From there it gets technical in all the right ways. The guys explain why common rail tuning windows and cylinder head airflow are a real edge over a twelve valve, how port velocity and reversion affect turbo efficiency, and why a P pump setup benefits from a larger turbine to deal with heat and drive pressure. Expect everything from eight or nine hundred horsepower to well past a thousand, and on an eighth mile you could see anything from six eighties to…","meta_description":"One spec turbo, instant green starts, and a purse swelling toward one hundred grand turned this class into the wildest storyline in diesel drag racing.
