1st Gen at DPC

Cole and Cory are representing the First Gen crowd with a "cheater" (p-pump) truck here at Diesel Power Challenge. Currently they're holding their own in the top 5 after the dyno session. Check out the results here:

Just thought you First Gen guys would like to know.

872 on fuel is a great number. Congratulations. I'm definitely hoping this truck kicks backside on those nasty looking new trucks.

he ran nitrous. however, those are still good numbers for the first and only run he made. the fire was a result of a nasty backfire i guess. hope it didn't bubble any of that nice paint

I did not know they were allowed to use nitrous, but saw after reading further that some guys are spraying.

Yea it says he's spraying to keep up with the twin turbo trucks...fair enough.

Weird, when you look at that engine in there you don't think 1600 ft lbs.

The 47RE is weird...must have a standlone computer.
