I like diesels, too, but you guys realize the thread was about a completely different type of "powerstroke" right? :smile:

It's also not about '04 1/2 24valve cummins, so i wont embarrras powerstrokes with my dyno #'s:lol:

Funny thing is, an electric motor of equal horsepower would trump any diesel engine's torque figure. :lol:

But draw soo much amperage that the battery system would weigh too much to make the vehicle go anywhere slow

I was a deisel tech for 5years selling performance products. My last cummins build dyno'd 640rwhp and 1213ftlbs and runs 11.72 1/4mi et's. It is capable of 750rwhp but the owner decided not to do the dual CP3 kit and stuck with 90hp injectors instead of 200 with dual cp3's :surprised:

May I introduce to you, the White Zombie- http://www.opb.org/programs/ofg/segments/view/1686

:mdr:

when you start with a gutted shoebox.... Try making a 9k lb diesel rig run those times. :whistle: :wink:

Aint gonna happen. :smile: If you wanted to keep it as a daily driver, that is. If you gutted it and replaced the powertrain with equal weight of electric power it would blow the pants off of at least any other truck. :yes:

Thats my point. Dont get me wrong I am all about BL elec. but in a 1:1 truck it would be hard to have anything but heat because of all the weight. That Cummins will lights up all 4 @ 40mph and in 2wd will light them up @70mph

Sure would like to see a video of all that black smoke!!

I have the shocks, they are good.

Best shocks I ever owned ;)

Yes sir! I'll soon break out the truck again! The shocks are equiped. They are in good hands.
