im curious what they make the transmissions and torque converters out of. 1300ftlbs at the wheels is about 4 times that in the converter.
some of them are making more like 1500-2000 ftlbs.
i know the torque converters are machined out of billet for one thing. I dont know on the trans. prolly all billet and hardened parts and god knows what for clutches
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that MadDog F350 Cummins powered? Badass regardless!
Yes it is.
I am planning on swapping a 12V Cummins into my Super Duty later this year. And I don't care what anybody says, I will take going to a truck pull over going to a drag strip any day as far as spectating goes.
I LOVE DEiSEL..... theres nothing better then smoking ricers that think their fast and smokeing them with black smoke wile your at it...
actually i find being the "ricer" and letting them hear open wastegates as the ricer they though they had bagged finally spools and flies past them is a much better feeling. AWD launches help too, they dont expect that. God i miss my 91 GSX.
i be the above works well on civics though.

I've been to a few tractor/truck pulls. I find the turbo tractors more entertaining as its mostly just rednecks with mostly stock 3/4 and 1 ton trucks pulling around here, nothing exciting really. I did see a few Dodge diesels well into the 10s way back when at the drag strip in Cecil, GA. Those suckers were movin!
