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
