so im happy for u walter but.... how many passes before it caught fire????
It was all smoke really. The guys where there with the extinguishers while it was smoking, and nothing happened at first. Then I guess the heat caused it to flash, kinda like a poof. No big flames, just a poof then they hit it with the extinguishers in like 2 seconds. Not even any burn marks. I have it cleaned up with degreaser, and you cant see any damage to anything..... LOL
It happened on pass two. I was having wastegate issues. It was at 13-14psi on pass one. Then I tried to turn up the boost. So I turned it in 3 turns, and it went down to 12psi. Its a 14-17psi spring, so Im like WTH? Someone said give it 3 more turns, did that and went down the frontage road, and boost went back up to 13.5 psi again. So I gave it about 3 more turns, and ran out of time to test, so I just went in line as the last call came for the fastest SS vs cobalt races. Forgot to look at the boost on the run, but the data log had 11.6 to 11.7 on all the WOT stuff, which is 11.4 to 11.5 actual as the wideband doesnt match HPT perfectly.
No knock either on the 115 octane. That stuff is awesome for anybody who is curious. Was running 16 degrees timing at peak torque, and 18 degrees at WOT. Thats with a 10.9 compression motor on 13.5psi of boost. FWIW I was at 11 degrees across the board on E85, was still adding timing when I bent the crank. So dont know how much is left with that, but Im going back to E85, and adding another pump, and if needed, bigger lines and see how much I have left in the injectors when I get this running again.

Walter... I just read this....and noe I'm calling you out and a flat out liar.
We were both down there and you had 24-36" flames rolling from the front passenger side. I Even had to yell
At you after you didnt listen to the track official to get away from your truck and let the crew do their job to put out the fire as you were running in circles literally Opening doors, not sure what that would have accomplished. It's time for you to get real...even after all this, you're still talking hypotheticals, what-ifs, and just garbage. Stop talking....period. It is what it is. It's funny not one guy at the track saw this tire lift that you speak Of either on your magical unicorn pre-launch run. Even the announcer made fun of your staging. I think it's funny that a grown man such as yourself talks as much trash and nonsense as you do. And for you to even start comparing your truck in any way shape or form to Kurt's it ludicrous at best. Get a grip man. I said it before, and I'll say it again, youd be fine if you'd just do what it does....and stop talking.

He was DQ'd tony since it was a true elimination round and he blatently redlighted. I have the slips...it has no times of any use on it...just the 1/4 mile time and trap which are both useless at that point.
So what was the 1/4 and trap?
He didnt make it all the way down
Congrats Walter. For what youve got in your truck, it ran pretty dang good.
So the Maggie trumps the Turbo... AND it ran all day. I dont like you Kyle, but I like your truck, and it fuckin runs. Cant wait to see pics and vids of this years Nats.

I have to agree with Kyle, I have a hard time beliving an AWD truck pulled a front tire on an 11 second pass.
Walters truck is not as much of a budget build as he was once calling it. I think he is closer to 10K than 2K.
Another thing Walters budget build still has not held together for more than a week.
Kyle has raced his truck last year and this year now running 10's both last year and this year.
Something to be said about NOT doing a budget build.
