Default DuraMax Camaro

Here is a friend of mines 1967 Camaro with a Duramax that is getting down to the last minute of leave for Drag Week Saturday. This fabbing started about 6 weeks ago and hoping to fire it up tonight. The twins are off a new cummins diesel that are electronic varible vains that we had a controller built to monitor turbo shaft speed and control the boost through this controller. The motor has stock crank and pistons, aftermarket rods and cam and the heads have been ported to the max. The sheetmetal intake was built by a friend of ours Greg Young. We expect around 1000 hp and about 1700 to 1800 ft lbs without nitrous. I will get more pics soon. Mike Woods' (owner of nx) duramax mustang and this camaro will be heading to up to Drag Week Saturday and will let yall know how everything goes. Both cars are going to be in Diesel Power Magizine.

nice project, how much boost is he planning on running?

nightrunner, for cars to participate in dragweek they need to be 100% streetable since they drive them everywhere and race them everyday for a week straight. most dragweek cars even pull trailers with tools and parts in them

it has a built 4l80e tranny and a dana 60 rear and it is all street legal. Once we get it back together all the lights,turn signals back up lights headlights all work. We even built the charge pipes around the headlights to where the factory headlight covers still open and close
