I've been lurking around a Duramax forum and saw that a guy with a new LMM Duramax ran 12.75 quarter with only exhaust, tuner, and alky injection. Shocked

I also saw a recent magazine where they took a brand new stock Duramax and ran high 13's with just a Hypertec tuner.

Most of us better get used to getting our pants kicked. We're in a new era where even the trucks are hot rods.

Hehe, we have a video of a big crazy turbo diesel truck beating Paul. He ran mid 12's IIRC. Sounded like space ship with the turbo spooled.

I think it is just a matter of time until we start seeing some smaller packing for some hot diesel motors coming out in sporty"er" type cars.

Not if diesel is still more expensive than petrol

Petrol? I haven't heard that word since I was in the UK.

My daily driver is a duramax powered truck and at near 5.00 bucks a gallon fuel takes away any advantage diesel power provides. Sure 600ft lbs of tourqe is fun, but it costs alot to drive. My 03 delivered 22 - 24 on the highway until the ULSD came out. Lost two MPG with that stuff and a little HP per my buttometer.

yeah i got smoked once by a big duramax. it was lifted, big tires, and hauling a quad in the bed. I felt like a total tool. granted my car isn't that fast but i thought a lifted truck with a quad in the bed was an easy kill.

I was wrong Sad

hence my signature.

You know, some day you're going to have to get over that and move on with your life.

The other alternative is to put a better engine in your car and smoke him next time. Thumbs up
