I guess once my brother got his Duramax, and got it up to 350whp and 650 lb/ft with just a chip, intake, and exhaust that peaked my interest. 14.2 in the quarter for 6500lb+ crew crab truck is a spectacle, and fun to do donuts and burnouts in as youngvr4 would attest.

ok first of all that enigne runs at 15 PSI.. But don't let that fool you, boost is relative to airflow. the more air you flow, the less boost you have to run. 15 PSI on that engine is comparable to like 140 PSI on my turbo Buick.
Deisels are efficent as hell.... It makes all the power under 3k RPM...
Did anyone see that CAT has a diesel enigne in the LaMans races? Same power outputs, WAY better fuel econmy
Moppie, I was not doing repair work to it, I work at Caterpillers Proving Grounds in Peoria IL, I was doing some machine updates that unforunatly are confidential ( I know it sounds corny but hey, it's my job)
