Default diesel truck almost walked from me!

I was driving along a four lane highway, and along comes this chevy diesel truck. He kept reving up and wanting to race. We were already rolling at about 65mph. He slowed down and then came at me wide open. I almost didn't pull away from him. I really need to get the 20" rims off and get some mods under the hood. I know diesel's are fast but, I need more Power![sm=icon_flaming.gif]

A Dodge recently on the local dyno put down over 900 RWHP and more than 1200 Ft-lbs torque.

Yep seen a F250 run low 11's. 1000HP/ 1200Torque. Nothing but two steady streams of black smoke the whole 1/4 mile run. I think he could go quicker if he could get that truck to stick to the ground.

very true. my dad has an 05 dodge deisel 4 door 4x4. he added an edge tuner, an intake, and 4" straight exhaust.He now has over 500HP and 900 lb-ft torque. he beat my mustang when it was stock. my dad's truck is the reason i started modding my car; and i never looked back
