Ok. I talked to this guy at the flying J about half an hour ago, and my bull$hit meter is ringing off the scale. I started out asking about his mileage, seeing as how we were both pumping diesel into our Dmaxes. "Oh, it's pretty good," he says, " It's a diesel". Ok, im thinking maybe he didnt see that I'm driving a lifted duramax, and therefore might think that I wouldn't know anything about one. So I continue - " How much power are you making?" I ask. He replies " 874 hp, its got twin turbos." quite matter-of-factly. Wow, I'm thinking this thing must be built.
"Who's twins setup is it?"
"Kenne Belle"
"I didn't know he did any diesel stuff"
"He's a NASCAR guy"
"I know, I just haven't heard of him in the diesel stuff"
"Who built the tranny, same guy?
"Yah."
"Can I take a look under the hood?"
"I have to run to work, but you can see it at NADP, I'm having some work done on it there. It's the second fastest diesel in Alberta, the guy who owns NADP has the only truck thats faster. "
"Wow, what do you run?"
"13.8, Barry can run a 12.4."
I seriously couldn't believe that this guy believed himself. 874 hp and a 13.8? kenne belle only does blowers on cars, not twin whistles on diesels, and to top it off theres probably 300 trucks in Alberta that run faster than 13.8.
