i got you man. That wasn't at quaker tho the dude in the truck showed up while I was standing outside my job waiting for my friend to get off, it was pretty random hahaha

i'd watch out for some of the LS1's that come up to quaker tho. most weeks, i'm the slowest one out there. Alot of em really like to keep scuba tanks mounted in their cars, but idk why?

That truck had no chance from a roll. 4wd launch would have been better. Good kill.

I'm a little under 10k into it, plus the truck. I did most the work myself, except for the tranny. I've never run it at a drag strip, but my setup is pretty common in the diesel community. Similar setups run lowish 12's. I know the price speed ratio sucks, but that's why I bought a car to start working on.

Good kill. Bad on him for picking the fight and doing a roll race. Guess you can't pick the fight and make the terms though... Hence why I never pick the fight, cause then when we can go from a dig... Although the only time I lost, I picked the fight and the terms, and still lost!!!! Damn Termi's!

Far as the truck, I think its impressive. I'm pretty sure its been proven beyond LS1tech that Diesels are far more effecient motors than gas also. Otherwise, why would people that have to do heavy work, always want a diesel, instead of a gas. The Triton V10 was real popular, wasn't it...

that 8.7 run was street tires(still managed a 2.0 60ft), ported TB, flowmaster catback, and SLP lid.

When i debut back at the track in April, i'm gonna have the same setup plus pacesetter LT's, custom ORX setup w/ moroso spiral flows dumped 3" all the way through, and slicks.

Alot of it was me negotiating but he was the one who suggested a roll, which i thought was dumb on his part. He wanted to go with a 40 roll which with my 2.73's would have been bad, I wanted to do a 60 roll so we negotiated at 50.

I'd tend to have to agree considering, exactly what your sig says 6.0 silverado

It plainly says, "Let's see your gas motors make that much boost and torque"

When inface a gas motor can make that much torque with much less boost, granted fully built and no where near stock like your truck.

Your sig is correct in one way, a gas engine is not gunna run that much boost, but that same gas engine will run that much torque or more with nearly 1/3 the boost. Which to me in a racing application is more "impressive"
but im positive about 99% of us(in this section) werent thinking about great gas mileage when we bought or built our cars. Again not stating your diesel isnt badass, infact i'd want one.

But the sig needs rewording or it sounds pretty stupid.
