I read somewhere else it was running 100 psi of boost 😲
Isn't there a saying "Go big!!! Or go home!!!".

I've been standing next to a 300hp diesel when a rod let loose and decided to redecorate the side of the block. Needed a clean pair of shorts after that one 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I can just imagine what that thing sounded like when it cratered 😳😳😳

Did my link not bring up the video? Thank you though if it didn’t 👍
That was a decent sized fire ball. Couldn't tell if they were operating the truck remotely or not.

If someone was in the cab, I bet they would have needed some new clothes 😳😳😳

There was a driver and passenger in the truck, if the video worked you can see the driver bail

Yep, one of those idiots that believe that you can't have to much horsepower.
I wonder how many rpms that thing was turning when it had a cast iron hemorrhage.
Nor sure, but sounded like a Cummins, and the YouTube comments said he was trying for 3,000 hp. Why?
Stupid waste of money and a pollution nightmare, glad it grenaded.

Why did we try to get 1 hp per cubic inch when we were kids? Cause thats what gear heads do!

And that my friend is a fact!! Some people will never understand the addiction but if you have it you best have the fat wallet to go with it.

I think it was in Mad Max,, a sign on a garage said something like "Speed is only a question of money,"

Wonder if the Federal EPA was there to give them a ticket for excessive particulate emissions. Aren't they cracking down on that stuff?

'Rolling Coal' is now the 'ticket' to a court date and hefty fine. Someone downwind had the breathe that crap.

Wasn't even moving... Just sitting there and tossing it's guts.....Oh well. Black smoke is indicative of unburned / partially burned diesel fuel.

My 97 F350 diesel has a Gale Banks kit on it. Makes plenty of power (for me) and hardly smokes at all under load, but then I live in the real world.
