By the way, these must of been two different weight classes taken in the video. There is no way that a 4000 lbs engine + the weight of the truck can compete with a way lighter class, there is just no way.

look at the weights on the front of each truck. they weigh in on scales and have to be within a few hundred pounds of eah other. all three trucks weigh close to 8000#s.

First of all, the 8v92 weighs 2 tons, around 4000 pounds. And why the fuck would you put weight on the front when there is already weight on the front from the 2 ton engine? The Chevys were too damn heavy for one thing. That's probably why they didn't win because no traction, and the front axle was probably digging into the dirt. A 1000 lbs motor vs 4000 lbs motor, big difference.

its all about weight the heavier the front the better the traction.

@Hotrodx199 Are you suer the are 8v92??? Sound like 6-53 or 6-71 to me and they would be much easyer to get in the 8,000lb class , i dont think a 8v92 would fit in the frame of a pickup nore bolt up to a trans that would be light and handel the torque

[slimG2082]

sounds like a 6v-53 or 6v71 , way to small of a engine in the vid to be a 8v92 , 8v92 would take up all of the enging compartment of a pick up ,u would never fit the clutch housing between the fram rails of a pu , and the drive line would never hold up under the weigth and torque, most 8v-92 are 350 hp and up ,with one turbo stock was 425 hp 1100ftlbs torque and up

haha url says VAAAAAAAAAAg

[jamesakaduke]

what i find most amazing is how these DODGE fans think that CUMMINS is made by dodge.... and the Detroits probobly only had the fuel cranked as to where the cummins im sure has several thousand in modifications.....

@Hotrodx199 Because the rear tires act as a fulcrum, weight on the front increases traction for both the front AND rear tires. Weight on the back wouldn't help as much. Hope that helps you visualize it.

MOPAR!!!!!

@RLeBar1 Yep, the 5.9 cummins beat out engines over 10 years older than it that were still designed using 1930's technology. The fact that they are using engines (detroits) for pulling that were designed to run rock steady (NOT MODDED) for a half century at a time without overhauls and still doing decent is a miracle to me. I'm not saying either is better, but the 5.9 cummins isn't even from 99% of the 2 stroke detroit generation period. All 3 are awesome trucks, don't argue apples-oranges

@seriessixty525 its alot harder to tell the amount of fuel being pushed through a 2 cycle motor from how much smoke their is, the ratio is alot different, like moonlights truck the cummins pushes a ton of a fuel that being said purely from their displacement and their fuel mods they were pushing probably 3/4-7/8s as much as the cummins. the first one psycho also moves more air than moonlights truck and the fuel atomizes a bit better so its clearer. Not doggin on you or your post, thumbs up
