dont know if any of you watch powerblock..........but on trucks they got a dadge ram diesel........put a tuner nitrous intercooler intake and exhaust...........980something HP and maxed out the dyno at 1200 ft-lb's torque, dont know how high torque actually went...........those things are absolutely insane! i would say easy high 11's

yeah buddy of mine back form college had a turbodiesel ram... he had a little extra thrown on but not much and i think he ran low 13's the time he went out... with a full toolbok and other crap in the back... he said he had over 1000 ftlb to the wheels or something

bull crap....they are both supercharged 5.4L's, but it ain't the same motor.

ricklmesa@cox.net

Yea they run great! better than me supercharged! probobly (only on a track pavment though, streets another story) but its like the camary/ mustang thing. Yea the Camary is a little faster at times but its a camary!!! A mustang is a mustang, a camary is a "Im gunna go pick up the kids honey" or "Im gunna go to the store babe" type vehicle. A mustang is some what ment to be ran down the track. Them desiels are great but its a truck.... even worse its a truck for work... LOL Now a lightning thats a truck for the track!! I don't know but desiels bug me LOL!!! They run but I still don't like them. I understand how they get a kick over being just as fast as a car thats 10x's better looking and weighs a lot less but its a truck!!

Arizona is a truck state too so over here you get a lot of ******** that like to show that there desiel is fast and they floor it and it poofs out black smoke all over your car. I hate that!!!!, they do it on purpose too , I know they do. I hate the way they sound when they Idle, I hate the way they smell, I hate the thick smoke that they produce when they are boke in when they floor it, I hate how almost everyone who owns one has this thing that when they park and go into a store or something they leave it running like everyone wants to smell desiel fuel.

I think I hate desiels LOL

rick, youre so angry...

i grew up in hicksville way out in BFE... i didnt have a truck... but most my friends did... there, the contests are truck pulls and just backing your trucks into a circle around a fire/lake and drinking beer on the tailgate while we see who can make their truck the loudest... some good times

blackfoot

man i love diesel, everything you described that you hated, is what i love... but i love most is when people come up to me and tell me im burning oil... LMAO! i get a kick everytime..

diesel overfuel , hence the black smoke,.. if i was burning oil, it would be blue

ya the market for diesls is gettin quite out of control
they are gaining quite the reputation for being stripdown drag trucks
and the banks sidewinder is and the tip of it all running just above 12 at 115 mph
