Well guys, I'm gonna make the grand run on what's left of my transmission tomorrow night at the track

I will be running my Edge module, water injection with a 20/80 mixture, my newly up-and-running C02 intercooler sprayer (homemade, but it works ), a switch on the wire running to my tranmission line pressure regulator (at loss of power, transmission maxes out available pressure) and a switch on my converter lockup.

With the switch on the line pressure regulator, the shifts are so hard and fast with it deactivated that the Edge module does'nt even have time for it to defuel; it will bark all 4 of my brand spanking new Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's (got them yesterday) when shifting in 4x4. I can lockup the converter directly following launch for some extra torque to the wheels ( I have'nt tested this significantly, but it feels like it pulls harder so far)

I will have all 4 stages of the water working, as I fine tuned the system tonight. I have only given the truck one shot of the C02 earlier and it *seems* to have an effect but I really have no idea at this point. The entire system is very primative, and will take alot of work to get functioning well. I will still, however, use it tomorrow.

I have literally stripped everything possible off the truck. Spare tire, skid plates, brush guard, running boards, trailer hitch and reciever (I have NEVER seen bolts harder to get out than those), passenger seats, rear seats, front and back bumpers, and tool box. I also have the exhaust stripped off at the downpipe for more weight savings and more freely flowing exhaust.

I do not have a clue how I will run, but I do know this - with the weight gone, the module on level 5, and the water on, this truck has never been faster. It could blow up before I get off the line, but if I can make everything function perfectly, I will be able to make my fastest run ever in this vehicle.

Guys, please wish me luck
I'm gonna need it to keep this transmission in one peice.

 

I also have a little secret bolted under the hood, that I borrowed from a friend two days ago and have decided against my better judgement to use

It has been discussed too much, and was just stuck in my head...when I ran across the opprotunity to use it, I just couldn't pass it up...I hope I don't replay motor #1

I'll inform everyone on what it is depending on how my time is

 

WooHoo....
wish we could put crew for you !!!
sounds like fun...

And while you're there, watch for a v-10 to see how much they'll beat you

 

Have fun!...and I'll send good vibes that it all stays together!

 

Good luck PSD 60L Fx4...

Once you have run, could you please share what this little secret that you have bolted under the hood is?

Like my dad used to say "She's gonna go or she's gonna blow" hammer down!

 

Good luck @ the track young friend.

From what you describe you might want to take your girlfriend, push broom, & a dust pan wid ya...

...wish I could be there to watch all the the jaws drop to the asphault as they witness your launch.

Be safe.

And in the famous words of Woodstock..No rain, no rain, no rain...

You did read about Woodstock in the ancient history books didn't you?

 

I am curious why you bothered to take off so much stuff on the truck.... 100 pounds shed roughly could equal about 1 tenth. I don't know thats what everyone does when they take imports to the track. I know you are trying to make your best run ever but if thats not how your truck is going to stay than it isn't the same to me atleast

 

I PROMISE... the serious ones go on a PERSONAL diet even to lessen weight

I've seen it !

 

Good luck!

A video of the run would really neat to see

 

Bring it home in one piece

 

please post some time slips if you could ,your mph is faster than my 11 sec 1/4 dmax.and with just an edge and water meth?either it is the badest ford ever or your truck is a freak.my 04 ford f250 with a superchip and 160 and nos only runs in the low 8s in the eight and i have a built transmission...hmmmmm ..i may order some water meth tommorrow.i also have a ford 6.0 motor sitting in my shop to bomb out and put in my truck,i havent been able to find any one to do any work on it yet as far as new rods or twin turbos or anything.even when i called the links you provided i was told these items wouldnt even have r and d begun on them for several months.........what gives....not trying to flame just trying to figure some things out....

 

WELCOME to the site, please read the Guidelines… Check out the list of forums and make sure you read the headings and Read First: notices in each forum.
Enjoy FTE

 

I hope the run when good, I can't wait to hear the results.

 

My time slips from a while back are in my gallery, I was running 8.4 with NOTHING but Superchips, exhaust, and water.

The parts are not available yet; if you will notice that has been the biggest issue I have been having in trying to milk mine for more power. The twin kits are actually available, but the interals and studs are not...the engine simply will not endure it without the parts. I am still waiting on rods, pistons, and most importantly head studs.

I will post my time slips from tonight, which are just ungodly, but then again I have no 3rd and 4th gear right now, since I apparently ripped something out on my third pass. I will post the slips in a day or two along with a report on my transmission, as it will be in the shop for the next few days starting tomorrow.
