I get funny looks when I'm flat out banging gears in my diesel. Sounds like a big block until I let it idle - open element air filter FTL.
Are you sure the other guy was racing?
I get alot of people telling me my 460 has a fuel problem and a bad knock at idle (I don't have the Diesel badge on the front)
Or, they tell me my PSD sounds like a gasser
Wow, I lost a red light race to 15 passenger van, I did beat a 94 Honda Accord wagon. 115mph is my personal best...downhill of course. One thing I like about our NA diesel's is we will never ever have turbo lag.
I outpulled a Cummins coming home from camping yezsterday, he had a smaller camper and wanted to pass me uphill, I was in fourth 2k, 15 lbs, that is my sweet spot all the way to the governor, wife made me slow down. wimmen.
he had some work done as I could here him behind me, we were both coalin a little
But he didnt pass and did give me the thumbs up when we split in town.
What is our govenor at? On my '92 the tach turns yellow at 3200 ish.....does it actually have a governor that i can push it too and hold?
Yup, the pump will have a govenor.
If I'm not mistaken, if one of our IP's dont have a govenor spring they run away, correct?
Mine is governed to 3300rpm's under load, and 3500rpms free rev.

i love that. the day after i got my strait pipe put on, a guy at work told me i had a really bad exhaust leak...
lmao! im not sure if id call beatin a 94 accord a win... ;p
So how safe is it too push them close to that? I.e i normally dont run it much over 2500
