Any idea which series Cummins this is? 6BT? I recall that big red twin diesel rig Terrible Herbst had here a number of years ago. Don't know what engines were in it or what kind of speed it did. It was big.

I ran across this in the channel two weeks ago, it's pretty damn neat. Something about the black diesel smoke makes it cool. :thumbsup

Believe it or not, this video now makes me want to buy a v-drive. Like seriously. You can just nail the throttle like a sports car and not cause a mercruiser tragedy back there. Awesome

It would be interesting to know the final gear he has in the tranny, I bet that engine redlines at 3,500.

Back in the '70s Bob Nordskog ran a diesel in the Parker 9hr for an international record. That's when they found out after all the years of running the race it wasn't as long, miles wise, as advertised. Bob had to have the course surveyed for an official record.

I like this Tarva in the video, not sure I'd want to ski behind if with that exhaust.

I wonder what the weight difference is between the diesel and a gas motor. They also have too have some really high gearing.

I have always thought that diesels could be a really big deal if anyone ever spent the time to figure it out. That is a 12 valve tractor motor, the technology now and capabilities is endless. You could make 400 to 1000 HP and it would live forever assuming nothing weird happened. With the advancements in tooning it could be smoke free. But there would be a bunch of boters go redneck and want to smoke out other boaters lol.
