Thanks to Andy @ Primetuning!

I'll probably take it out there in a few weekends.

id be willing to hit it from a 40 roll too.

Lol, a 10.4? You diesel guys are stoked about going 10.4? How much $ and time is in that truck for a 10.4?

For you to say my car will never run a 10.4 is stupid because neither will your truck, sir.

Will your truck ever be this fast? I am positive it won't.

Actually that truck I showed you run 9's now in the 1/4 with the stock bottom end. Can any gas engine do that? Yeah enough said. And if you don't believe me go to www.rudydiesel.com and get the number and talk to aaron and ask him if that is the stock bottom end of a 6.4L. Love to see a stock bottom end of a mustang run as many passes as that diesel engine does.

Cool story. We are comparing apples to oranges though. Diesel to gas?

Sounds good

No shit he is saying that diesel trucks aren't made for racing. So I am proving him wrong. Not only are they making huge hp and tq number on the stock bottom ends they are running 9 sec in the 1/4 on the stock bottom ends. I would love to see a gas engine do that over and over again without failures.

Gas and diesel engines are 2 different engines. They have huge compression ratios and combustion chamber temps are quite a bit higher then gasoline engines. They are made to be strong and thick to handle then high compression and boost. Gasoline engines have no need for that durability because they do not create as much stress on the components. If there were a gasoline engine with the same compression, displacement and boost levels it would produce more power and the same or more torque.

If you would like to dispute any of that, go ahead.

Diesel does have more stored energy then gasoline. But more energy is lost in heat. Diesel race cars are the best in the world. But trucks are trucks, and that is the point I'm making in this thread.

Wow a stock bottom end? Lol
Lets see: when sn95 cobras just came out there were guys running 9s on the shitty lower end. Many many 5.0/5.8 run 9s on a stock bottom end.

And a 03/04 cobras have done mid 9s with the stock (ported) blower.
Centri/turbo termis will run mid 8s on a stock longblock.


Everything a diesel engine has done was done better and faster by a gas.

Except le mans for the past 3 years.

Puegot and Audi have been doing work with deisel engines.

But I'm not sure if they're running deisel/meth mix fuel or not. My guess would be yes.

I'm not 100% sure on what all regulations deisel has in le mans though. I would imagine theyre less regulated but idk for sure. I'm fairly positive they are twin turbo v12 engines though, which is a night a day difference to the powerstroke 6.4.

Don't forget Bonneville.

Who the fuck cares about a diesel anyways

A buddies dad has a ram 2500 with 1100ftlbs of torque and it runs 12's. A 75,000$ 4ton truck isn't exactly the prime vehicle for going fast.

[CRASH]

Yes, but if we are competitive racing I'd like to be able to have a fair shot. Limping my car off the line isn't near as fair as punching from a 40 especially because it puts me at disadvantage.

You need to stop being a pussy. I launched our 3500 lb. '55 Chevy 4 door at 5k rpm on slicks with a 40 year old Muncie 4 speed. It went 7.80's and cut low 1.7 60 ft. times.

You also need to tell your buddy's dad to get his fucking money back.

Just sayin'.
