Keith's truck was on #2 only, no water/meth, no propane, no nitrous.

Most (all?) big Cummins builds use at least water. Yes, even water makes some power.

Maddog's Cummins doesnt use any power adder.
The shitty thing is that the DMaxs still have awesome streetability at those horsepower levels were as the Cummins usually need some water to tame the EGTs

You could use the Van Dmax/ECM with 4L85 trans, but you'd be limited on power.

The Allison won't fit without surgery.

I cannot get that video to play right. It's extremely choppy. Tried it on 2 different computers and same problem, I don't think it's my internet connection either.

From http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest :

Download Speed: 1566 kbps (195.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 2229 kbps (278.6 KB/sec transfer rate)

I got faster than T-1 here........ WTF? stupid sites like webshots probably causing the problem.. they don't have enough bandwidth. I wanted to see it because a friend of mine who is a diehard cummins guy said a duramax could never make those numbers ever..... for some reason or other, I don't remember, something technical, but I want to show him he is full of , well you know what....

Called my friend, he did not believe me. He said a Duramax will come apart at that power level.... The nerve of some people that think they know it all. Of course he is a cummins guy, and he is a 5.9L Gen II 12 valve mechanical pump only kind of guy.... He will never change.

A DMax will come apart at that power level- well a stock one will at least.. This one is completely built, probably about $30k into the motor alone
