We can hardly wait to get Chris Pisa's "JDI Powered" Yamaha Vmax-4 Snow Drag Mod, back on our mobile Xtreme Dyno LLC track dyno, spinning over 10,200 RPM's!
We posted his testing video last year pre-season. This sled is completely tuned straight off our track dyno, from timing, fuel, and clutching. With over a few hundred thousand views; we had the top FB "experts" kind enough to give us their opinion on how it needed to be "clutched" differently. But, we were happy where it was at, and the results gave us what we were hoping for all season, with consistency and multiple wins at various MESC snow drag events, and other events as well.
So what's next? Why is it coming back? For years, Chris had to run the small power/MPH-robbing 8-tooth drivers, due to limited tunnel clearance. This past spring, JDI had one off "drop and roll" chaincase templates built, allowing us to run 10-tooth drivers on a shallow tunnel Vmax-4 chassis, and long 2" Hellavation Traction Products. Thank you to our long time friend and fabricator, Mike Murchy at Tri-M Welding & Fabrication in Chetek, WI for the great work as always, on executing the drop and roll fab work.
It should be most interesting to see what this Vmax-4 ET's and MPH's in 2027!
