Well this may put a lil dent in the diesel croud but o well. Today i was driving back from the Bloomsburg truck show with my buddys. Anyway my one friend has a Late 99 supercab, short bed, F350, 4:10s 38" tires ,auto,7.3 (250HP stock) TS chip(140HP), CAI and stacks. And my truck is a 96 F350 crewcab 460, 3:55s 35" tires 5 speed, Vortech Supercharger, Banks headers, BBK throttle body and 3" exhaust.

So we are driving east on 80, thru the hills. My buddy comes flying up from behind me(in a cloud of diesel smoke) . I know what he is after. I was doing approx 65-70. As he got next to me i droppped from 5th to 3rd. Got up to around 80 and dead even with him. Shifted to 4th and started to pull on him. Now mind you, this is up a grade around 5% where the diesel torque excells. I got it up to 95 when the speed limiter told me enough. but by that time i was 2 truck lengths ahead of him. I was quite surprised. His truck runs a 16.4 in the 1/4 dune to traction issues, i figured he would of had me. But My ol 460 showed who was boss.

Just figured you guys would like to hear the kill story of a diesel.

here is the pic of the two trucks

 

Great story Brad!

 

I think the 7.3 is a great motor, but I enjoyed hearing this story.

 

yeah the 7.3 is a great engine. And i was surprised my 460 was able to do it in. I could only imagine if i had 4:10s

 

Nice kill and nice truck!
