Westin Chapin put a 5.9 Cummins in a Mustang, and it's an absolute beast. The 6.0 has always been the bane of the Powerstrokes, and there's a reason why not many make it to the performance arena compared to Cummins or Duramax
you dont have to do any other diesel engine "correct" to make a ton of power, you have to do it to 100% of every diesel engine ford has ever made, i owned a 6.0l for all of one month and yeeted it as far away from me as possible, garbage.
Amen brother! I think i would've chosen my diesel power plant a little more wisely for the project, and size , weight, and reliability would have been high on the list of needs. When money isn't an obstacle then they all can make similar power numbers, so every thing else important like the size, weight and reliability should be a deciding factor for a winning combination. But what do i know about racing. Lol
Have you thought about compounding with a turbo and a supercharger like Gale Bank's is doing with the Duramax so you guys will have boost at the lower RPM below the crossover of the turbo spool up. Noticed the lag because of the bigger turbo to get the most air density and power at higher elevations!
You can't compound at that pressure your just going to raise EGTS and eat the motor. No matter how much you build a diesil for that race, if your tuning doesn't self adjust to the parameters of pressure and oxygen. You dump fuel, the only time that motor is remotely burning clean is at high rpm. But the low end torque he is just dumping and blowing smoke and soot, so all that work they just did was worthless at shitty tuning. You can't run a powerstroke like that because the dam headers are in the turbo valley. Your heating the manifold, then heating the AIT i don't care where you put the air filter. If the manifold is 400 degrees, then the AIT will be close to 240degrees. You cook the motor by killing the air, plus to much fuel. The motor would leaned out and sacrificed the low end torque for top end speed. He would of had a better recipe. Online 6 billet block 5.9 cummins and analog tuning you will do it. Because I'm building a truck right now for that and it's a easy step if you start with the motor. Anybody can drive
it would still blow up. due to them having poor Oil pickup tube location. their 6.0Ls they ran and blew up the 3 of them they all blew the motors up because they kept a stock Oil pickup. 7.3 would have same issue not to mention 7.3 is a larger motor. dimension wise. heavier as well.. and the advantage of the 6.0L higher Revs and VGT turbocharger. and Extremely strong bottom end. you have to think their hopped up 6.0L ran at full bore with nitrous potentially starving the engine of oil for a good 5 minutes or so. the oil pickup was getting just enough oil to run the injectors but not enough to lube lower
@@justnsaliga8518 i thought this same thing. The only other engine type that would make sense really for diesels is either detroit or cummins. 6.4 powerstroke has same issues as 6.0 and 7.3. I think a 12 valve cummins would do wonders, not to mentions its an inline 6 so its much lighter and much more narrow.
Your turn is off that's why you destroyed the motor twice, you super heated the bottom of the block on to hot of EGTS on a shitty 6.0 powerstroke block. I saw the data logging absoulte trash, you didn't set up timing for atmospheric pressure as you went above base camp. This is your own dumb fault for building something with a two many weak points in the motor. I raised there in early 2000s I know what it takes and how much it cost. This just wanna be goobers.
YOU "WILL" EARN THIS! Thank you for sharing your journey thus far. Looking forward to chapter 2
I wanna see a VAG V10 or V12 diesel in an Audi R10 chassis
You’ll smash it next year 👍🏼
Not with a powerstroke motor they will not
Can't wait to see you tame Pikes Peak :)

Lmao. You're kidding right? Takes 5 seconds to use Google. The 6.0 is a powerhouse when done correct. Duramax lmao

There has also been a 5.9 Cummins in a Charger or Challenger and a Duramax in a Camaro. At least 10 years ago.

@@corythomas4427 There was also a de-stroked 6.7L cummins in a Mustang drag car (6.4L iirc) called "Cumstang"

Didn’t Gale just put out 1400hp with that compound?
I'm hoping to take on Pike's Peak with a pickup diesel as well one day! Keep trying!
Awesome. Thank you.
Is it still awd?
Update?
Had a lost opportunity to put a Mercedes OM606 in it. It's WAY lighter and has nearly the same power potential.
I was thinking about a bmw m57 but both these 3l engines have to be completely rebuilt to break 1k hp but the large diesels can make double that
Go 7.3 it will be way more reliable
And slow.

i didn't mention duramax because, well its duramax
@@eric2956 I'm pretty sure the record holder is a Cummins.
6.7 is best powerstroke 😊
💪👍💯
Awesome concept worst engine ford made though. Lol
6.4 walks in
International not Ford
Very cool, but a Cummins would have been cooler
