Ok it may not sound like much but the guy with the turbo diesel was impressed he said he was running 535 horses and he just installed a new chip so it was prob running over 600+ horses. Me and him were at the stop light and this brand spankin nwe cummings turbo diesel sped past me so he got it off the line and then I pulled right passed him. He told thats a fast little car cause he had the pedal to the floor I was pretty happy. It may not sound like much but I thought it was cool.

Those turbo diesels can haul some major ass. I use them at work all the time. Especially the new 2004 F-250's. Hauls assssssssssss! I want one, but WAY to expensive. It was a 45k truck.

there's a dakota that runs regularly at commerce dragway. he shoehorned a CTD in there, and it runs low 12's. It was such a tight fit, he had to put the radiator in the bed of the truck.

kick ass..... nice kill

Turbo diesels are about torque, not horsepower.



Put 2000 lbs of weight on a towhook on your RX7 and one on him, I guarantee his ET wouldn't have changed.



Work trucks up here are 14.9L engines making about 475-500 hp and 1,800 ft/lbs torque.

Eyxom 04-10-2004 06:39 PM

Yea most trucks (ex. SRT-10) have a lot of horsepower, but their tranny's are built more towards torque and towing. Don't get me wrong, they're still quick. But they're not Vipers either.



Good kill none the less. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Sounds like my dads turbo diesel excursion.. I never thought that thing could move until I drove it.. amazing what a superchips stage 2 and cold air box can do for a turbodiesel.. Paced a turbo supra at 100 comfortably rolling from Baton Rouge to New Orleans.. made the trip in record time.... Good Kill by the way..

Good kill...although I'm sad to hear that a TD was the victim.



<3 Cummins.
