Psd 60L I am Questioning the validity of yor pictures. I mean come on you drove down the road and took the pic of the pyro why didnt you just move up 6 inches and taka a pic of the boost gauge to. Sounds fishy to me. But since i guess they are mechanical gauges and all it takes is a little spin to recalibrate them to your happiness i guess that then we will get that pic when you get the time to pull the pillar. I was also out in my truck today and guess what it boosts 60 psi at idle now. Amazing what a toothpick will do. And i to would get a little touchy about the egt comment i made if i was also on motor number 2. It dosent sound like it was more then the motor could handle it sounds like more then the driver knew what to do with.

In case you would like to know, the reason the picture is at a slightly annoying angle and not exactly the clearest thing in the world may or may not have something to do with the speed I was travelling at the time, but then again maybe my datalogger was lying too. If this forum were without regulations, I could get a little personal myself here and go into the psychological reasons you have become a troll, which are quite evident in your posts- but out of respect for our moderator I won't do so.
Anyways, question all you like
The validity of both your posts and mine will be in the hands of the other readers.

The Ford has always come off as the best all around truck. Always, and it continues to do so. Not only in looks (IMO), but in reliability, capability, toughness, and power.
I think you should look at the picture again too, the engine was at 4500 RPM, and you couldn't see the the speedometer hand, which means he was going over 100MPH...it seems like a lot of trouble to go through to just make it "look" like that had happened.

These Dodge guys feel insecure dont they. They come over here an tell us how great there truck is. Like they have to prove something. I hope our original poster didnt vanish like most off these guys do. He got a rise out off all off us an now hes gone.

Nope i haven t gone anywhere just have not had time to get on the internet. I know that means he was probably going over 100 but besides a sports car a newer full size truck is my second choice for stability in the triple digits.
F150 what is there to be insecure about? Its amazing that im a dodge guy but i have more then 5 different brand names of vehicals. But if you read you could have figured that out.

Real cute nick like i havent heard that before. How old are you
. Why would i be insecure about an engine that eats the competition in the pulls and drags. And if your going to sit there and hint that the psd is actually a better engine then the cummins then you need more help then any one person can offer.

So, you buy a Cummins, and now you're gung-ho about it. How long have you actually had it? I don't see any proof that the Cummins 5.9L is superior in anyway to the Ford 7.3L. You have a superior potential, that's it.

There is NO other logical reason you would have even posted this thread if you didn't have a point to prove. If you were fully confident with it, you wouldn't need to prove it as a point.
Since we are obviously going to be cocky and arrogant, I might as well join the party. I DARE you to bring that Cummins of yours around here and outpull me OR outdrag me. I don't give a damn what your buddy's truck will do, or what you have seen this or that guys truck do, bring yourself down here with your and either back up your mouth with your ability or

First of all it wasnt a thread of asking which is better because i already knew that, it was a thread of asking if anybody knew of a psd that runs like that with minimal mods. Secondly your truck will outpull me in a truck pull simple because you have 4wd and out drage me since i have 410s. But since your so smart and articulate im guessing you already knew that or you wouldnt have challenged me. And i never said anything about my truck since i no it still needs to be finished before im ready to dyno. As for the challenge. Once i finish the mods i plan on doing by the end of this coming summer then we'll meet on the dyno where its all even. But since your such a scholar i bet your going to come back with thats nothing more then an excuse. Sorry college is more important then your challenge.

I'll tell you what.
I'm going to PM you my cell phone number. Keep a good record of it.
When you get those mods done, I want you to call me.
We will dyno, drag, and pull.
Whomever loses at the dyno eats the cost of the dyno run; Whomever wins at the track and pull correspondly eats the entrance cost. Deal?
We will also post the results right here in this thread, as soon as it is done.
Edit- Check your PM's

Deal. you will have to let me know about how much that probably be because it would be my first enterance to a dyno. Now i eat my words! I saw the drag you did from that link and i was impressed to say the least. Sorry i badmouthed your truck but im one of those people who need proof and now that ive seen the video i have it. I got pissed off when you came back a smart *** and accused me of being a troll and thats when i became a dick.
