not good enough. stick a cam and healthy ported heads on her.
In most cases you dont have to do anything with a diesel to get the same results as modded gasser...
Except that diesel will never turn 8000 rpm, and never sound as sweet.
It depends on personal preferences... When a diesel only needs 4500 rpms to reach a 10 second 1/4 mile thats impressive..
Race fuel dragsters are ok... but thats all they can do...
It also has a turbocharger.

My bigblock has gobs of low end pull for a gasser, but it is not designed for speed. A small block would eat it up in speed. I had a 2004 Duramax and loved it. That said it is apples and oranges when it comes to the difference between the two. I usually don't have a load in tow and find the average driving pleasure of a bigblock is most rewarding.

Good point Dan,let's remove the turbo and see how it runs
I was actually gonna point that little fact out last night. I had about 4 sentences strung together and decided it wasn't worth the effort. That was my Nevermind post.not good enough. stick a cam and healthy ported heads on her.

No no no, you're looking at this backwards.
Put the same size turbo on a big block, and then compare.

Yeah PROUD big block owner here. Diesels are alright if you like rattling and stinky diesel fuel. I agree a big block is more fun to drive.
