Oh i know diesels CAN make some serious power if built up, Im just tired of all the hype at school where most kids with diesels think BLACK SMOKE=POWER, when in reality they are slow,and only tuned to roll coal, not to actually perform. Trust me, I do like diesels, One day I want to build a 93 dodge first gen dually ex cab with a 6BT cummins, bosch pump, and a 6 speed. But until I can afford that, ill stick with my chevy!
