I'm calling complete and total BS on a 1 ton dually that sits on 24.5" alcoa's that runs an 11.XX at the track. Maybe the 1/8th mile but definitely not on a 1/4 mile. Not unless he is pushing over 700 rwhp would he even come close to an 11.xx anything.
That Duramax better be putting down close to 1000 rwhp if he is getting those kinds of times. I want to see slips or I stick by my original statement of calling BS.

Because the person driving it doesn't know that it is a waste of fuel and is a result of a poorly tuned truck. A properly tuned diesel will NOT smoke when at WOT. No smoke is the key. All smoke is - is unburnt diesel and HIGH EGT's meaning there is too much fuel and not enough air.
If all your after is smoke than take some tires and throw them in the bed and take 5 gallons of diesel fuel and pour it all over the truck and set that beotch on FIA. You will have all the black smoke you could ever want.
