A friend of mine has an F350 power stroke and it can't be stopped. That ****** will tow anything you can tie to it. He has some work done to it, but even when it was stock it was tough as ----.

All of the diesels are easy to mod. The Cummins(Dodge) are the easiest. This part that is called a cam plate produces around 75 horsepower. No ----, no kidding around. It basicaly allows it to pump more gas which is great for a diesel. Another part for the Cummins is the power puck. It's basicaly just a chip, but they call it a power puck. It produces some serious gains also. I think the market for diesels is almost as big as the import scene.

My buddy has a 3500 dually Dodge running 35psi, he can pin his gauge. Last dyno run it was at like 375 hp, and 770tq. That thing is sick and do burnouts all day long. His buddies in his hicktown dynoed at over 700hp and couldn't even get a reading on tq, no traction. I'd love to get one, but I can't afford it. Soon enough I'll be rich

The Cherokee doesn't come with V8, I'd get the I6 4.0. Supercharged, it'll be enough for my light *** civic.
