I find it amusing that the V10 needs 10 cylinders to get done what a diesel can do with 8.
I find it amusing that the diesel needs a turbo so that it can do what the V10 can do without one.

So using that logic, why not pull the turbo off the diesel, and pull 2 spark plugs out of the V10? And no, I don't mean just run a 5.4, I mean run the 6.8 with 8 spark plugs.

What would happen with 25 lbs of boost on a v-10?

It'd make a helluva lot more power than that diesel does. It would only take 6-7 psi to match the diesel in stock form.

Did someone mention LOGIC !?!?!

You have GOT to be kidding bringing that up when irrational thought and non-scientific methods are SO much easier to spout....
Sorta like "YES, WE CAN !!!" (screw you outta house and home)

After all, it's better to "FEEL" and "BELIEVE" we can rather than JUST DO IT !!!


Post some time slips - bring it out and let's have some fun !!!! no matter what it is - heck even the sled pullers like a little drag race once in a while !!!!

I dont know how much boost they are creating here, but here is something I found for V10's.

Keep in mind these are dyno numbers, not on paper out a brochure

Edit: just found it has 22 psi of boost and it cost $5-6k
