In the cab Moon can monitor the truck's vitals through Autometer NV series boost, trans, fuel pressure and pyro gauges. He has also installed a very cool turbo rpm gauge from Garrett. He says on a fuel-only run, his custom GT42R spins at as much as 130,000 rpm and he's seen it over 160k on nitrous runs. Speaking of nitrous, a single stage NOS kit has been installed for drag strip and dyno use. A Labonte Stage 2 water/methanol kit was also installed to help keep egts in check.
As for stats on the truck, it's done a best of 12.0 at 113 mph on fuel only in the thin air of Salt Lake City at Rocky Mountain Raceway, 11.5 at 118 on nitrous with just a single .50 jet. The best dyno numbers to date came from the 2008 Weekend on the Edge event where the LB7 put down a very impressive 828 hp and 1212 tq uncorrected on Edge's Superflow dyno. Not bad, considering it's just a large single charger and was run in 1:1 direct drive. As his daily driver, this truck is definitely something to be proud of, especially when you see his past pulling seasons results. Moon finished in first place at all but one of the pulls he competed in on the local circuit. He also placed second at the DHRA Utah Nationals in both the Super Street and Pro-Mod classes. The truck is definitely a force to be reckoned with, whether Moon is on the pulling track, drag strip or even flying by you on the freeway with his 24-foot trailer in tow.
Moon drives this truck to and from work every day of the week, races it at the drag strip on Friday nights and pulls with it on Saturdays. We think this truck fits Diesel Tech's daily driven performer requirements as good as any we've seen yet.
