7.3s are bulletproof, but they can handle only so much

cummins is the way to go if you want a race motor. i might try to build one in my diesel class next year to put in a superduty. if i get the money

i think 4x the hp is a little off lol. but easily 2x the torque so nothing to be ashamed of.

I go to school with a guy who has an '01 24v cummins that has stacked boxes, injecters, and twins (among other things) pushing 115 psi. the school is lucky to have a dyno so we strapped it up one day He flatlined the torque at 1000 lbft he can do a burnout through 5 gears and catch pavement in 6th. DRY PAVEMENT

Another guy has a '97 12v Cummins with injecters, delivery valves, a custom cut fuel plate, timing advanced from stock 14.5* to 17*, a custom built automatic from the dodge guy around these parts and he was leaving my house goin down my road about 65 70 laid into it and broke the tires loose. i sh*t you not. i know cuz i was there. im tellin ya diesel is the way to go

my next truck is either a 7.3 or a cummins. the dodges are really starting to grow on me, always loved cummins, never a big dodge fan, but im starting to warm up to them. either way, id never buy one with an automatic tranny.

i like the cummins, but the interior is unbearable. kinda ugly IMO too, especially the 90s ones. auto is out of the question when your buying a dodge.
