Just got my copy of Diesel Power in the mail yesterday. Congrat's to Micheal Tomac on the win in the Diesel Power Challenge East. I knew Micheal has a special truck from the posts I've read here over the past couple years. The challenge tested 1/4 mile time, 1/8 mile time with 10K lb trailer, dyno, sled pull, and mpg. It was interesting to see all the power upgrades on the 9 trucks in the challenge. A lot of attention to fuel delivery...aftermarket injector pumps, lift pumps, and injectors. A local guy (to me) Jeremy Moss also did well. I've seen him run locally and his truck is a real sleeper. How does a 12 sec 1/4 mile truck get 24mpg? Good reading, makes me want to go out and upgrade my truck with all the good stuff these guys use.
