Oh, and if anyone saw Dirty Jobs the other night where Mike was at the Locomotive plant in Idaho. Well, that was my engine they were prepping for rebuild that went into the dunk tank. I don't think Joe's 600 hp IDI is going to quite match up...

16 cylinder... 15.5 liters... per cylinder... quad turbo... 6250 horsepower.
With 3 stages of Noss (sic), propane and meth injection, I'm pushing 10K hp easy. Currently trying to figure out now if the stock 5 speed will bolt up. Also looking for a HD rearend with a 1.00-1.50 gear because I can only turn 1050 RPM. With recent calculations with my 4.10s, I'll be topping out at only 25 mph. That's not going to work for that drive to the Concord, Ca area. Yes, it is a driver

Iam comeing 4 u JoeF350...

I've never seen one but I would think it would have been smarter to serrate both sides.

I'd put a stroker kit in that locomotive motor. Shouldn't cost more than about $50-60K.

LMAO! That was a good one!
I watched that happen and then the "expert" tried to act like he knew Mike was tightening it the whole time.

Well, not to be outdone by the 600 horse IDI, I ordered my high-tensile piston return springs, custom-made 8 into 8 headers, ultra high pressure water cooled oil pump, some solar powered headlights, and new see-thru valve covers for my custom-built 32 valve heads. I'm not going to tell you about the hidden 200 gallon tank of nitrous though. I think the (8) 10-inch stacks will look sweet when i get it done. Gonna put a "Type R" sticker on it for that extra 40 hp.

If you can get EITHER of your IDI's to Oregon, I'd be happy to let you shake down your truck against ANY of mine, before you embarass yourself in front of Dave and the rest of the IDI nation. It's not like you haven't already with all of your BS...

I'm realistic... I won't have my new engine built and dialed in for at least... Three weeks
