    just my i called a few buddies that are diesel mechanics and they said there's no way this puppy would run at 10 to 1. and you can cram all the boost in a diesel that you want it wont make it much faster. the only wy to make one faster is to cram more fuel in. but there is a theoretical limit to this before you have to raise the boost!!! and the reason why propane and methanol work so well in diesel's is b/c they replace the air and allow the diesel to burn hotter and thats why you have to watch your egt's except for the meth which will lower your egt's but does allow the charge to run cooler.

    oh, tell your boy to bring his truck out to tunerfest. i'llrun him in the dodge for $hits and giggles after i unload the 2 cars i haul there off the trailer!! not saying i'll win or lose but it'll hold its own
