Saw a 500hp Common Rail get smashed by a relatively stockish 7.3 today

i dyno just under 400HP with the stuff in my sig. i find it VERY VERY hard to believe this guy had anywere even close to 5 bills. a monster set of injectors that say 140HP on them mated to a stock truck will produce very nominal numbers and a poor running truck with lots of black smoke. some guys are idiots and think bigger is better on everything. my 2 cents

isn't that the truth. HE told me he's gonna do a 4x4 launch... his BUDDY told me after (when i couldn't find cummins driver) he took out his front drive shaft because the u-j's were screwed, and he did a 2nd gear launch... so who knows.i dyno just under 400HP with the stuff in my sig. i find it VERY VERY hard to believe this guy had anywere even close to 5 bills. a monster set of injectors that say 140HP on them mated to a stock truck will produce very nominal numbers and a poor running truck with lots of black smoke. some guys are idiots and think bigger is better on everything. my 2 cents
EDIT: You are also comparing your 12v to a common rail... there is not comparison...

Lets not be silly here... you really dont see that 1khp powerstroke completely smoking out that garage?! That thing was PACKED with smoke 
That drag racer was fairly clean, but still bellowed a few big puffs. Yours wasn't very smokey either.
Lets not be confused here, I said that IT CAN BE DONE, to where there's no smoke, but it's not very common.

They do their burnouts, the powerstrokes was kinda weak, very very little smoke, and the cummins did a massive burnout and was covering the whole strip in smoke.
The tree goes green and the super duty literally ran that guys nuts off all the way to the finish line. I found the SD later but couldn't find the owner... so I have NO clue of the mods.. but the turbo wasn't excessively loud, VERY little smoke, stock looking tires, and an SCT badge on the fender. My jaw was on the floor.
Just goes to show that massive-HP cummins CAN, and ARE, beat by Powerstrokes pushing less power.

Well you must be seeing things because I never once said smoke = power 
I said the powerstrokes burnout was NOTHING to write home about and was very smokefree, whereas the common rail spun his 37" mud tires like they weren't even there and smoked the crowd out with his stacks.
