Hot Rods

(1/3) > >>

now I've played the hot rod game, but it was with gas. I've never seen a gas motor come apart like this. This almost makes me want to build diesel next. But my dream hot rod pick up would have an Allison V12 in it ;D . If I had to guess that was probably about $30K blowing up on the stand. If you pay attention to the clip of the first truck it has slicks on the front axle too!

I found some follow up on that engine build, it is, or was, a 6 cylinder Cummings based motor. The guys had the boost peaked at 147 pounds when it blew and the dyno reached 2200 horsepower at detonation!

good lord, I had to laugh at that one 🤣. They know way more thanO do, but even I thought they shoulda quit while they where ahead 🤣



Are those guys from around here? The second clip look MIR/ Buds Creek.


I only took the ‘Stang there once, best run was mid 12s (not bad for a daily driver with all season Perelleis, and a driver who’s only dragged one time before and that was almost 20 years ago 🤣)

I never got into hot ridding diesel because I don't like the smoke. Your standard factory gas powered car with a turbo may run anywhere from 3-6 pounds of boost(psi). On the extreme end of factory you may find 12. Even tractor trailers that have Cat engines with Pistons the size of my leg only run 6-7 psi, and that would be the ones out west that are tuned up to 600hp for the mountains. 147 psi is insane
