OK guys hope this doesnt come across as tacky. Some people like stockers, some people like to boondock climb jump pose etc..... Its all fun and sledding is just a great sport altogether. Me, real simple, I like HP. Im sure some of the tards on the forum will jump in here with there banter but I dont care. I gotta thank some of the peeps that helped me get my beast back together cause it was a big deal.
Thanks to Simons CPR for doing a kick a$$ job on the motor. Simons CPR the Original Superman Block(tm)
Thanks to B1Dodge (snowest) for helping me reassemble the motor from boxes of parts that have been in my garage for almost 2 years.
Huge thanks to the crew at SPS Racing for countless hours of refab in the shop for the past 2 weeks.
Thanks to the cool peeps on Ty4stroke for being such a great resource!
Thanks to my family for living without a Dad for 2 weeks.
Thanks to Boss Noss for providing incredible Nitrous system for this beast.
Thanks to Kevco (snowest) for naming her with such a cool name.
Thanks to ACmtncat(snowest) at Summit Graphics in Orem Utah for the sweet graphics!
A little history on the TReX. You dont have to read if you dont want to.
2 years ago almost to the day the trex had a nitrous backfire which took out a rod, piston and motor. Right after going undefeated at the fairview shootout in 07 I was trying to start the sled to ride back to the truck and the battery was dead (garbage Batcap battery.) Trying to save power for a jump start I disconnected what I thought was the hand warmers but turned out to be my nitrous switch. BOOM!
That summer I sent the block to Simons CPR where it sat for over a year on the shelf. Jeff was very cool about it and didnt lose any of my parts! About a month ago I called Jeff and told him I was finally getting around to putting my racer back together. He busted it out and got me the motor right away so we could begin reconstruct. The motor work was perfect, thats all, it just looks bulletproof!
After a week with B1doge (top fuel mech) from Snowest reassembling the motor I took the sled over to SPS Racing for some serious refab. We installed a new turbo, refab'd the intercooler, modded the rear suspension and basically worked the sled over front to back. We made so many changes to the turbo system that it can no longer be considered an mcxepress but now is a custom SPS Turbo. SPS Racing does Polaris Dragon Turbos, Razor Turbos, any custom EFI turbo, suspension work and metal fab work. Brook Beckstrom the owner is a former world champ hillclimber for team Polaris and a well respected guy out here in the west.
The Boss Noss Nitrous system capable of an estimated 200 hp was all in working order and simply had to be cleaned up a little bit. It works so well I decided to take my water methanol off, I simply dont need it. Jims Nitrous flat out works. After 2 years of sitting in my garage my custom "hold my butt in the sled" Boss Seat looks like new as well!
Im out of time with the shootout on saturday. I dont have any more clutching to throw at it so Im gonna have to hope for the best. Shootout may be a bust with the blizzard like spring conditions we are having right now but we'll see. Ive had her on the snow for a quick test run to make sure she ran and she ran good. Ive been having a little low end prob, possible residual issue from the backfire. Last night we thought we got it cleaned up but you never know. Now Im just hoping she runs well and holds and all is done right.
