So what’s the problem?? A popular build right? You bet….and its QUICK. 0-60 in 5.8, standing quarter in mid 13’s, more power than anyone should be allowed to have….yeah right! This is my boss’ truck. He bought it after watching me for a few years with mine. He wanted to skip right to the good stuff and asked me how. First order was the gauges. Then a short call to Bill at DTT and we had the truck profiled and a trans being custom built for him with a little billet for good measure. Now we were ready to start bombing. In went the injectors, DV’s, the turbo upgrades, the water/meth, ah hell…everything else up in the mods list. It all happened in less a month…..from tame low on power rattle trap to rip snorting inferno. But what’s wrong? Yep, you guessed it, really hot, very smoky, and not driveable by anyone that doesn’t know how to finesse a Cummins. That’s how he wanted it at first, so I left it alone. It was within it’s safety limits as long as he didn’t push the top end too much. He was educated, and new when to quit digging in the coal bucket.
