I'd throw some buns on that and then proceed to make love to it....
You'd make love to a fire hydrant if it wore the right lingerie.....dont act like bacon is anything special:dancenana:
Did someone say, "Bacon"? :roflmao:
That sounds like something my wife would say.

The stuff from Costco is real bacon. You must refrig it after opening. I use it to make the kids eat food they don't like.
Put enough butter or bacon on it, and you can eat a '56 Buick, ask Euell Gibbons ...
Bleeding edge of sled pulling: Using helicopter engines or multiple blown V8's.
Put 4 twinned, nitrous, Duramaxes in a truck and do something spectacular...

Sounds like an experiment in the making. I do have a hydrant across the street, gonna try this theory out:sheephump:
Yes, but I should be more specific, when u have limitations. A t4 turbo kit, dual fueler kit, and a modified stock ybridge won't cut it against the heavy hitters.
There's way too many variables to start an argument over it anyways. Too many trucks out there that don't post numbers, and don't care too cause they use dynos for their purpose... Tuning. I judge trucks by how they do on the track, and duramaxes are a little behind in all of it at the moment.

Yea that's cool, but when ur not competing, what's the point? Competition is what drives the hobbies. You gotta have competitors to compete.
This is going to sound like sacrilege, but ...
If were going to do nothing but sled pulling with a diesel truck, I'd pick the 12v Cummins:
A) The existing events are often tailored for them.
B) Parts availability is better.
C) No computers.
D) A proven winner.
However, if I had to actually own a pickup truck that was to also be used for as a sled puller, it would be a Duramax.
A pickup truck is a machine that can carry heavy objects and tow heavy objects. A competition pulling vehicle doesn't always meet that definition.
The reason for hotrodding a diesel pickup is that you can haul people, haul payload, tow, get good mileage, and make stupid amounts of power.
One you discard the utility aspect of a diesel pickup, it's not a good choice for racing. Too heavy (hard to haul around), and $/hp is high.
Some folk want Diesel Pulling/Racing to hit the Big Time. Be aware though, that's what killed off most import racing. You aren't going to compete against Ford Motorsports, Dodge Motorsports, or Chevrolet Racing. They have very, very deep pockets. It made the privateer obsolete, only major teams were competitive.

Who cares ? Does anyone? NASCAR sucks it's a big circle jerk! And we all know what a circle jerk is not to be confused with a limp biscuit!
