My Tornado slip in intake air twister adds 25hp and 5mpg, and they even showed me a dyno graph to prove it. And with the electric supercharger, my LS1 makes 400hp and gets 40mpg. Yup Yup Yup.

I don't need to dyno, they did that for me. Duh. And I emailed them telling them you all thought they were lying, and they sent me a new graph with torque curves. And you can tell they're real cuz the hp and tq crosses at 5250.

russstang its a big lifted diesel truck.. i dont really care that much if im makeing 550 hp or 600 hp its still slow as **** (heavy weight, tall height, and 35 inch tires dont work great for racing)

that being said i still believe them.. also somebody said" i dont believe the original poster is makeing 600 hp like they said" that is who this comment is directed towards

in any case, fireo quit trolling my thread .. this was not ment to turn into some dumb arguemnt

Oh, yah? My eBay cone filter said it adds 400hp, so my LS1 has 800hp. STFU.

fiero is inferring the diesel comapnies lie and good for him.. if you wanna believe their liars go for it

but i can tell you these results have been dyno proven on diesel forums many times...

just because i dont care enough to dyno my truck dosent mean that all these major companies havent already backed up their products and that others havent spent time on the dyno with their trucks

I can dyno prove that my LS1 tune adds 40hp too.

It's called pulling out the lid and filter, uncorking the exhaust, and then making the pull.

Although no internal modifications have been made to the Duramax LLY engine under the hood (yet), this Chevy has produced 730 hp with nitrous and 528 hp using only number #2 diesel. This is accomplished with fueling upgrades and custom programming for the ECU by Steve Cole at TTS Power Systems.

As a Duramax owner, I test the products that I sell on an ongoing basis with my own 2002 Chev K2500. I perform these tests on the road towing AND on my Superflow SF 840 Chassis Dyno. Some are my own design and some are from others. I run the Uni-Filter foam air filter, the KD 4" into 5" performance exhaust system and use the SPA DG 211 digital dual gauge to keep an eye on things. I have run most every power box out there and if you don't see it listed under chips, it likely isn't worth having. By using these items on a daily basis, I get to know these items intimately and can provide the service to back them (and other items) up should the need arise. With the addition of my Superflow dyno, I am even better equipped to test and authenticate the performance gained by a modification! I have dyno tested this truck at over 530 RWHP on diesel fuel only, 730+ on nitrous and that is just the beginning!

I've got an 05'Dodge w/ Cummins Turbo Diesel. Last time I dynoed on a Dynojet, I made 573 rear wheel horsepower. Torque was over 1200 at 2400rpms, if I remember correctly. Don't know the exact number because the dyno didn't go over 1200 ft/lbs for some reason. I don't have the printout with me as I'm at work, but my guess is I'd be over 1300 by the way the line ran on the graph. Anyway, now I'm over 600rwhp due to different tunes and some water/meth injection.
Now all that being said, I couldn't do that without alot of mods to handle the extra fuel. Billet trans for one. But first and foremost was a bigger turbo (SilverBullet64). Diesels don't have to worry about detonation like a gasser. Diesels are compression ignited. Compression and boost is our friend. Heat is the only enemy, and with a stock turbo on any manufacturors truck, there is no way to make 600rwhp without melting some very expensive stuff. Stock turbos are meant for stock fueling. They are a choking point, and as you add more fuel your egt's will skyrocket. Bigger turbo, less restriction, more boost = alot of freakin' power as long as you've got the fuel to burn. I'm flirting with the 12's at a weight of 7740 with me in my truck. Nothing crazy but it's pretty quick for almost 4 tons of iron.
There's alot of guys out there who plug in a programmer that they say adds 300hp and they think they have 600hp. Uh-uh... no sir.... well maybe for a few seconds before they melt their pistons and turn a $12K engine into scrap metal. It happens almost everyday on alot of the sites.
And that's why I'm here.... I'm interested in an easier way for speed (LSX). My truck is a monster, but I know it's limitations. It is fun to keep up with or dust the unsuspecting car on the highway... Usually they pull up next to me with a look of

600 Crank I Was Saying So Approx 475-525 Rwhp Hell 396 Ds1 Has A D-max Too And He Has Made Approx 475rwhp On A Preditor Tune...

Im Sure By Now This Thread Is Beat To **** By The Flammers But The Original Point Was Just That I Thought A D-max F-body Would Be A Cool Project With Alot Of Potential

You know, you can in fact turn caps lock off. People might read your posts then, and then infer you being a retard instead of just blatantly assuming to avoid the pain that contacts their eye every time they try to decipher your grammatically f*cked, cap-locked posts.

600 at the crank may be possible but I'd still be concerned about temps, although I admit the Dmax is a stout engine. Just don't know enough about the turbo and such. I prefer the beefyness of the Cummins with the extra main caps and huge connecting rods. I run the Preditor tunes also. Strong stuff... but not for stock engines. There's a Dmax in a BuickGN out there somewhere. I don't know if one would fit in a Fbody though. The front suspension would have to be extremely beefed up to handle the almost 1000lb mill. Someone will do it I'm sure.

sounds like a very intresting truck you have there mate! have you got any pics or links???

its a bit off topic, but sticking stonking deisel engiens into little hatchbacks (about the size of a mini) is getting popular over here! it all atarted with the VW Golf TDI but there are several pretty cool swap that makes for some very intresting cars! also the deisel engines are dirt cheap and can normal match NA motors for power but smash them on torque. plus with our astronimical fuel prices they save you a few quid to! lol

on swap is a guy putting a golf deisel engine into a lotus 7 style car. prett cool and should be stonking to drive once he has finshed!

thanks Chris.
