While the truck is cool and welcome to the site, I don't care much for the name of the racing team. Both of my grandfathers and thousands more died of "BLACK LUNG" from working in coal mines all their lives.
Other than that, everything is cool and enjoy.

I didn't mean you had to change it but I'm glad you did.

How about DIESEL SMOKE RACING?

Here is a pic of my rig on the dyno putting down 391 and 902.

I spent $11k at Scheid Diesel in Terre Haute on mine and about $3800 at Forest City Diesel in Missouri. Bigger turbo, injectors, fire ring head, different cam, FASS, EZ, Blue Chip, 4 inch down pipe, bigger head studs, and more than I can remember right now. I am well pleased so far.

I wanted to keep it half way reliable since I pull a 30 foot GN with some pretty good weight from time to time. It will still live a long time at that rating. Bigger injectors and twins would put it up to it's potential but I'm after the reliability thing. I already burnt up one piston and I don't want to do it again for sure.

I burnt the piston before I did all of that even.
Some of that was machine work also.
