Just a thought...

I was just reading Diesel Power Magazine, and thinking to myself...

If I were to buy every single aftermarket mod in there (you know 75 HP here, 25HP there, 100HP here...better fuel economy here and there) then eventually Id have a 2,000 HP truck that gets 100 MPG....

Yeah well I don't know for sure about the 2000 hp thing, it might be achievable for a few seconds.................But don't hold your breath of the 100 miles per gallon. I should be at about 30 right now if all the claims about the mods to my pickup were true.

Actually clux...this is sorta the point of my post...I was being facetious ... there's a limit no matter what mods are made...I just think it's kinda funny, sensically...

Funny how that works, but if it where possible.... The tire industry would have a lot more business from my neck of the woods for sure. 2000HP and 100 mpg, that is almost as good as winning the lottery and retiring for life!
