The truck has nitrous and has 1600lbfeet of torque! and the Z has h/c and exhaust. The truck has trapped in as high as 116 on slicks and isnt even 4wd.

wow that is impressive! they are both really quick but that truck is just purely insane!

 

but whats up with missing a headlight?

 

It's to allow cold/unrestricted air to the airbox. My Dad wants a Duramax so bad.

 

goddamn... gotta love the turbo diesel

 

wow...

 

who the hell buys a 3/4 ton pickup with a diesel and doesn't get 4wd?

 

Perhaps someone who doesn't want the extra weight when at the track. Just a guess.

 

yah but a bad ass truck like that would surely used to pull houses or trees, not race with. I realize the duramax has potential and all but..I won't use a truck like for track purposes but to each there own

 

DOSE it have a HEMI lol HAHA sweet vid

 

That was one bad ass truck. Poor Vette, not used to that kind of a woooopin.

 

haha sweet, i wanted a duramax too but cant aford one...yet....my uncle has one, 4x4, lifed up on 37" tires 20" rims, 2 chips, intake, exhaust, i think he said it has abt 500hp and 900ft lbs.... not as fast as that truck but my uncles truck can go anywhere, i havent raced him with my cobalt but i drove his truck a few times and im sure it could take a stock ss/sc easily

 

probally not nitrous, nitrous is useless on diesels, its probally propane injection. propane is like nos for diesels, some kits can add anywhere from 100-800hp and 100-1000ft lbs.

 

Nope directly qouted from the owner/tuner. How is nitrous useless on a truck are you kidding me?

 

yea coz i heard nitrous are like turbo....in a way....that gives the engine extra air to burn gas....so it should work on any internal combustion engine?

 

NOT THAT IT'S USELESS ON A TRUCK IT'S JUST USELESS ON A DIESEL TRUCK. AS FOR THE WHOLE NO 4WD THING I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THAT THE OWNER REMOVED THE TRANSFER CASE TO DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF POWER LOST THRU THE DRIVETRAIN. THAT'S A 2500 HD AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THOSE WITHOUT 4WD. BUT EITHER WAS THAT THING WAS BAD ASS!! IF I HAD A TRUCK IT WOULD WITHER BE A 2500 HD WITH A DURAMAX LIKE IN THE VIDEO OR A DODGE RAM 2500 WITH THE CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL. BOTH BAD ASS TRUCKS!!!

 

hmmm well ill have to look into that, i could be wrong, just everyone ive talk to says it is useless, but propane injection u can get hugh amount of power from....well im gonna go do some reseach cause ive never heard of that, ill get back to you when i find something out.... where did it say he uses nitrous??

 

actually as i understand it When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F (~300 C), it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power. Nitrous oxide is one of the simplest ways to provide a significant horsepower boost to any gasoline engine.

Nitrous oxide has another effect that improves performance even more. When it vaporizes, nitrous oxide provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air's density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.

The only problem with nitrous oxide is that it is fairly bulky, and the engine needs a lot of it. Like any gas, it takes up a fair amount of space even when compressed into a liquid. A 5-liter engine running at 4,000 rotations per minute (rpm) consumes about 10,000 liters of air every minute (compared to about 0.2 liters of gasoline), so it would take a tremendous amount of nitrous oxide to run a car continuously. Therefore, a car normally carries only a few minutes of nitrous oxide, and the driver uses it very selectively by pushing a button.

 

THEY BOTH WORK. sorry i was wrong, the best thing about nitrous is it decreses EGT in a diesel. diesels aslo make alot of power by overfueling, thats why you see lots of black smoke, by adding nitrous it leans it out a bit more, but still making more power, where propane is like adding even more fuel, and it also acts as a "catalyst" when added to diesel making it burn almost 100% of the fuel as oppose to about 75% so yes they both add power, but just look at the price differance between both, but yeah i guess its personal preferance. maybe you can use both???? i dont see why not....

theres a cool video on this one too, kinda long.....

i didnt know you could mod deisels

 

oh yeah! you can make them insane ...... you can tow hugh 5th wheels, boats, go 4x4ing, and race. towing and having big tires dont even slow them done that much, they do abit but they can still haul ass..... i seen a ford diesel on the highway, just massive.. doing about 130km/h up a hill no prob, i seen him stop at a gas station so i pulled in there too, he has 49" tires, custom 4 link lift, electric doors and ladders that come down, etc and lots of mods under the hood too, i forgot what he all had done to it.

 

Correct. Another difference is propane can be run at all times and will increase gas milage. Nitrous works on a diesel just like it does for a gasoline engine, you have to add more fuel.

I was reading that you could also add propane injection to FI gasoline engines to increase the octane and reduce knock. That would allow for more boost and more timing.

 

This is true theres a guy with a RSI turbo viper on SVTP who had I belive a paxton and propane injection.

 

there is an air force captain in town here thats running propane and nitrous with a full bully dog setup in his f250 long bed. im working on chipping my moms f350. shes got the old school 7.3 powerstroke. the new 6.0's are garbage. alot of people will be trading up to the 6.4

 

Not too impressed, brother's S10 ran 11.56 at 114 on a bad tune.
