Danny is a (current) crew chief and ex racer...he raced cars and motorcycles!  Got to be crazy to race motorcycles!!!  Sometimes he even raced them at the track!!  :wink:   :o

I believe this is the truck I saw Danny in last summer. They drove it out here for the Mopar Mile High Nationals. I was going to visit Mike Garner (tweekgeek) and I pulled up and saw this truck and two guys in NHRA outfilts. Then it hit me that it was Danny. I think they'd had some problems but it still sounded pretty healthy. :)

This is one of my favorite things to do besides audio...
Love pulling up to a 4 banger with my 07 Dmax and leaving them in my smoke!

Modern day diesels have so much potential it's just silly.  I have just a moderate tune :wink: on my truck and it pulls 14's in the quarter, and 5.5 second 0-60's.  Can't beat the feeling of 800 ft/lbs of torque while riding an 8000# rig :thumb:.  Can you say "sleeper".

I wish I had a camera for every time i caught a slack jawed teenie weenie with their 4 banger at the next light.  They tuck tail and reconsider their hobby real quick!   :lol:
Some are catching on though since I see more and more checking out the emblems on the sides of my truck before they decide to line it up.
Good times.

A few years ago I worked at a Chevy dealer. I had a customer with a 1 ton (3500) Duramax DUALLY that was doing elevens in the quarter. He claims to have added about $3500 in "EDGE" diesel performance mods (injectors, programming etc...).
Nothing like blowing the doors off a Corvette with a one ton dually.  :o  aa  :thumb:

EProvenzano - Maybe someday those kids will learn to listen to your truck and know the sound a diesel makes.  8)
