Good question. The 6.0 has issues, just like the Dodges and the D'max.
We have some tough tracks to pull on and it take's a lot of set-up and power to win.
The Ford's have the dreded front-end shake (D'max Tow-in) and the Dodges have a real problem creating enough wheel speed to get the sled moving at half track (except you, Mike) good job Mike, winning at the last pull. I have never figured out how Mike Peters pull's so well. He's got a set-up.

Forget Horsepower and putting a lot of power adders on your truck.

Work on the cheap stuff...........Tire pressure, weight distribution, gear selection, and don't forget to pick a good pull spot on the track.

If you can hook to the sled and drive your truck to the best spot's on the track, you can add feet to your pull.

Spend more time, track side. Take notes..........Damn, It ain't that complicated.

2 cents, from a has been puller.

i dont know what you pointing out by modified internals?are you accusing people?dont be scared of a 6.0 its just a 6.0 ! i think that if we can get it to hook it may be something special. and just for somebodys info who was accusing........the motor has all stock components...pistons, rods, and whatever else. next time if you have questions and yopu want answers just call me . its not hard to do . i aint gona lie to you . dont call other people looking for answers! and you know who you are. oh, by the way , what did ya'll think about the wheel of fortune? maybe one day the clue will change.

I think what Todd is trying to say is if you want to compete in the "Stock" class you need to have a Modified Stock Turbo. Which the top 2 or 3 already do... I didnt see him accusing anyone of anything!

Ease up... no ones out to get you... YET!

But you start winning with that Ford and I will have me a modded stock turbo! :D

Your awful defensive & you don't need to be, I haven't seen you hiding stuff. This is not about you or the 6.0
This could get good, I already know what's in there. & scared don't flatter yourself, it's bad but there is always better somewhere. I'll just throw a number out when you have ten 1st's then you can brag & you will deserve it. Forget any number when you win you can brag, This week was Mike & Kyles turn. After Zellwood it may be the same or different. When you win it's your time and so the world turns and life continues. I've already told you to be proud of that truck.
I was NOT talking about the 6.0 with my post. You have been up front about that truck. You can't find anybody though that I called looking for answers about anything built over there, oh ya I did talk to Mike about where he was getting hitch parts a few months back. I gave him my source that I thought was cheaper & that was that.
However you may be suprised who has called me. Also I am NOT the tech guy, it really doesn't matter what I say or think. I don't dwell or care what others are doing, I can't control that. After after all this I just reread what I said before...I said turbos with modded..oops I'm sorry I guess you just kinda admitted to that but I wasn't talking about the Ford. Sorry I wasn't accusing you. Your throwing stones the wrong way. I made a STATEMENT you want the definition between statement & accusing. I did not accuse anybody of cheating or anything.
Wheel of fortune? No clue what you mean by that

Kind of but no, I would be willing & always have been to have my turbo teched. I have offered many times we need a protest rule. I have a 100% un modified 2004 stock turbo. It has the same turbo for 53000 miles. The exact way it came from Red Hoagland. I do not have a modified but I have been told others do. I'm happy, no complaints my stock turbo holds it's own. Not another diesl truck that pulls with Keith has ever been torn down mine has & it passed. Like I said in my post I can not afford one.

dont call me definsive. that is not right , all i've been seeing is duramax's dominate over and over again. the MICHIGAN MADNESS winner get beat and im the bad guy and all my comments that were all in fun because i thought that is what this whole thing is about are turned around on me and im an aarogant a$$ as said in past posts. well lets return to some past posts then.... as said i think it was that someone was not going to show up then they decided to show up just to test some motor and tranny files. maybe that was backup just incase they did not win? just asking questions about all the talking io saw before the event and what i see after.dont take it rude , im just stating how i took what i saw and read... call me wrong , call me right . go back and read all these posts , because i know i have and thats why i said what i did.


thanks,
not trying to start crap, just trying to figure it all out .

If I could run a stock Dmax turbo I would too. Those things are amazing! But my wallet keeps me in an old outdated, much smaller one!
