Can I dream ???

Silly question here...

If money wasn't an issue..... how much would it take to "tweak" my ride to do this ?

Yea, easily more than $10k. I'd say at least $20k into the engine. Then $10k for the built tranny. Then you start doing 4wd launches and breaking axles, needing to upgrade that. Just an estimate.

LOL, 10K for the initial trans. Have you ever watched some of those guys over on Comp. Diesel talk about how many passes before they twist off various exotic input, intermediate or output shafts?

Life measured in single digit passes.............

I would if I wasn't required to be at an 18 year old girl's graduation / birthday party...

And if I'd get my butt in gear and put a exh temp gauge in the pig so I could actually do some real mods...

Was that at Indy? Looks like it. We went to the diesel races there a couple weeks ago and saw LOTS of BTs go fast!
