    This is a video for one of our dial in runs at St Thomas raceway this summer. The fastest we ran that day was 15.8 92 mph. If you look at the rear tires, We were having traction issue on this run. Once we got the rear end set up right it launched better. ( sorry about the end of the video, Could not find a program to edit)

    The owner works it and with 3.36 gears, he also runs 90 mph everywhere. He got caught a few times and slowed down a bit. We shift with the jake to drop the rpm faster for quiker shifts. Some guys think its back firing on shifts but it the jake brake on.

    I wired the jakes direct like a older 3406b, the cat computer does not apply the jake fast enough.

    How long would you think the turbo will last???
    I thought the turbo was the weak link on the C-16.
    I have just been watching some truck drags on you tube how come your engine burns a lot cleaner,mine was like that ''smoke then burn clean''
    is it all down to tuning or are the other ones running huge HP????
