Holy Crap Shaolin, I want to see a video of that beast in action.
Plunker, I'm getting it shipped. I was going to fly out there and bring it back originally, figured it would cost $350 to do it that way, and it would cost about $750 to ship it. But when I made the guy an offer, he came back with a counter offer at $500 higher, and I told him I could only afford that if he paid to ship it here (which is true) and he agreed. He probably gets a sweet deal on shipping.
How long did it take to ship your black Cobra out here?

You can make your station on the relatively cheap.
Or go gucci.

Or you can do a vegistroke kit, which contains itself in the bed of the truck. My buddy has it and has filled up his truck with diesel once this year. |

Me too, i went to the street legals in december, but the first pass i smoked my LSD. So i was losing traction all the way down, the cleanest pass(only spinning at the 60' and the 330') Yielded a 15.1 at 102mph with a 3.90 60'(crap i know)
I have trap speeds currently for 12's, and my calculator says in the ballpark of 700-750hp at the flywheel. When i get a detroit and slicks i assume i can even gain a few mph and get my et's into the mid 12's( i have friend with the same mods running 12.7-12.8's with 35" Tires and a leveling kit.) |

I can't believe you're averaging higher than 20, do you switch to a tune that makes it more fuel efficient than stock?

As I recall it took about a week. How much aftermarket support is out there for that diesel?

In North America and elsewhere this 3.0 L V6 CRD was available for 2007-2008 model years. It includes a diesel particulate filter to reduce exhaust emissions. It was not however available for sale in California or certain Northeast states, due to new stricter emissions regulations for non-commercial vehicles. Vehicles could be bought used in California and Northeast states, as the regulations only applied to new vehicles.
This engine is also used in the Mercedes-Benz ML320.

I wonder what these run on the AM and how'd they'd package in a Wrangler.
