Ok I know the moderators are fairly particular about what we post, but you guys have got to hear this one. Lastnight we're out street racing, lots, and lots of new faces and new rides out this season. One is an '85 or so S-10, white no grill and no slicks, sounds ok. Well I heard it was quick but you know how that goes. He got called out by a another truck that runs 12's. The race started and the 12 sec truck took the lead by at least 2 cars. Then at about 40-50mph(guessing), the white S-10's headlights started going all over the damn road swerving, then straightened out and yanked the 12 sec truck by about 8 car lengths! Found out he has a mild 350 SB with a diesel turbo on it!! It just took him a while to spool that big turbo up. He is only running about 12psi(supposedly), but when it went by it sounded freakin incredible. For the record later that night he got called out again by another 12 sec truck. He was paddling his *** too, then just past half way he blew his head gasket to hell. White smoke was pluming from that thing. Still it was badass and I'm sure he'll be back.

 

wow :hail: sounds like a 11 second truck or better.

 

that would be so sweet..... turbo's are one of the sweetest sounds around, i love the new wrx's i heard one go by my school and it had a big blow of valve and that thing was just incredible and they make awesome power. good story, i'm sure with the money he's got in that truck he will be back.

 

Thats just damned cool. Talk about doing something different.

 

Yeah, I agree that does sound cool. I like the way the blow off valve sounds on turbos, pretty cool if you ask me. But on the other hand I also like the way superchargers whine even at idle, lol. Oh hell, they are both frickin cool in my book. Sounds like one badass truck with some serious turbo lag, lol.

 

Ya he actaully had part of his hood cut out so that the turbo would fit in the engine bay. It was the wildest exhaust setup I have ever seen. It still blows my mind that he used a diesel turbo on that thing, someone said they can pull somewhere around 37psi if need be!!:hail: We'll see I guess...

 

Those diesel turbos are frickin huge. Ever seen one of those babies on a tractor? Man those things are monsters.

 

sounds pretty coo

 

yeah, i have seen one on ebay a couple times they showed it next to a gallon of paint and it made that thing like tiny. i agree superchargers sound sweet. i heard a huge blower on a 60's mustang a few weekends ago, that thing was just sick that car was bada$$ huge slicks in the back with skinny's upfront. it made me go :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:
