Mine does, and its drink of choice comes in a longneck.

Last week we were bored at work again (go figure) so we slapped a happy Banks impeller blade on my truck. After the install all I can say is wowwie wow wow!!!! Mucho Boosto.
Still only at 26 psi but there is practically no lag. Here are some pics of te turbo out and blade comparisons. The banks is the one with the variable blade sizes. Stock is the lazy looking one.

So when does the Nitrous, Methanol, and Propane go in the truck for some high 13's down the track?

60-1 is a Turbonetics number. Its closer to a T-72 Garrett. But a lower rolling resitance and lower threshold impeller for better spooling and higher heat resistance. The bish only revs to 3k RPM but it makes all of its power by 1.8k.

Its funny to see tire smoke from the back of my truck. Ha, its so far away I cant even hear the tires spinning.

Propane, exhaust and some transmission work will get me into the 13's. It takes Injectors, NOS and some weight loss to push it into the 12s though.

I bet it makes mad torque, the question is can it get an airplane off the ground?

26psi on a truck motor? Which motor? That's GOT to be a rush, even if it's a smallish charger...

7.3 liter diesel V8. It is sweet. Will be dynoing soon. after the exhaust I estimate 400 hp and 650-700 torque.

If I had a nickel for everytime I saw a beer bottle sucked into a turbo I would be a rich man.
