From highest horsepower to lowest horsepower, Greg A. has things covered from wire-to-wire at any given dyno competition—and this is the reason why. It’s an old-school Dodge Sweptline D100 with a bone-stock, VE-pumped 12-valve Cummins, a five-speed, and some meaty, 35-inch TSL Super Swamper Boggers onboard. When Greg heard there was money to be made for lowest horsepower on the dyno at the Music City Showdown, he loaded up the ancient Cummins conversion and headed south. Turns out, the untouched (to his knowledge) 1992 model year first-gen powertrain cleared a dismal 162 hp and 316 lb-ft of torque on the rollers, a lowest of lows for him. You can check out the whole trip to Tennessee below.

Of course, anyone with some skill and talent (or a large pocketbook) can make a replica, but until recently, no mass production of any movie car could be had. This was due to copyright law that made movie car designs the property of the maker, or the studio, or whoever was given the rights at the time of the movie's production. Well, that law/precedent (we're not lawyers...) was just overturned, and full-scale production of movie car clones has already started from a few companies. Check the link below for some Eleanor recreations being done by the original movie car's producer. All the details right down to the "Go Baby Go" shift knob!
Don’t settle for a parts changer. A lot of dealerships and independent diesel shops would’ve told this 6.7L Cummins owner he needed a new turbo—but not at Rowdy’s Automotive & Motorsports. The Holset HE351VE aboard many of these engines is notorious for VGT actuator issues, some of which can be addressed without replacing the actuator. Make sure your mechanic is comfortable pulling a critical component like this apart, properly diagnosing the problem, solving the issue as reasonably as possible, and putting it back together. Throwing parts at a problem isn’t only expensive, but sometimes it’s completely unnecessary.

Adjustable P-pump gears have been available for some time now, but when exactly is one warranted? After all, at high horsepower, elevated rpm, and high timing, the P7100’s timing gear is known to slip. Some say the adjustable timing gear from Power Driven Diesel is worth its weight in gold, even in applications where the truck owner isn’t attempting to set the world on fire. Others swear by its necessity when converting to a 13mm (or bigger) pump—along with adding a billet front cover with a camshaft gear support if you’re still running a cast cam... For others, keeping timing advance at or below 26 degrees seems to do the trick, as can torquing the gear to a serious 175 ft-lbs.

Because making 3,000 hp at the wheels is yesterday’s news, Randy’s Transmissions has decided to skip the 3,500hp threshold and head straight for no man’s land: 4,000-rwhp. To do it, they’ve once again enlisted the help of Industrial Injection. But this time it’s not a deck-plated, factory-based block 6.7L Cummins. This version will be based around the use of a Fleece Performance Engineering billet-aluminum block, along with a dry sump oil system. Industrial’s Stage 4 cylinder head, and a side-draft intake will grace the new power plant. We fully expect to see the triple-turbo arrangement remain—albeit a bit larger. Stay tuned for the unveiling of this build. Chances are it’ll be epic.

If you’ve been following the legal battles of Kory Willis, owner of PPEI, in recent years, pay attention. On July 9, a hearing is being held in Washington D.C. It’s titled “From Protection to Persecution: EPA Enforcement Gone Rogue Under the Biden Administration.” There, Kory Willis plans to present real world examples for why the current administration is investigating the EPA and DOJ for the somewhat recent regulatory actions against the automotive aftermarket. Specifically, Mr. Willis states he plans to illustrate how the Department of Justice (DOJ) and EPA targeted himself and others in the diesel industry in the name of “environmental justice.” Overly restrictive consent decrees, with costly requirements as a condition of terminating litigation, may be at the forefront of the hearing.
