Nice truck. we need a 6four in Ontario to rep the ford crowd a bit. Last season Chris didn't pull his 7.3 I don't think and I didn't see any other ford's in pro street.

Yeah I skipped this past season. Twin trucks for sure.
Chris pulled his 7-3 at the beggining of the season. But Cory was drivin it to Belleville an some sh** Luck happened. It's back in an running now, excited to see it. I still have a soft spot for 7-3's after my last truck.

Hey man did you pull at Fergus this year? I'm pretty sure I remember meeting you in the pits after your pull

good choice going with Morgan for engine parts, he is a standup dude and will treat you right.
your truck is sooo clean-i love it. didn't you throw a code or something at Fergus? for some reason i think you didn't repull correct?

I think it puked a bit, or was that just the crew cab? I think more trucks broke that night than didn't

Yep it stalled out at the end and threw a wrench code, first time pulling with a 6.4 and i wasnt familiar with them yet so i opted to turn down the 2nd hook, learned after about 3 pulls how to ease out of the throttle at the end of the pull to keep it from stalling out lol
Thought maybe it had puked but i think it was just some grease/oil left over from the headstud job the week before the pull, didnt lose any coolant in the bottle in the last 8 months, the crew cab on the other hand lost almost all its coolant i think along with the fire under the hood lol
Theyre a steel wheel from pro comp, rock crawlers 17x9 with a 4.5 inch backspace, part# was 98-7987, tires are 315/70R17

Are you allowed to bump up a stock appearing turbo truck to this class? You honestly could probably run a LOT better with a stock appearing set up and make about 500+ ft lbs more of torque a LOT earlier

you cannot run compounds in this class. it specifically mentions 6.4's in the rules as no exception even though they are from the factory.

That sucks.. I'd take a truck with a 59/75 59/72 59/76 set up any day over a big single.

Is there classes that allow that? I've never heard of that before. Any rules I've read always state single 2.5-2.6-2.8 charger. Though I'm still learning a lot in WS and never questioned it. Although last summer I was at one brush pull in which I pulled work stock and then jumped up to 2.6. BC there were only 2 trucks and they paid 1st-3rd. Ended up 2nd LOL

Lots of places let you bump UP but not down obviously.
They figure you cant compete in a class above you right? I love turning heads in 2.6 class

That's true. They all laughed when I signed up. I just said worst I can do is 3rd and still take a payout. I guess I'll have to do that next summer play both classes accordingly.

I did that at marshall putnam county fair here in IL this year. I ended up cleaning out workstock/2.6/ and Open just because my truck kills it on long tracks that let you run. Ended up bringing home over 1000 cash for a hour drive, now that was a day!

We dont have too many diesel classes to chose from around here, pretty much just local diesel, pro street and pro mod. And yeah pro street is a single turbo class no exceptions, pro mod allows twin turbos but thats a heavily modified class, gutted interiors, hood stacks, cut body panels ,ect. Although pro street has a few trucks in the class now at or over 1000hp.

^^^^This makes me want to build my truck so bad. I'm the only local that pulls a 6.4L. Im like the OP I turn heads just showing up to a cumminGs/ duramax party. But a mildly built 6.4 would probably snap some necks.

Looking for some input on turbo choices here, i have a local guy trying to price me out some options, was looking at either bullseye double bat s372 t4 83mm turbine .90 exh housing, Borg warner s471 w/race cover 83.5mm turbine .90. Or the bw s467.7 fmw in a .90 or 1.0 a/r. Im hearing the 67.7 fmw will flow like a 72 but spool closer like a 66? any help would be appreciated thanks!
