Default Different strokes.....

Just a funny post..... I used to mess with diesel stuff. My truck - 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 reg cab long box. Truck put down 605HP and just short of 1050ftlb of TQ.

I ran 65psi of boost in the following video. I had no traction, and was bouncing the fuel cutoff the whole way down the track.

Here is a 650hp 1100lbft dyno pull

http://video.thedieselgarage.com/video/e16...8f50143fe96.htm

I had nearly $10,000 in the transmission alone! I sold the truck, and bought the S2000. The diesel thing gets expensive FAST! So I have decided to put a CAI, and catback exhaust on the 2000.... and leave it at that. Im done with wrenching..

Funny.... given the forum I am on now, compared to 3 months ago! I will clarify though...... I have owned a 2001 Integra Type R White on red interior, RSX-S, Toyota MR2, Civic x2, and a CBR 600F4i (which almost took my life in 2001) so I am not making that big of a leap from diesel to gas.....

I some times go to T/T pulls. Something to watch the diesel guys light it up. Just don't want to be any where near where the smoke trail goes.
