Nothing like 4th gear burnouts! lol Pics? Do they plan on racing that truck or entering it in competition? Or just for some fun?
I love modifying engines of all kinds but turbo diesels are my favorite. It is amazing how a few parts and some tuning can make them wail. Most of my experience has been modding mechanical diesel engines. Back in 98 I started to modify the electronic diesel engines...similar diesel tech, but totally different means of tuning! I have had success with both types but I still like the mechanical engines for their simplicity and out and out reliability. Also you can tune them with simple wrenching.
What is your next project?
Geez I know who i'm gonna ask to tune my 05 cummins........thats insane.
05 is easy. shield 100 horse injectors, BD power Killer B turbo(set at 50 psi), dual CP3 injection pumps(really hard on a single) and an Edge Juice with attitude programmer(it backs fuel off when trans slips, egt get high, ect and has a good gauge package built in).
good for 600+ horse 1000 lbs/ft of torque.
With the normal 4-5 inch straight pipe and good air filter, of course.
Was gonna reccomend similar upgrades yup. A ppe programmer is waaaay cleaner power than edge though . I also can build you a good trans to handle the extra power
Had the head cut by Weir here in Fort st John, Fire ring Gasket was from Shied, had Lee @ Northern Diesel do the pump in Dawson Creek. I built it for Warcat Welding here in FSJ for a toy.
It is insane to drive!!!! Finished it today and the test drive was a blast! 4th gear sideways on bare frozen pavement instant throttle response. More smoke than i like but I built it around a good shot of Nos, which we are not putting on till spring

Joe over at A&C Cylinder is an awesome guy who rebuilds heads. That guy has a real talent and is a blast to bullch!t with.
