Any ideas why the Navistar Powerstroke was tossed? Can't you get insane amounts of power from those?

My truck weighs in at 6300 with the lift. So given its a 1 ton....I used 7500# for the weight. I used this simple calculator.http://www.dsm.org/tools/calchp.htm With the given time and speed. Its pushing around 950 HP!!!

There are guys with street driven cummins powered vehicles that are running close to a 1000 hp, with over 1500 foot lbs of torque. For grins, do the calculations of what it would take to push a 8,000 lb truck to an 11.42 in the quarter at 118 mph. Diesels can and do make some serious power. BTW, the Chevy's are really coming on as well. Hope this helps.
Good info!

On a side note, he runs twin turbos producing 95 lbs of boost!!!!! He has dynoed over 800 rwhp with #2 only (diesel), no drugs. He does have both propane, and nitrous available if he wants. His goal is to go 10's.
