Is that a 13.8? In a dually! Very respectable!

 

Dang. I'd work with whatcha got there.

 

thanks alot man. this was last year. first time out.. i had my efi live tuner with me and we got it down to 13.67 later that nite.

 

eh, im just done with the diesel thing..its fun but extremely expensive..theres 5k just in the tranny..i could build close to 3 60E's for that.

 

Yeah thats no ****! I know ! 4500$ in trans, 1000$ in tuning/software, lift pumps, still havent touched the motor/turbo in my DMAX. But she runs!

Thats one reason i came back to gas trucks, less expensive to build engines, but i love both.

BTW welcome and that is a badass dually !

 

That is def. impressive. Welcome aboard and you look like you know what you are doing.

 

nice looking rig brother!

 

exactly! you know what im talking about then! im at the point where im ready for more fuel, and a bigger charger, but a bigger cp3 runs 2k, turbos are between 1500-3000, and really the bottom end of a duramax can only hold 600-650 safely, so that would be sooner or later after the previous mods i listed and that gets into the 3k range for rods and pistons. and really i dont think its worth it when i can take a 5.3 with bolt ons and a little spray and get into the 12's-11's for a 1/4 of the price.

 

thank you sir. ive always been a high horsepower speed freak. been working around cars since ive graduated highschool. first car was a 74' nova, i choose the parts and built the engine by myself, when i was 14. went to college for diesel technology, and now i have a career as a diesel mechanic. this is just in my blood...but anyways thank you for the welcome and hopefully i can get much needed info about this future built i have planned. hopefully ill start on it in the next month.
