And do any of them weigh 8,000 pounds and have a Wee-10, 6.0L diesel or a 7.3L diesel?

You guys have been doing that a lot lately.

Like the guys who said they couldn't physically compress a Bilstein shock by hand!

Mine has a forced induction 6.0 Wee 8 gasser. I guess those gassers aren't all that bad afterall.

On another note those numbers wont be correct 100% of the time, but it is a general guide of what is expected. There will always be some variables.

A built turbo V10 could mop up the floor with a turbo 6.0 depending on how you build it. Once you start modifieing though theres really no way to stay on a level playing field anymore, too many variables. What mods, price range, all out build, or mild bolt ons. I'd be so crazy as to say an all out build of a 6.0 Vs a Wee 10 the Wee 10 with forced induction would come out ahead. This would be with a forged rotating assembly and some different cams and some head porting and a large frame 9X-10XMM turbo. The 5.4 (which is the basis for the 6.8) lighting motor proves how potent these thinsg are under boost.

there!! I have seen nitrous/methanol twin turbo tuned 6.0 diesels that are just ridiculous! I wonder what a V-10 could do hp & torque wise? Anyone around here build one up and dyno it? I am afraid

I'd have to place my money on the diesel, only because there are 6.0's that have reached high numbers! I'd like to see some crazy V-10 motors pumping out serious power! I have never seen one

myself!
