well in any case.
i was between my 6.4 powerwagon and the Gen2 Fraptor.

im nearly $30k into this PW.
already have 22k miles since December 2017.

im sitting here thinking what i could have done to a raptor for 25K and how much closer that engine Would take my grin to my ears.

Yes, the turbos would be going funky now, guaranty the transfer case would take a dump, or the front steering/suspension would have leaked already.

but it would would probably eat my truck alive on any course.
that is until i figure out if a blower makes sense. To do it right, thats another 25k into the PW.

Gen2 TRX is where ill be

LOL at the 8.5l engine. That is fantastic.

I also agree that come drag racing.. big engines are always better. They can make more power. End of story.

I love watching cleetus McFarland on YouTube. He just raced the other fastest stick shift car.

He has a stripped exoskeleton Corvette thing at like 1500hp.

Other guy has some Nissan with either a 2jz supra motor. Or the RB big skyline gtr.

The guy in the Nissan set a new record. He got that bad boy below 5 seconds In the 8th mile.

I built my son a 7M motor for his ‘87 Supra. It’s putting out 625 at the flywheel. Not bad for a 6 cylinder twin turbo. I sent it to the tuner for a new tune last week and it should be ready this weekend.
I did a **** load of fab work on this motor... sheet metal intake custom header custom inter cooler and the list goes on. Can’t wait to see what it does on the strip...

You are a man of many talents, Mc...still, turbos are a consumable (especially when you race 'em); give my engine bay cubic inches any time!

I couldn’t agree more with big cubes. My son is young n dumb and ya know the rest. I think he watched to much fast n furious growing up. Then with 6 yrs in the army... I guess he thinks drifting and drag racing go hand in hand or are kinda the same thing. I kept telling him that my Superchargered Camaro 2SS would eat his ass every day all day. Of course he said I was full of it till I showed him. [emoji23]
The whole time I was working on his car and we took a break I put a lawn chair behind my Camaro for him to sit in. I told him to sit there so he could get used to the view of the tail lights. [emoji23] he didn’t think it was as funny as I did.

2010 335i twin turbo tuned with Cobb
uncontrollable Peak PSI over 18PSI
Waste-gate Rattle, was soon to blow

2013-4 audi S6 4.0 Twin turbo
tuned APR kicked ass but had leaking/burning oil issues.

the hellcats supercharger had alot of issues in the field.
mine for sure made a terrible bearing noise, and there was a handful of OEM spec failures.
i thought it would eventually give out, never did in 20k miles. I beat the snot out of it daily.

I pulled into a convenience store (wawa) and this pulled in and after reading this why thread for the last couple of days I couldn’t help myself.
However I did not write anything because there are so many things to say. I restrained myself from telling the guy to stay out of pep boys

Just saw a 4th Gen 1500 that was debadged and where the 5.7l badge would be there was a Cummins sticker...

Can somebody explain the to me?


Would be the same type of mentality of people that put those huge, trunk mounted, rear wings on their vehicles.
