Re: [AMC-List] another american success story

" A: There are quite a few people on the 4 wheeler boards who use Dodges with 
" Cummins to tow their offroad rigs around and with some mods to the computer 
" controls, they are getting nearly 750 HP naturally aspirated and 1,000 HP 
" with turbo. Exhaust temps are watched carefully and many have pushed into 
" the 1800 degree range.

that's the cummins b5.9, the heaviest-duty engine available in an
under-10000lb vehicle afaik - it's rated for service in 66000lb
trucks.  the powerstroke was only rated for 35000 lbs.

i think it'd take more than 'some mods' to make 750hp.  the most
powerful stock b5.9 is only 350, and iirc the dodge version is
something like 275.  there are some nasty diesel rodders out there
though.
