94CamaroLT1

Last night i was racing a friend of mine that has a 04 powerstroke and i have a 94 lt1 and we raced from a stop. he floored it and black smoke was going all over my car so i just pinned it and pulled away from him. he has a 300HP edge chip and i still won?? pathetic?

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't a powerstroke a ford diesel truck, or is it something else? Good kill though.

Yup Turbo diesel... These ppl put on these chips and beats a few mustangs then thinks they can jump up with the big dogs... I had one try to get in front of me at a red light cuz the lane ended in like 300 ft... i heard him get on it as i look over and laugh and spin on past him leavin him some smoke to smell

yes its a diesel

i wouldnt call that pathetic... thats a 7500lb+ truck vs. your sports car that weighs in the 3700ish range.... + you got gearing to race.......... and are you sure that it had a 300hp chip in it cause i ran one with some kind of chip exhaust and filter and it almost kept up with my cammed ls1 if you did you got a bad car there

LSWaaa?

the truck you raced must have beena 6.0 auto Powerstroke. line up against a 7.3 Turbo Diesel Powerstroke and i guarentee it will waste you. Horsepower is nothing in Turbodiesels, its all about the torque. check out these vidsClick here to see Video

A 4X4 Truck like that is going to have no traction problems.
From a dig, a truck put in low gear in 4X4 can be quit nasty.

yeah its ok untill i get warned or they change it haha but yeah i know im prolonging the inevitable. im not sure how much power the powerstroke had but he can burn em through 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th so quite alot i think

Didnt know Edge made a module with 300hp. I have run a 100hp chipped 7.3 with my 65hp chipped Cummins and pulled easily by a couple lengths. I think your friend is telling a story about having a 300hp chip. As far as i know you would have to stack boxes to get 300hp and even so his trans would grenade without mods.

Yeah I think the biggest you can go with an EDGE is like 185 hp, 270 tq(?). And that is with a "level 6" upgrade.

Dont race a 7.3? LMAO they are the SLOW ones! Ive eaten a few of them, The 6.0 has a lot more power. BTW the truck in the vid is a 6.0.

We have rules for a reason. Knowing the rules and just going against it isn't cool. Now I have to waste time going through your user options to change it. So thanks for wasting my time.

94CamaroLT1

well he said it was 300 horse but yeah i know i dont know that much about truck chips so thanks for clearing it up but he said it was the biggest one that edge offered. so thank you

TravisH.

I just checked Edges site and it says max is 115 hp and 290 tq. Of course that is on level 5, level 6 is an upgrade you can get if you are and nhrda member. That is for the 6.0 too. IDK if the 7.3 is the same.

WTF.... Those big diesel pickups are actually fast??? This is news to me

They are if u drive a stock N/a mustang

Careful there Hypnotiq...you may get your *** handed to you by a big 4 door diesel one day and then who would be ????

There are some nasty trucks out there. I happen to own one which is also my tow vehicle. Some N20 or a propane kit and tune and you have a big diesel capable of embarrassing some pretty fast cars.

The thing with diesels is that they basicly use detonation as their ignition system. Granted the glow plug is there, but basicly they just pressurize the mix in the cylinder sooo much it spontaneously explodes with a tiny nudge.

Then consider what the biggest enemy of a turbo gas engine is. Detonation. Which is the main reason you cant just go running any boost/airflow level you want. With out enough fuel or too much heat you detonate.

So diesels can run insane boost. Its actually pretty amazing how awesome some of those turbos are on there. Think about it, a stock 7.3L engine that can run boost that makes an Evo jealous. You need a huge turbo to make that kind of flow. A lot of the new turbos for DSMs these days are based on Borg Warner and Holsets turbos from trucks. These things spin up faster than most "big" gas originiated turbos and flow like 50lbs of air per minute, which makes a 20G look kinda weak. So right there with that kind of displacement and turbo out of the box, you have some huge potential.

Unfortunately diesels dont do so good at higher revs. Thats why their HP is pretty irrelevant. They spend almost no time over 5250. So while they might make torque that makes some big blocks blush, they are not as fast as a gas engine will be in most cases with even similar torque. They dont get to use aggressive gearing very much at all in a drag type situation.
