP .........http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif

Great numbers. Should have my gas done shortly.

What size flare jet?


4th gear run?

did having the tailgate down help the hp numbers?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

BMDMAX,


Great numbers! I can not believe how clean you keep your truck. You must really love it.


Questions. Did the Quad 215/HJ run at 476/905 use NO2 ?


Did you do any runs with NO2 and then without, all other items the same?


Just trying to figure out how much the bottled air helps?

Bronco,


The 476/905 run was just the HJ 145. It was not stacked with anything and was not on nitrous.


The biggest number I had that day on diesel was 508. The biggest gain we saw from the nitrous was 272 HP, and it never even cleaned up on those runs! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Shocked.gif


GJ, I don't think having the gate down helped too much but it was surely much easier getting to the bottle! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

LMAO... i was just funnin with ya...Great runs!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif

OIC. 2 different setups per chart then all combined on the last chart.


272HP from NO2. Whos gonna try multiple bottles with multiple nozzles.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

What were you using to extend the RPM's on the HJ and VA 200 runs ? Some runs go to 3150 and others to 3500. Looks like the injectors didn't do much on #2 from your old runs http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif but, boy it sure brought the NOS runs way up! Great runs with the NOS.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Very nice Brandon http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif And here i thought i was doing good with a 252 hp gain with the nos, damn that southern air http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif


Now you just have to get to that track and see what she'll do http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

DT,


I was using the Quad to get rid of speed limiter on all runs and I got the most extra RPM's when stacking the 215 tune. The low RPM run we actually let off on near the top.


Some video of the runs here:


http://bmdmax.u27.infinology.net/downloads/GDPLQ.wmvEdited by: BMDMAX

Wow, you've still got a tonne of smoke. Looks like the nos cleared it up some, but not alot. What jet are you running???? When i ran 2 high jets it would clear out pretty good, some blackish/grey haze......comparable to a 125hp edge probably.


What did everyone think?????? The dodge boys gotta be wondering if we are gonna catch them........as we're knocking on the door http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

The first run was on the bottle. It still seemed like it had a good bit of smoke. I was running a 90 jet, single stage.


The second run was just the VA 200+ and was smoking like a freight train. Of course, just like a little freight train compared to the Garmon drag truck.


All brand wars aside, it was kinda like Larry the Cable Guy: "I don't care who you are, that's a pretty good number there!" http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif Are you sure you didn't have a pull off that nos bottle http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif


All kidding aside, you've got a sweet ride and a great runnning truck........can't wait to see what the times are like, if you can keep her hooked http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gifEdited by: heartbeatcanada

Good job http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif


Bet u wish u had 4X4 now http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif


I think u are really going to have trouble hooking now.

brandon i am going to try and make commerce ga on sepy 11th,you gonna be there?

brandon i am going to try and make commerce ga on sepy 11th,you gonna be there?


I am pretty sure I will be there.

Good running!


Shows pretty clearly that the 470-500ish range is about it for #2.


Also seems that stacking yields pretty low bang for the amount of added fuel. Also interseting to see the red lines go up earlier in the first 2 charts. Could be less overfueling with that tune http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Wink.gif


So I take it the dyno will not plot abouve 1400lb/ft?

I was running a 90 jet, single stage.




WOW 272 extra HP with nitous. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif I clean up the extra fuel from the Quad/Edge stack and stock injectors with a 59-62 jet (single stage). Are you spraying the nitrous in at the IAH? On the track you would need a progressive controller with a single stage setup or a two stage setup to make that big of a jet work IF you could keep hooked up with the 2 wheeler.

got to love it.........you are the man......http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif.......I might get to go to commerece.......Been in South Dakota for the past week and work at home and at the office is stacking up..........I would love to cross paths with you(Brandon), Jess and Buck. Things seem to be cooling off here.........I look for your numbers to increase as the daily temps cool off

Great Job Brandon. Brandon just snatched my dyno record from Opie when he made 738 at Muncie. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif


John, I was running my older software which I like better. And it caps at 1200/1200.


The southern air is horrible for making power with diesel only. I see it over and over. With Brandon's truck, you could see the injectors were adding fuel, but there was not enough air to burn it. Of course that bottle fixes that problem real quick. You could see the injector gains better with the HJAT #2 run. On previous runs with stock injectors, I believe we saw 420hp. With more air, we probably would have seen better than the 470 range we got on injectors IMO.


