everybody saying that you waste horsepower while smoking. I've found that's have true. On a street diesel, such as your daily driver or towing truck, that is true. You should only be smoking under VERY heavy load. On a track diesel like the scheid dragster or a pulling truck, if you're running straight fuel to make the power you are going to smoke, that's just the nature of it. you can't make that much power without smoking. banks uses more nitrous and methane, that's why they don't smoke.
one thing that he forgot to mention is that the track temp was only like 50 degrees so the next run will definatley be in the high 6 seconds and probably right around 200mph.
Smiths truck which is an actual 2500 fiberglass body with a regular modded chasis not tube is running 9.55 in the quarter and it is all fuel also. and it is a lot heavier than banks
Well, heres a quote from Banks "Banks wants to see the full-tube-chassis drag race truck become the first diesel truck to run the quarter-mile in the 7-second range. Although diesel-powered dragsters are already that quick, reaching into the 7s in a lightweight, dedicated drag car with the aerodynamic signature of a dart is much easier than clocking that time in a vehicle that still bears the upright and blocky silhouette of Chevy's compact street truck."

To be fair, that dragster isnt running any nitrous. I think Banks trucks uses more nitrous than diesel
