Question - Boxler SSD

Is Boxler's tractor affected by the new NTPA SSD rule? New rule states 540 cui max if three pressure stages (four chargers). Does Boxler's current tractor have three or four chargers? Also, watching him run it sure seems he is pushing more than 540 cui. Just curious if the new rule affects Boxler or any of the other exisiting DSS. Boxler's was the first to come to mind thinking about who might be affected by this.

Last I knew the Special had three very large turbos on it. I'm not sure where their cubic inch are at, but I talked with Hans a few years back, and they had tried just about every combination you could think of with that motor. I'm not sure where they settled, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the 570 range, but that's just a guess in my part. No matter what their cubic inches, they should be unaffected by the 540 rule in 2010 with the 3 charger setup. On a side note, The Boxler's are some of the nicest people you'll meet at a pull, and I was really glad to see them pick up a win on the GN circuit this year... maybe if Hans or Kevin could draw a number higher than 1 (and not be the test hook) they might have just picked up another won or two.
To anyone who may be building a DSS - I'd expect that in 2011 the 540 rule gets modified to include all multi-charger Diesel Super Stocks, so builder beware.

Thanks Jake. Boxlers are always fun to watch and when they are hooking is definitely not the time to leave your seat.
Do you know what dss tractors are for sure effected by the new dss rules? DPS |

Yes indeed the Boxlers are great people. Starting to make more power than the rest of the bunch and knocking on the door and now they want to punish them. The politics at NTPA continues. Wake up NPTA before you are swallowed up by PPL |

This rule doesn’t affect Boxler’s tractor, so I don’t see how they are being punished. Jake Morgan Owner, PULLOFF.COM Independent Pulling News This page is a free service.

Personally, I’m all for a 540 in DSS, regardless of the number of turbochargers or pressure stages. Big cubes have caused too many problems in too many classes. A 540 cubic inch limit is still big, but a little more reasonable. Jake Morgan Owner, PULLOFF.COM Independent Pulling News This page is a free service. The cost is covered out of my pocket.

Okay now what ? I know of two Steigers or Cats being built whichever you prefer with 3306's in them. Big cubes , good blocks now they will have to decube for diesel ss. Looks like the door is closed for new ideas. How about the big Deere out east him too. |

I believe anything over 540 cubic inch, and to the 650 limit is only restricted by the number of turbos (3) and two pressure stages. I should say this is the way it was mentioned to me. I will also say it wouldn't matter if the tractors aren't teched correctly. |

Again, this rule does not affect Boxler's. The word I've gotten was the rule was thought out so it WOULD NOT affect any current GN regulars... meaning it would not affect BOXLER'S.

Jake not all regular super stock diesel pullers were asked about their thoughts on the cubic inch propsal. The powers to be that decided this had no clue what the current competitors were and or are currently running cubic inch wise. |

something does not seem right about your statement. I dont think the members would vote to cut the pullers throates and decube them. Maybe there something I dont understand |

Its all about winning and protecting the system that helps you win plain and simple. Just think if someone perfected a 600+ motor running on four turboes, that would upset the regulars. But no instead lets all go out and spend $14,000 on a hyper block and keep it under 540. Too bad we can't find the potential of the big block deere and the 3306 cat. |
