1st gen hits Diesel Power

The video of a 1st gen pulling that gasgano pulling-a blue 1st gen. Made a full page in diesel power. Turns out he has some crazy homemade intake horn, as in the complete intake plate and all. Plus hes got it p-pumped. Also in the issue was a 90 they just pictured and said it was the coolest engine swap theyd ever seen????

Some buddies and me attended the Diesel Dyno Day at American Racing Technologies(A.R.T.) in Buda, and it was a great turn out. That 2-tone blue truck must have gotten there later on that day, because I think that I was the only 1st genner there that morning. There were alot of trucks there, and probably 90% were CTD's. When I dynoed at A.R.T. the other day, I asked the dyno operator if he could remember what #'s that truck put down. He couldn't remember.

271/522 was all i could muster up. Stairing at a p7100 pump as we speak.
oyea the blue 91 lost its drive shaft on the last pull, everyone was looking at each other like (what's that sound?) good thing it had d/s loops we would have been runnin for cover. sorry i didnt meet you i was (am) the skinny dude with the brown pit bull.

The full page blue 1st gen with the p-pump conversion was built and pulled by a guy here in Nebraska. The tranny was also built by a guy locally. He pulled it last season and then decided he want to save some money I guess.
Does anyone have video or know what exactly it made on the dyno? Curious?
