Re: Newbie to site Rodded C30 Flatbed
Just a quick little diesel story here. I was at a job site in april, and the homeowner had his leg in a cast. He knew i was into vehicles and asked if i could move his truck out of the garage because it was awkward for him to get in and out of. "No problem" i said. I knew some thing was up when i opened the drivers door and it had a swing out arm for the roll cage. Gauges all over the place, pretty sweet. Huge chrome stacks coming up from the inside of the box around the cage and of course a big bottle of NOS bolted in place. For the kicker, this is a 4 door dodge full size, early 2000s for the vintage, all black and 4X4. Runs low 11s right now but should be faster once the computer and NOS get figured out. Don't quote me, but i want to say 700 ish HP and around 1100 pounds of torque. It was quite impressive. If there wasn't mud and snow yet, i think i could have put a few miles on it for him.

I have a "normally" aspirated low dollar motor w/cast iron camel back heads and 10:1 comp on pump gas. I have maybe $2500.00 total in my motor and it will blow the tires off all day long in first unless i pedal it with a tight torque converter and still get squirrly in second. Don't get me wrong u can put enough cubic dollars into anything and make it go fast!!! I never said that their weren't exotic black smoke spewing diesels out there that I can beat. Ive got (u-tube too)!! When u can build a diesel from the bottom up for $2500.00 that will keep up with the same amount of money in the gas burner then u got an argument. For what u have in those 11 sec diesels im building a 572 chev w/nitrous then let me know how that race goes lol...dont get me wrong im not trying to be a jerk or anything. Ive seen a honda rice burner normally aspirated motor run in the 10 sec. range but i bet he has 20k in the motor......so what!!!!...20k Bottom line: dollar for dollar (which is all that really matters in a true comparison) u can go faster in a gas burner than a diesel. Not just your mods but the cost of the entire motor, turbo,waste gate, chips, tuning etc. your well over 10k-12k and thats if u do all the work yourself. and your might be in the 12-13 sec range .....wow. I have a friend that has 12k in his gas burner and runs high 9's low 10's all day on the street. (nothing says "hot rod" more than black smoke and engine knocking) When i pull into a gas station or car show or a freakin dairy queen my thumpr cammed small block dually draws a crowd every time. The diesel gets lost in the parking lot with all the other trucks and that annoying knocking sound really gets people exited ..............I digress..................... |
