The April 2015 issue of Diesel Power Magazine just hit newstands and subscriber's mailboxes. Inside on page 66 there is an article introducing the 40 hopeful contenders that made the ballot; it's now up to Diesel Power Magazine readers to select their favorite trucks, list them on the paper ballot, and send-in the original hard copy for the official vote. Each truck has a picture with a small with a list of modifications and claimed horsepower and torque numbers.
To the casual reader, the horsepower and torque claims are impressive and awe-inspiring. As a forum member, you fall into a different level of understanding and are more likely to scrutinize to the claims vs. listed turbo sizes and modifications. I'd like this to be an open forum topic for the discussion of individual trucks from the ballot and whether or not you think the claimed power numbers are plausible or complete BS. To keep things simple, refer to trucks by their ballot number, not just the name of the owner. Keep in mind that many of these truck owners are also members here on Comp D so keep it somewhat civil. Don't be afraid to scrutinize these trucks, after all, each owner filled out the truck stats on their ballot so they should be man enough to own up to whatever claims were made.
Here are the trucks in numerical order, starting with the Dodges:
Set Go!!!