Let me tell you guys, when I hit that button, the run was over!!!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif Look at that darn torque line go straight up to 1200. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Thumbs Up.gif


I hope a ton of you guys come to the Atlanta Race Sept 11. Should be fun, Brandon can tell ya, I root for anything that makes big power and goes fast. That is really all that matters to me, not what brand it is.


Correction factor Saturday was 1.02 last time I looked.


Thanks for everyone that came out. I had fun being able to BS more Saturday than on most shop days.

I was running a 90 jet, single stage.

Yup, spraying right in the IAH. I was not able to start the spray until about third gear with a 60 jet on the stock injectors. I have trouble hooking just on diesel so this setup at the track might be a bit scary. I guess I am gonna find out! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Rock On.gif


You are right though, a good progressive controller would be the right setup.

Good job Brandon. Keep up the good work and good luck at the track!

It pretty clear that they started the red runs lower in the RPM band, that's the only reason it goes up sooner.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Disapprove.gif

Great job Brandon!

Brandon,


Nice NOS runs for sure...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif That makes it even more temping!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif


Did you run all your dynojet runs in 5th gear like the two in the video? i'd be curious how much difference it made if you ran some in 4th? or was that the standard for the event?


Great work again on the 742!

All of the plots are 5th gear runs. David and I almost always dyno in 5th. We have tested in fourth as well and see very little difference between the plots. I guess it was the standard since no other Duramaxes went up on the rollers.... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif


I remember the first time I saw a Mustang hit 700 on spray on David's dyno and it was a rush just watching it. Sitting in the cab of a diesel truck and doing the same was even better! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif

That was one of the fastest dyno runs I've seen! Great job Brandon!

I was over prett dang fast. I think the sweep took just over 2 seconds. The whole truck lifted and the needles shot straight up. Definitely not for the faint of heart..... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

WOW... Holly "smokes" Brandonman! I have never seen 742.5 HP and 1445.9 TQ out of a Duramax with just one little ol'e shot! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif You must have a Wednesday truck.


That's FANTASTIC! Can you stick a vid in the truck for your first race? Oh yeah, turn the camera twards you.... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

BMDMAX Popped my cherry now I am hooked





He put the juice on my truck and let me run down the road and BLOW SMOKEhttp://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif Wow that was fun spining the tires in third gear

Ah, but not the #2 only runs where the blue line started first, then the red line crossed it...

does anyone know what the garmon Dakota #'s were?

does anyone know what the garmon Dakota #'s were?


Not that it really matters but that is the Drag Truck. The Dakota went bye bye last year.


The drag truck made 664hp on #2 only. We have been testing a few things down here and that was one of the dyno's to varify a few things. Time for more dense cool air. This darn southern air just really kills power when trying to make power on #2 only. Jeff's goal is 750ish on #2, THEN he will shoot it with a little NOS.

Sick, that is the scariest dyno I've ever seen, I hope you have really good tie down straps. I have to get off this site, this D-Max is putting all my other projects on hold. Diesels are bad m'kay.

My own goal is 700 on #2


IIRC the CP3 pump runs out of fuel much past that.


much over 750 RWHP on the stock pump... hmmm... i honestly don't think it is possible... but thank goodness i have been wrong before!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

Congrats Brandon! Great runs man! Things can't be argued so much any more. Like I said before, were here weather they like it or not.

You know it Super! Feels good to be in the 700 club with ya! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif What was the final word on your engine? Was it just a gasket or was there more damage?


I know you will be back bigger than ever. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif

Blown head gasket only. I took the motor totally apart and have installed new bigger and better components (my own construction). It will be next year before I do any thing big again. I'm proud you are carrying the flag for us. Keep it up.

September air is generally cool up here. A bit damp in the mornings, but cool and crisp. We'll see how Brandon's truck likes it in September.

Thanks! I am sure you have plenty of wick room on your truck too, I bet we will see an 800 number at Muncie next year. Nothing like a looong winter for getting them tuned up!

Brandon,


I wouldn't doubt we see mid 800's next year. Thanks to some help from my injector guy I am shooting to join the 800 club later on this month. It is very cool to see the DMX's in the top hp scene.
