Any full mod powerstoke or Dmaxs anytime soon
Just wondering if there is anyone working on one of these for the mod class. I would like to see some serious competition this coming pulling season.

I think it comes down to dollars. To get a Dmax pr PS to make enough HP would be VERY expensive. Also The fuel systems that the DMax and PS employ flow no where near what a P-pump (modded ) can

*cough* kyle *cough* michaels *cough* *cough* Sorry, I had something stuck in my throat. 
Seriously I think there should be competition if the bottom end of a dmax can be held together whilst running a 3-400 shot of nitrous. Granted it will take massive dollars, but hey, it's just money.
We've got a lot to learn from the other racing organizations about strength, cylinder pressures and block reinforcements. JMHO,

when i asked Van how much it would be for a complete engine he told me $50,000-60,000 and thats just for the engine. then thrrow in a complete tube chassis, a set of rockwells,4 disc clutch and a set of cut tires and then your talking some money. kyle michaels i'm sure has the money to do it, he only lives about 8 houses down from me and his family has a very very successful potato farm

The guys with the money and a Duramax might be into drag racing, boat racing, tractor pulling, ect. instead of truck pulling. Not that I have an extra $100000 laying around but the guys like me that are into truck pulling and have a Duramax don't want to take a 2001 and newer truck, gut it, cut it, and make it into a mod diesel pulling truck. How many 2001 and newer Dodges are in the Mod class?
