MustangCat, you completely missed the point, your points were kinda valid, but we weren't discussing the price of diesel.
First off, get your head out of Octane land, the biggest difference between a diesel and a gas engine is that there is NO A/F ratio, you are at full air all the time, the air supply is not regulated at all (except for the boost controller), the throttle controls the rate of fuel and nothing else.
Second, 40 psi is not the norm for a diesel engine, the largest and most powerful Diesel engines on the road (tractor trailers) average around 25psi. Most light duty diesel trucks average less than half that. If you were to cram 40 psi into a cummins or powerstroke, you would be touching the 1500-1800 ft/lbs of torque range on pump Diesel.
Diesels have no use for nitrous, they have Propane (which is Nitrous for Diesels), which also happens to be cheaper.
And since you obviously didn't watch the video (come on, you would have at least commented on an 11 second 8000 pound diesel truck), you have clearly made up your mind already, so I won't argue with you any longer.
Because we all know what Einstein said.
