Hey DML!
The September issue of Sport Truck has an article about an attempt by
Gale
Banks to mod out a DAK! He plans on squeezing a 6 cyl. Holset HY-40
Turbocharged Cummins Diesel under the hood & is gonna run it the
Bonneville
Salt Flats in an attempt to break the 153 MPH land speed record for
diesels
in the Dakota truck class! He's only gonna try to surpass that by 57 MPH
(-210)! To better the 204 He set with a Syclone. The project's already
under way. The motor has already put out 393 hp & 600 lb-ft of torque.
He's
gonna upgrade for the BSF runs to an HY-55 Turbo. It has a NASCAR front
suspension in place of the OEM, & a massive quick-change rear end. He
plans
on driving up to the flats, towing a trailer full of parts, changing the
turbo & rear end, making two runs, then changing back to street for the
trailer pull home. He wants to do some drag & oval racing too! Hope
somebody
gets the runs on video!
Drive safely to Carlisle!
