A local shop is building this unique car for a company who specializes in Diesel performance and converters. They have a Chevy Duramax that has twin turbos and has dynoed at 1200HP! They are finishing up the firewall now and should have the motor installed in a week they said. I will pop back in and take pics of the updates..

At least, probably closer to 2000, those oil burners make crazy torque.

That whole front clip is Chris Alston's Chassisworks stuff...
