You learn something new everyday. I din't know you could run nitrous with diesel.

They changed the tires but what about the barrings.

And did you notice the amount smoke blowing out of that sucker until the first and then second stage turbos kicked in WOW!!!!!

Pick any week night at the local drag strips in FL and you'll see many nitrous Duramax's killin it on the track!
They have trouble finding any sports car to test them on the track...it's insane to see 7-8K lb trucks turnin in 120-130mph 1/4 mile runs!

That would be a sweet retrofit!!!...the ported and tuned cobra motor in your 53......I'm just sure it would have a lil 'pep'.....

I'll leave the diesel for the truck....nothing I love more than the sound of the Cobra flowing through cat less h pipe and 40 series flowmasters....oh....and the supercharger whine.....pure music!!!! A symphony!!!
