On the graph there is only a hp curve, but the #s say 1020 hp and 1728 tq. I'm assuming theyused the hp #s and rpm to estimate tq.

 

that would be nice for fuel milage. i'd rather see them offer a turbo on the gas engine though.

 

That's insane. 1700ft/lbs!
Imagine cruising at 85mph, punching the throttle and lighting both rear tires... with a trailer.

 

and getting 18-20 mpg!

 

Would never happen.. These trucks EGT's on the street are terrible.. Im only pushing about 600 whp and unloaded, im hitting 1200*F EGTs with half throttle..

 

you need to move more air and get water/meth. 1200* at half throttle is way too much.

 

A single huge turbo and bottomless buckets for injectors will do that to a truck.. Its usually only that bad on warm humid days.. Pretty good on cold days, but then traction becomes a problem

 

not that i know of. i've got an 04 dodge 2500 4x4 with the cummins but i had to put on a turbo back with no cat 4" exhaust and a AFE S2 CAI kit. Now i have a banks 6-gun with it too, you'll need something like that plus gauges to run some HP.

 

no mechanical pumps on these newer trucks- its all computer controlled..

 

Mine breaks them lose with only 433hp/950 trq at the wheels at 70mph down the highway

Im knockin down 20-22mpg 50/50 Reaming/cruising...

My EGTs are fine and dandy, had it to 1400+ many times, daily driven, 260k miles and still running like a bat out of hell...
On average staying off the skinny pedal im seeing 600-900 when cruising/accelerating....


The truck in the vid is a 12V, mechanical, no computer jazz...
Mechanicals are easy/cheap to mess with, BUT newer trucks LOVE boxes...
Its a trade off...
