They must have wrote a big check to Gale Banks or someone similar in order to get that truck moving like that. I plugged this truck into a drag racing analyzer program that has been VERY accurate. It has been verified with several known combinations and is usually within .01-.02 seconds of the actual times these cars run. They don't have a diesel option, but a vehicle doesnt know what is turning the driveshaft, so it should be relatively close. I assumed a 6000# truck and a 200# driver. Obviously the gearing and RPM will be different for a diesel, but this program calculates net horsepower required to move a vehicle to a certain speed through the traps. According to the program, this thing would need 800 horsepower at the peak RPM. Since I know squat about diesels, I'll assume that the peak RPM would be 4000? Based on the torque to horsepower formula, this thing makes about 1050 ft-lbs of torque at 4000 RPM. Very impressive indeed.

do projects like this sometimes. I think the "Trucks" host got all his stuff here: http://www.bullydog.com/ Propane injection and nitrous (tranny and drivetrain work had been completed beforehand).
