this thing sounds awesome!!! gales banks or not, it's nice to see a smokeless pass by a diesel. this does a lot for our hobby.

i would of thought that it would have been faster, though, given the light body and framework. i don't know if it was just the video or what but it did kind of seem like he spun the tires at the beginning. maybe that's why.

 

That and the fact they are pooring the NOS to it. I still think it is cool and sounds bad azz.

 

It would be a fun ride.

 

I think its awesome that there's no smoke, and that thing sounds sweet!

 

it sounds like a gasser to me.... i dono i guess that's how a duramax sounds with an uncapped downpipe...... i've never heard one like that so i dono..... and that's haulin perty good...... did sound like he was pedaling it in the begening.....

 

8.64 is a damn good run.

 

Guys, this is not a "dragster" but a Pro-street pick-up. It's now the worlds fastest Duramax, 2nd only to my friend Brad Makinen who ran an 8.40 @ 150 on basic tuning, and the worlds quickest diesel "pick-up". Dragsters are a completely different class.

 

i think the banks truck is great for diesel performance. most people will want to starty pusing there trucks to the limit so they can prove the banks truck is a fluke!j

 

It ran 8.22 @ 164 latest numbers.

 

8.216 @ 165.50 to be exact. They now hold the record for the worlds quickest diesel pick-up. Still have a ways to go before they come close to the dragster's. They're goal with the Sidewinder was to be the first diesel powered pick-up into the 7's. Looks like they are going to get it done.
