The Dmax has a built motor also but as seen by the pics and video it is still very streetable. A streetable/useable vehicle that is fast impresses me much more then a drag vehicle.

OMG that video made me nauseous. I cropped it.

I think when the truck took off like a bat out of hell the video guy was staring at some chic in the stands.

The engine is built, but running a stock cam. Crower Rods, modified OEM pistons, ported heads, head studs, high-speed valve gear.

Stock fuel injectors. For real. 3 times the factory engine output. Kinda like an LS1 Camaro making over 900rwhp with stock injectors. Experts say it could not be done. But I am hard of hearing...

Damn those things look like they 60ft like crazy!

I've always wanted to know where all that unburnt diesel goes when it settles. They should clean the track after one of you guys runs.
