Sick of diesels yet? This white Ford is Cummins powered and made 1374 rear wheel hp on the dyno with 5 stages of nitrous, no jets in any of the stages. Mostly uses it as a street toy, not a drag racer.

This truck is mine, and makes 448 at the wheels on one stage. While it's not fast, it's certainly faster than it looks.....most people are surprised when it starts

Here is a pic of my car from the day I got my 9 second license. I went over to the tech guy to let him know I wanted to get the license. He asked me what car I planned on using and I pointed to my car. He said, "what? Didn't you just drive in with that?"

I am pretty certain that I was the first person to ever get a 9 second license on 17 inch rims. This was in early 2005.

Unfortunately the car has not moved since early July. I hope to have it out for some of the end of the year events.
