Tell that to all the Indie'* out there running full custom tractors.

One of my buddies has a full custom long nosed Pete. The TQ/HP he is putting to the wheels is crazy! I'm sure that'* just his "Oversize Tune" though, and he probably dials it back for normal loads.

we used to have a generator that was a detriot v12, it had two */c'* and two turbos, i always thought that would be cool to do something like that with, but i cant imagine the fuel that would go through after cranking up the power on it.
