How many mm's is the inducer dia? I figure about 6ft, so like 1828.8mm? Hmm...I think a 540 with that is equivalent to a 3.0L running a +100mm turbo. Can you say Supra racing in a truck?

It goes 0-60 in 1.2 days, but 100 to 200 in 2.5 sec.

I had one of those built for my work truck, it towed way better than the stock 6L.

I forget if its the latest issue of Hot Rod or GM High Tech Performance but Jay has Gale Banks working on a custom roadster... with a V12 diesel out of a TANK! Gale is going to throw a couple of turbo's on it along with some other tuning goodies. Not quite a locomotive engine... but hey when you can't spend your money faster than you can make it... its no wonder Jay flips the coin for over the top projects
