Another 1000 HP Duramax

Congrats to Jim on the numbers, now it's time to break 1k on fuel.

Yep. I've been trying to talk him into getting bigger injectors. He's commanding a lot of pulse width to get the numbers he got.

Congrats! That must be a handful on the street.

Meh. I don't know about a dmax but a 950+ fuel only cummins is pretty nice as long as your foot isn't heavy.

You certainly don't drive any of them with the big tune on the street, and if you do you want it in 4x4 if you do get on it a little.

Actually I've ran around with mine cranked and it's not that bad, you don't have to use all of the pedal.....

I certianly wouldn't leave it up in the rain though. It will catch you off guard even turned all the way down.

Maybe on a dyno that's not reading high next time??

I just wanted to post a congratulations to my boss, Jim Jones, for finally making 1000 HP with his 2002 Duramax. He is also a professional firefighter, so he asked me to take his truck to a dyno event for him today. We went loaded for bear. The truck has a fully built motor from SoCal diesel, a set of custom built twin turbos, dual CP3s, bigger injectors (not sure on the specs), EFILive tuning from IdahoRob, a transmission that was built in house by Jim's performance diesel business, a two stage nitrous system, and a laundry list of various other modifications. He has been shooting for a 1000 HP dyno sheet since he got the truck back together late last year, and we were fortunate enough to make it today. This was with 0% correction factor. Here are the numbers:

Fuel only: 898.5 HP and 1660 Ft-Lbs of TQ

With spray: 1053.1 HP and 1844 Ft-Lbs of TQ

It should also be noted that this truck isn't a dyno queen. Jim races the truck as often as he can. It was at the NADM Texas Nationals race last October where it ran a 10.7 in the 1/4 with a small shot from one stage (the second stage was deactivated). This was on street tires with a race weight of almost 7000 lbs. It is going in for a roll bar soon.

Here are a couple of pics (vids are uploading right now). Thanks to Danny for taking them.

Congratulations Jim and all who were involved with the truck :clap: :rockwoot:

Awesome numbers. Hella sleeper truck! I miss my LB7, I think they are one of the best looking trucks on the road.

Amazing truck. you have my complements. :Cheer: I would build my D-max up but a Cummins is eaiser and cheaper to get those numbers out of. Good job and good luck with 1000hp on just fual :bow:
