First I’m primarily a gas racer; I cut my racing teeth as a Competition Eliminatorcrew member, and racer. I get a woodie when I put my foot on the throttle of a 11,000 rpm small block.
I was stranded without a affordable and competitive engine program at the end 2001 season, after a fairly successfully 5 years of campaigning a D/ed with a Splayed valve V6. I stumbled in to the diesel performance world, and found it to be a new found passion.
The diesel engine development curve is where the gas world was 30 years ago. I speculated it would rapidly catch up, and it’s coming along, there are a lot of inovatators in the diesel couminity . When I first started with diesels, mentioning cylinder head and cam development was laughed at. They stated that boost would overcome it all. 6 years later the shop that I begged to do my head, and build a sheet metal manifold has a 3 month waiting list to get a head and manifold.
So is the diesel engine as a viable power plant for a muscle car, bracket car, or even race car . I don’t mean the typical smoke belching engine, but well refined engine programs. The diesel engine has made huge gains in this arena with the advent of electronic common rail high pressure with 20,000 to 30,000 psi fuel systems. With the CR systems you can tune around destructive peak cylinder pressure as the engine goes thru peak torque. The solution to this before, on mechanical fuel systems was to reduce compression ratio, killing low eng cylinder pressure, and this worked on all out engines, but killed bottom throttle response. These lack of bottom end , also effected the AR selection on turbo’s
The advent of cylinder heads that in effect doubled air flow (Cummins stock 144 CFM ) ( Duramax stock 140 CFM ) to both heads flowing close to 250 CFM on streetable heads and 300+ CFM on all out race heads.
Cam design, which I made one of my pet projects, was way behind. The major player would grind BBF RV grinds on the Cummins 54.5 mm core, the events were to big , and with way to much overlap Problems was the turbo diesel engine cores were on at best 102 to 106 LSA and the overlap was one of the greatest no no’s on a diesel . The diesel engine has little scavenge with 1.2 to 1.5 boost to turbine inlet pressure ratio’s . The tipical street cams would open the intake 10 ATDC and close at 2 or 3 ABDC . I use a cams that is 230 230 on a 116 in at 116 . and do it on 60 mm cores
So to the latest in Chevy Duramax engine for a street engine First forget the huge injectors, twin pumps and compound turbo’s. A stock short block Duramax with a good cylinder head, and cams program will breath well, and make 600 hp and 1000 ft lbs of torque, and rev to 5000+ rpms and last forever. The great part about doing the heads and cam, on a entry level engine is, that now this good breathing engine will make a good power curve at low boost levels. The great part is no need for an intercooler at this boost level. Just use Water injection on the street.
This engine in a muscle car will run good, smoke free, and get 40+ MPG on # 2 diesel fuel. Go ahead and put a good set of rods in the motor and the hp level is close to 1100 hp with nitrous , which doubles as an intercooler.
Here are some pictures of the NX Mustang and My Dragster and their engine programs based around the Dmax diesel engine.
Oh and I love this forum, the knowledge level is humbling.
I find that is very funny, that you suppose me to be Greg. If you had any verification, you would have posted it, instead you choose to extend a blackmail attempt. So where in any of Greg’s post did he do anything wrong. I see very clearly why he is advising people to steer clear of the diesel community. This group has done nothing but validate that statement in this thread .
Let’s add up the sides here. First you have Greg Hogue, a perennial competitor in more than a few categories. He seems to have status with someone, in that he is in used in advertisements. It looks like he has broken a few records in both drag racing, and Land Speed racing using the diesel engine. I see some really cool parts he has on his race cars. I also see that Greg is heavily involved in many ventures as well. The others, well I will ask them a simple question, what have you accomplished. It’s not a hard question to answer. I asked it once, and the answer is that so and so’s truck makes people feel like little girls it’s so fast. As to the acquisitions of dishonesty and fraud, where is the proof. I haven’t talked to Greg in many years; today I called the number on his web site, and ask generic and newbie type questions of him on my tow rig. What I got out of the call, was a very knowledgeable person, with great passion for the diesels in general. Greg answered questions, and gave me numbers and POC’s for parts he did not handle. So all in all, what we have here is a resentful mob. As to the girl, I called Scott; he had nothing but good to say about you, and your hard work. He had many good things to say about Greg as well, and that Greg’s recommendation was the only reason he gave her a chance.
Guys go and get a life, and stop messing up the forums for the rest of us.

problem is is that greg does not give credit where credit is due. he most certainly did not build most of the diesel vehicles but yet claims he did. i have no problems with greg and have delt with him many times. super nice guy but just bugs me that credit is not given where its due.
Are we supposed to believce a single word of what was just written ?
That is the most ludicrous, half assed version of a story I've ever seen.
I'd need quite a few more drinks before that whole post would become even remotely believable.
Greg...you're a fucking idiot. Quit trying to sell your 2nd username here...it's just not working man.
You look sadder with every post you make....
Mike, I would like to find more info out about this new ss/gt class Greg is talking about. I can't find any info so i'm not sure if it's real or a class that Greg want's but is not there. It would be cool if the have such a class. It is funny how many people are here now from comp d! This is a kick ass site with a lot of big name racers hanging out. Jeff
One more thing. Why do you guys ALWAYS FUCKING QUOTE posts with pictures in them just for a one sentence response? Then I have to see the same pictures 5 fucking times. Even if you want to quote him how hard is it to take the god damn links out?
People would do good to reread this post word for word; I believe Greg hit the nail directly on the head. It’s evident that Greg is knowledgeable about this subject matter. The herd, that chimes in are just resentful of what Greg has legitimately accomplished.

Oh and I love this forum, the knowledge level is humbling.
You're so full of shit with your conspiracy theory Greg it's not even funny.
You are a douchebag of epic proportions and the diesel world knows it.
Quoting every post you made earlier in this thread is nothing new for you either...you feed off the attention.
If everyone will notice, every time the subject strays from Greg he'll find a way to bring it right back around to himself. He's been doin it for years...easily recognizable for those of us familiar with him and how he works.
It Greg can prove this "conspiracy" was hatched in our Mod forum I'll permanently disappear from diesel motorsports forever. I'll sell my truck and go race bicycles or something. The fact is...we don't waste time talking about him in private and nothing he "thinks" happened, happened. Same stuff...different day.
And you keep bringing up the fact that I wasn't at the ADRL World Finals like it's a big deal. Understand this you fucking moron...I NEVER put racing in front of my kid.
I also had a pass and a vehicle to drive in for the Pinks deal the weekend before. It was my daughters birthday weekend so I skipped it.
For ADRL I was leaving the country on Sunday for a month for work. I took Friday and Saturday to spend with my kid instead of racing in Ennis and not seeing her.
If you or anyone can find fault in that then in my eye that makes you a horrible human being. NOTHING is more important than my kid. You're a pics of shot for even bringing it back up considering iv already addressed that in this thread at least once.
John Preston, why are you so hell bent on fighting for Greg? Can he not defend himself? Why continue to argue, why not just let it die? I don't know any of you guys but in my eyes, John Preston you are lending more credibility to the people you are accusing of attacking Greg. I'm starting to believe you may be this Greg dude these other guys are accusing you of being and you may after all be a fraud. If you are not Greg you sure aren't helping him any.
I don't know any of you guys, but I did a search on Greg and have come to the conclusion he may just be the self centered douche bag some of you guys are claiming him to be. I couldn't find any real info where he's helped anyone, but I damn sure could find a ton of bragging pics. Greg I was interested in this thread in the beginning, saw some neat things. All new things to me. I'm very interested in Diesels and the power they have to offer. i got the itch 2 years ago at sema when I saw the diesel powered Chevelle. I thought it was some really cool stuff and have wanted a diesel ever since. I'm looking to get a diesel in the next year and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Granted it will be my personal vehicle, primarily for towing, but I want it to be as stout as possible. Just like my silverado I plan to mod the hell out of it. But believe me, I'll be staying away from your shameless self promoting bragadochis chest pumping threads. I hope this thread is not an indicator of what the diesel community has to offer. Sad...
Nwayne,
There are lots of good people in the Diesel Performance industry/community who will bend over backwards to help someone out. Some of my best friends are people I have meet through diesels, and these are the kind of friends who will drop everything to come over and help you if something comes up. Just like the rest of the racing world, there are differing opinions on how to go fast, and the diesel world has broken into a couple of distinct camps (old-school mechanical injection Cummins vs. common-rail electronic injection). I have seen HUGE amounts of power made with both. Here's a couple of my favorite "real-world" example trucks:
Richard "Maddog" Madsen put a mechanical Cummins in his crew cab Ford, used it to tow his mobile dyno all over the place, and routinely put down over 1000 hp without nitrous. When someone on the East coast questioned if he was "doctoring" the dyno numbers, he threw some better-mileage injectors in the truck (something he could do in 5 or 10 minutes), drove cross-country to an event, changed injectors back, put down something like 1200 hp, swapped back and drove home to Southern Utah.
Paul Breedlove is an accomplished bracket racer (prior division Race of Champions winner) and a crew chief for a Nostalgia nitro team. His goal was to build a truck that he could use to tow his travel trailer to the NHRA divisional races, unhook the trailer, and race in Super-Street (10.90 index). His 2005 Dodge Common-rail is the end product. I'm not sure if he has actually done that yet, but he has run the ETs necessary (but has unfortunately been breaking a few too many parts still). Once he gets the truck to the necessary reliability level, expect to see it going rounds at a LODRS race near you!
Paul Breedlove is a class act & one of the best competitors around (between his 2nd & 3rd Gen Rams, I can't think of anyone who's made more diesel hits at the track than he has).
Yup, and he is the antithesis of the OP, in that he races a TON and never posts about his accomplishments. I have really felt bad for Paul with all of the parts breakage he has been plagued with lately. Hoping that is behind him now.
BTW - at the recent Boise Halloween Classic (one of the biggest bracket races on the West Coast) there were a number of diesel guys there watching, and several bracket racing as well. I was just racing my gasser race car (I thought about unhooking and running the tow rig, but chasing gremlins in the race car kept me too busy). Both Ryan Dubois and Verlon Southwick were there representing diesels and going rounds. Verlon got a lot of attention for towing his trailer in, unhooking and running mid-12's.
Ahh, had my coffee. Didn't mean to say that the whole diesel community is bad. I've seen lots of good and informative stuff out there, just as I thought this might be but instead turned out to be an all about "me" thread, as are most of the other threads I've found by the OP. I've come to the conclusion that Greg is a Legend in his on mind and John Preston is either a nutthugger or a fraud. I'm more inclined to believe he's a fraud at this point.
Anyway, enough about Greg. I look forward to learning more and tapping some of your guys minds when I get to the point of actually buying a diesel.
Seems to me a lot has been said and not much has come back from GH. What I can say is what most of the people have been saying is true. I've know GH for sometime and while he tries to promote for the sport he goes way overboard too many times. As for what he has or has not done for the sport time will tell but I can say first hand some of what he has done as he has step over, across and on top of some people should get him taken out back to the shed more than a few times. He takes credit for things he did not do and has taken, borrowed, ect. from many and claimed it as his own. He will help you but at the sametime will have his hand in your back pocket. Anna is just one of many that it's happened too. I will leave it at that unless GH wants me to bring more of it out in the public eye.
Let's just leave it as he really does try, but has a hard time with reality. Some of you posting are either GH with many screen names or people who just do not know any better.
I spent a few hours catching up on the phone with Greg. Right up front I told Greg that I did not condone the language he used in a public forum. I reminded him that he was the professional here, and that he represented the people putting money and product up. I see the bigger picture on this problem, and it’s very apparent. Greg is accused of pimping the people that facilitate his ventures. If he is going to take money to race, this is part of it. I understand that some of the people complaining are on the other side of the fence in the diesel aftermarket. I them see that people say that he takes credit for things he did not do. I see he has done a lot , and this again is just hearsay . further expound , or STFU As to the ugly things that he is accused of saying to the chief antagonize UNBROKEN, Greg told me that he doesn’t talk to this individual. Seems very rational in that why would Greg give this person any ammunition. After a little research , I have come to this conclusion the people that are attacking Greg have a axe to grind with him or the people he represents , so this should be taken in to account giving authenticity to the accusations. Greg is out there doing the deed, racing on levels that not one of his lynch mobs have ever aspired too. So in the final analysis, use your own judgment. I would bet on Greg
you need to go back to the nobody you are , you should first show us before you say one more word about Greg show us what you have done , beside the truck that makes the other guy squeal like a girl. I am talking racing or building in cars that require testacies to drive. You are a keyboard commando. All talk and no ET slip. Have you ever been as fast in a diesel powered vehicles as MR. Hogue. Has you little dick skinners ever worked on a diesel vehicle that has gone as fast at He has .
If you post one more comment without answering these simple questions, I will follow you around on this website for the sport of it. I am retired and I have the time, just as it seems you do.
I also what to know why you perceive yourself to be such a bad ass, last time I saw Greg he was about 6.4 and 200 lbs , and a former Marine, so you might not like the results.
Rediculous, isnt it. I was turned on to this site by a few friends and have been looking around and saw the first of this thread. Looked good for promoting diesel motorsports. Then the shit bomb landed. While I'm sure the diesel community looks like a wasteland after all this shit, its not. The guys that ruined this thread, well thats what they do. Check out the forum they came from. Its the same guys doing over there for the most part. I'm not even gonna get into picking sides and I could give a shit less about these guys personal problems with each other. But I think its pretty aparent that the OP has at least a few accomplishments, even if they werent entirely his and/or credited correctly. And what do most of other other guys have to show, not a fucking thing. And definately nothing of their own.
So for the people who have judged our community based on this thread, please dont. 99 percent of the diesel guys are good, honest, hard working people and will help anyone and talk to anyone. The other 1 percent, well, you've seen some of them here. Hopefully, one day, gas and diesel powered vehicles can meet and race together more than they do now.
How come when someone questions anything Greg says or does, we automatically have an axe to grind???
Yea there are some Greg haters that jump in when they see Greg an others getting into it, but alot of people forget who the f Greg is until he starts saying the same old shit again. Some of th ones posting in here not aggreeing with Greg are usually some of the first to congradulate him.

Well, just who is Greg, a guy that in my humble and educated opinion is out there building and racing some really cool diesels vehicles? I see him have to defend his accomplishments, ones that he legitimately achieved after being questioned, and the nut huggers go on that he is bragging.
And to the guy that shares my surname, you post this only after you know you have been maneuvered in to a no win situation
as I read on another thread , give up and quite making yourselves look like the losers you truly are , Greg is not going anywhere ,If I have to give him funding to finish his car. And UNBROKEN , you get the award for being the face of the diesel shit stains posse. What a lousy jealous wantabee drunk. YBBitch:
John.....I'll tell you again. Prove it. Prove what you said about what was happening on CompD. Until you back up what you said, you have ZERO credibility with me.
And with that delusional diatribe...I'll say now I won't address anything else your fucktard stupid ass can type except the part about temporarily shelving the Ranger. The owner of that truck decided to put his family first above racing just as I do with my daughter. If you have a problem with that you are the sorriest piece of shit I've ever known.
You seriously need help Greg...your head isn't right anymore.
With that, you're completley not worth my time...especially right now while I'm relaxing in St Croix.
I'll gladly continue this converstaion with you in person Greg. See you in Feb in Florida at Garmon's race.....bitch.
your answer is too threaten , around NHRA we toss your sorry ass out in braclets , its called a threat
Just got another PM on you I’ll give you a taste of what your brethren are saying about you
Rich is nothing but a team t-shirt wearing poser and likes to post up about Todd's race team because his brother helps them. He doesn't own a race car and he will unleash the calvary of supporters if you call him out on pretty much anything because he has a decent running diesel....which he paid someone else to build.
