When the hood is opened it will look like a gas engine with a turbo but with a closer look you will see its a diesel.
Oh OK, I just wanted you know that 27 psi with stock CR would end badly if you didn't know that! Good luck with it and I look forward to seeing it painted orange. I painted mine Detroit Diesel Alpine green and it certainly looks cooler than a plain old black 6.2/6.5.
