I live right around the corner from this guy. Always heard about it, never saw it go. Nice!

[@rfletes79]

Has gone a best of 11.27 @ 118. 1.61 60 ft, last yr on 10-15-11. And spooling up at the starting line does help on the et just hard on parts. Getting a gear vendor and lower gears this yr. :-). Thx for all the good posts and thumbs up!

[@rfletes79]

Only been to sears once, last July I raced there. Spend most of my time at sac.

[@jamesmahonmac]

Im in love. Must have duramax!!!

[@hondarideralex]

@nachomax look at the dyno video it has more specs. It is a th400 with trans brake and an allison torque converter. 12 bolt axle, posi'd with 2.56 gears.

[@tpvalley]

love the body twist.

[@timmie426]

look at that torque... damn

[@jacklinofx]

Got a HARD slant to it the whole way down the track - that's torque!!

[@shankenstine99]

That is one mean car! Great job

[@rfletes79]

so i cant post a link in the comments but i added it to the description. 2 of them. here you go, pretty much brings the car up to date as of today, 3-2-13. there has been a lot of changes since we started with this thing and the norcal build starts from the beginning in 2008. also have a FB page dedicated to the car as well.

BEAST

[@kc88kc]

@ssbagman hahah i was just wondering i just couldn't believe that much power in such a small body

[@rfletes79]

@kc88kc Yes. 2004 LB7.

[@shpuz]

@vr4ish just hit up any diesel performance shop. bigger towns/citys would obviously be your best bet. but you could do it yourself, dont thinks all that complicated except for the motor mounts. everything els is universal.

[@lilric64]

damn that duramax twisting the shit out of that chassis

[@erkq]

Dang... looks like it broke on the last run. Great show, though!

[@MinneFab]

got chassis twist?..daaam

[@originaldriver2066]

Fuckin A!!! Lovin the dirty-max swap. Im sure that the road mileage must be phenomenal for a 11 sec car. Good build!!!!!!

[@randomclam8ownz]

the wonders of a diesel(:

[@metalhealth12]

well you have to get a diesel gas tank get all new fuel lines for diesel fuel you have to get overload suspension or Heavy Duty Suspension because of the weight of the diesel engine would make the front end drag the ground

[@ssbagman]

@kc88kc Either that or that combustion engine is blowing a lot of oil!

[@hcaughy]

Bad ass

[@12valvepower4]

we get about 23 empty in our f250 2wd diesel

[@12valvepower4]

gran turismo 5. ps3.. i have a built up chevelle big block 454.. with a blower on it.. 700 hp. cant hook till 3rd gear.. even with medium grip street tires on it. and suspension upgrades and longer gearing. 80 mph until it hooks.

[@nachomax1639]

That's very nice. Great match up with the Camaro. which duramax/tranny and rear-end are you running? what type of mileage do you get?

[@TheChevycummins]

Gas burns diesel doesnt...diesel explodes!

[@TylertheGeek28]

That's crazy, what kind of HP/Torque are u getting with this thing ? Chevelle looks awesome love the color

[@Needmorehorsepower]

@hondarideralex wow 2.56 gears thats funny that hwy gears for a gaser LOL

[@cptn_rdbd4817]

Not that it would torque-twist, that's not at all what I'm saying... ;) Love the car!

[@BigBlockNova468]

@rfletes79 wow 30mpg is awesome! Just curious about how much it cost to build this. Im looking into a diesel swap as a next project. my bbc only gets 6mpg :(

[@giniggerbreadman]

i know im not the only one thinking this...PLEASE POST A BUILD THREAD... ill give you a dollar

[@rfletes79]

@terr0rwolf nope not the first, but probably the only one on a budget! there is better and more recent footage on youtube, check it out!

[@Zombunist]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

[@SuperMuise]

@ka24det28 ....fuckin rad!

[@dunn98632]

The gas engine has quicker rising horsepower off the line than the diesel thats why eh always in front at the beginning at the top end the diesel catches up the gas just probly needs more heads work and more intake and he will loose the diesel in a second.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

He's not spooling off the line. Guaranteed if the diesel had the turbo spooling before launch and could hook that power, nothing would hold on for that...

[@aksarbenoutdoors]

How long your 2 bolt last? Without being modded anyway?

[@DFX4509B]

OK, Duramax + Chevelle = badass.

[@rfletes79]

@gunsandguitars 30MPG HWY / 25 CITY

[@35RSkyline]

I want that car thats fucking sweet

[@duramaxkid08]

What kind of car is that in the other lane in the very beginning?

[@relentlesx6one9]

@jrstow86 it's a gm. But alright duramax is a gm Diesel engine not an Isuzu

[@chriscraft77022]

I would rather have peanut port 454 running 16s than that bullshit

[@jockinbmxco]

do u ever come down to sears point for the drags?

[@justinbeamon6624]

Haha if he upgrades it more it will almost flip over from the torque!

[@bassman34516]

3rd race was close as fuck

[@BammerD]

Go to w w w .18 to 1 . com and check out the D-Max GNX Clone (built out of an Olds Cutlass Diesel). Lots of good pics there.

[@jrstow86]

An isuzu chevelle...what the...

[@mooose09]
