Has anyone read the new Diesel Power article?

[buddy]

well HP equation is highly dependant on RPM. If you have enough torque to reach that higher RPM in final drive gear then lets say youre doing 80mm3 at 3000rpm, well since you have twice as many cycles at 6000rpm then 80mm3 at 6000rpm is twice as much fuel than 3000rpm.

If my fuel rate at 1800rpm in final drive ratio is 9mm3, and at idle of 600rpm its 9mm3, then youre still using 3 times more fuel at 1800rpm.

Aren't his engines stock though? Did he tweak his IP? Does anyone know? DS2 or DS4 isn't capable of supporting 500HP stock, or we'd all have blown up blocks.

Or does that include drugs?

I re-read the article, and it says they are running a large dose of water. I wonder if that is considered drugs?

You can do a mathematical extrapolation from speed, rpm, stock weight, gear ratio, etc... there are several calculators that let you theoretically calc. HP in the absence of a dyno...

As far as I know, Bill hasn't had the LSR on a dyno. I don't believe for a second that he would make false claims - and I don't think that's what GMguy was hinting, either... but DieselPower Mag is another story.

I believe it's called 'journalistic license'...

IMHO, you could probably get a properly built-up 6.5 to achieve ~500 HP with 2 synchronized IPs, nitrous/propane, and a lot of prayer... but it wouldn't win any longevity awards.

you are 100% correct in that statement.:thumbsup:

This was what i was basically trying to say in all the wrong words.:sad:

Perhaps he is rewriting the entire code to output more fuel?

He told me he is running a GL4 but it is mapped out to higher rpms. I think he said 5000 but I won't swear to it.

"HEATH" sure seems to be a sensitive subject what's up with that?

I thought the post was asking a simple legitimate question, maybe some here need to pull on or grow a few extra layers of skin? :sad:

Good post GM Guy :thumbsup:

GM Guy don't hang yourself up here... you didn't say the wrong words, it got twisted around and misinterpreted... That is more the fault of the reader than the poster.

This thread is on the right track now. I vote for a mod to clean up the mess that was made to get here..
