Well 10 months with these in the new engine. About 120 passes and 3k miles. Not a lot of street miles but we still have 2 months left to complete a year. Lots of driving and racing in the next 2 months.

We’ve pushed them well beyond the 800-1000hp mark. We’re calculated at 1500-1600hp based on et, mph, weight and nitrous jets. More then likely we’ll finish out the season at this power level then bump it up next year?? We’ll see.

Nice! What kind of turbo setup and torque numbers?

The turbo I was thinking would be good for 8-900, the injectors about the same if your pushing them, and the 12mm pump around 1,000. I don't know how much nitrous it takes to add 600hp but... 🙈 I guess my biggest surprise is the lbz rods and lb7 pistons

This thread is about Socal Diesels in house street budget rods. I'm going to assume he's not running a stock piston anymore either

I'm pretty sure that thing runs on more nitrous than diesel fuel.

Lol, I do run nitrous. I honestly don’t think is that much. The bottles last a long time. But without it, the motor makes 1000hp. I currently have 2 solenoids capable of supporting 400hp each, which we have not maxed out yet. I don’t know where my limits are with current fueling but I’m gonna find out. And add 2 more solenoids to have 4 kits.

And here I thought I was cool with 3x 0.125 solenoids (only using 2) lol. That car is impressive every time I see it tho, you and your crew/team have done an absolute killer job.
