If a truck stays at or near peak horsepower longer it will likely win. The V8's usually have the advantage of a wider powerband, higher revving. But that doesn't represent any superiority. I don't think we need any reminders what engines still doing a fine job of dominating our sport.

An automatic will almost always beat a manual in drag racing, even if the auto is down a couple hundred horsepower.

HUH?? i'm not sure if i agree w/ that....but i guess i'm biased

I have to go back and respond to that to. Ya know I like to go back to one word when people try to spew vomit like that in an attempt to discredit the better performing engine - scoreboard.
Scheid Rail - 1/4 mile time of 6.93 powered by Cummins. Granted it's a rail....but it is powered by the "not so good on the strip Cummins engine."
Then there are the multiple trucks that have run below 10 seconds, Darren Morrison, John Robinson, Jimmy and Dale Smith, Stuckey, there are a few others that I can't remember off the top of my head....but I know this, they're powered by Cummins.
Sub 10's....I guess that's just no good on the strip.......

Theres two breeds of 24 valves...the VP pumped 24 (98.5-02) and the CP3 pumped common rail (03+) the common rail responds much better than a VP...just the standard Smarty on mine did 427hp...theres not a programmer/box for the VP trucks thatll do that on an otherwise stock truck...but the VP trucks are starting to get there!

Chris Werner drove his 12 valve from Cali to Idaho, swapped injectors, and did 1450hp and like 2200+trq...soon enough there'll be common rails in the same territory

Adam Winslett who lives near me
1060HP or something like that on a VP44 cummins. I believe the highest HP VP44 ever.

good times

the owner of the local diesel performance shop here has an 05 cummins with big sticks, twins, ported heads, smarty stacked with mp-8 box and with nos and water injection he is only able to push 740hp before he gets to critical egt's 1800*

the guy with the twin tubo dodge did show up at BD dyno day. He had 2500lbs of weight in the bed to keep the truck from spinning. BUT on the way he blew the headgasket(the truck was there but on a trailer). He said he had " F-1 Flux 6.2 injectors " installed just for the dyno. I dont think it is a 1600hp truck but the setup he had there would of put down 1000+ consitering he put down 800rwhp last year with smaller injectors. But BD dyno day is coming again in spring.

I could see 740 with that combo and no nitrous, depending on the size of the sticks. But theres no way hes running twins AND nitrous, putting down 740, at 1800. HIGHLY unlikely. Of course theres obvious variables, but that just doesnt sound right...

Could be the ported heads though. Haha j/k


And yes, I do believe Adam Winslett has the highest powered VP truck...one sweet ride, thats for sure!
