@7urb0m4n 6.6L duramax diesel. 

[patchancer86]

if thats diesel wher all the smoke????????

[bankspowerinsider]

@patchancer86 If all the fuel is burned then there is no smoke. We burn all the fuel we inject into this engine. You can see more on the engine build on our website.

You should see the nitrous tanks they use...

[bankspowerinsider]

@Deepinher01 They're in plain sight and they are 2 10lb bottles. We go through about 3lbs in total per run.

@StreetStylz56 You show me a 4 ton truck running nines I'll show you a vehicle that isn't driven on the street anymore. Also if you think that the jump from 9s to 7s is just a matter of weight reduction you've got a lot left to learn about the 1320.

@bankspowerinsider Alright then. It just sounds so much like a gasser. I guess I will have to see it to believe it. Will you guys ever be in Redding, CA?

[bankspowerinsider]

@SuperPowerstroke00 I guess we’ll take that as a compliment. Funny thing, when we first started racing the S-10, we had guys come up to us in the pits who weren’t convinced we were running straight No. 2 diesel, so we actually started giving out samples for them to see/smell/feel. Tell you what, Mr. Doubting Thomas, the next time our S-10 or rail goes out, you can meet us at the track and we’ll let YOU fill ‘er up. :-)

@Johnsonx16x here's a 12v71TT @ near 6,000.. youtu .be/S-lRXRLWVRg

[genocideoffsprng]

Gale banks is a really cool guy too. Met him recently

[Johnsonx16x]

@hvtecfreak they make gasoline engines that go up to 20,000 rpm so i'd say 5-6000 is possible in a diesel

[basstard13]

@onehorsepower thx buddy!

[onehorsepower]

@basstard13 there was an item on Jay Leno's garage, think it was about 5800rpm max...

[basstard13]

May I ask you what's the max rpm this engine can reach?
