I like the hard hitting diesels.
I went to a dyno day with my dodge (gas engine) and they had a bunch of diesel trucks there. the heavy hitter pushed 809hp and 1416ft/lbs. his motor was far from stock. he was running twin turbos at somewhere around 80 psi of boost. converted it over to studs for the heads as he blew out the head bolts before. also he was using water injection to keep the things cool.
there was probably a lot more than that done to it but that is what I know. I am sure he was using forged pistons and other heavy duty inards to handle the pressure. he was having problems with his tires rippling on the dyno as well even though he was at max sidewall pressure as well.
he sent me a video clip of him running a qtr against a mach-1 mustang. he beat it and ran an 11.5 in the qtr. not bad for a 3 ton truck.
