Well I asked and showed a bunch of guys who know there international IDI's, and it isnt one. Its a powerstorke converted to run a mechanical IP and injectors. They said if you look close at the heads, you can see the high pressure oil passage plug. They said the pump looks like a Bosch P-7100 pump.

For as much as he has in that I would hope so. He had right around 100K in the engine the first time and turned it into a bunch of paper weights last year. Block is filled solid, only thing PSD left on it was the block. Heads were custom along with everything else I have been told. Very impressive truck to say the least. He is like everyone else though has good days and bad.

heads have to be stock castings, they got the oil rail milled off, DHRA wont allow them to run aftermarket heads, yeah he broke it at wilmington but he beat the cummins trucks at by 6 feet....

They are stock PSD heads but have been extremely modified. He scattered the engine all over the track last year at Cynthiana I believe it was.

I've driven regular mech 7.3's with an after market Turbo and they roll pretty good but that looks sweet!
