My own father has stomped my ass with with 7.3 power stroke. Diesels are nothing to snub your nose at. All it takes is a chip and they will put away new mustangs.

Ummm not really when some of them are pusing around 3 to 4 times the amount of torque as you and aboot twice to three times your horsepower.

My brother has an '05 Ram 2500 with a Cummins and it ran a 14.4 with just a Bullydog tuner and a straight piped exhaust on 35" tires. My Mustang ran a best of 15.339 with alot more done to it than his truck. Its definately fast for a 7800 pound truck.
Cummins only uses a inline 6 because it has 7 main bearings. HEKKA strong...you'll get more horse out of a v-8. Next year ford is going to a 6.4 and is going to twin turbos on their diesels. that engine is gonna be insane.

+1. diesels can be really nasty. plug in chip. cold air intake. full exhaust with a down pipe and upgrade the intake pipeing and intercooler.. and propane injection and say hello to 1,000+ ft/lbs of torque and 450-500+hp. my old teacher at scool had a 2500 shortbed 4x4 dodge diesel that just had a banks power tube and exhaust and a chip and he put down 800+ ft/lbs of torque and375+hp through a 6 speed. that truck was nasty. they had the brakes on the dyno on so the big rollers would roll and he was all strapped down and put it in first and could spin the rollers whil the dyno brake was on.. it was crazy.. coolest thing i had ever seen. theng was fast too... could light up his 34" mud tires though 4 gears.

IMO, as far as diesels at least, the Duramax and Cummins are the way to go. I've heard bad things about the 6.0 liter powerstroke (blown head gaskets and such). I hear the 7.3 is good though.
There were some dodge duallies at the track recently running 12s all day.

diesel is the new power king
once they get the weight rating down and hp ratings up.. diesels will OWN the automotive industry.
come on... 650+ ft-lbs with a chip? WTF........ and they dont weigh THAT much. you only see them in trucks. wait till cars get the bigass diesels. can anyone say SWAP?!?!
