    2010 chevy duramax 4.5L-I'm in!

    Ok...I've been really thinking hard about waiting till 2010 to get back into the performance sceen. GM is coming out with a 1/2 ton silverado with a 4.5L duramax diesel engine cranking out like 310 HP and 520 ft/lbs. of torque...thats an awesome platform to make a seriously fast truck...add a tune, cold air, and a good exhaust, and we're talking about some major power...and it gets 25 mpg on top of all that! I know I'm committing a huge sin here; talking about a diesel on an LS1 forum but what do you guys think about this?
    2005 AWD Silverado SS-CAI, Shorties, X pipe, SLP Loudmouth II, HD2 Shift kit, Corvette servo, tru-cool 40k, Yank SS3600, 160 Stat, Nelson tune.

    We have a diesel section now - talk about it all you want.

    I agree - sounds like a great start to a fast truck.

    I just think that its amazing how easily a diesel can make power...they can gain 100 rwhp with a tune...thats nuts in a 9000 pound truck.

    Oh yeah! They are going to be powerhouses for sure. Not too sure about the DOHC idea though, I guess if they're built with some very strong parts they'll be ok.

    I wonder how easy it will be to swap it into a reg cab since its a 1500? I bet it will only go into the NNBS trucks
