How does a Cummins diesel make 1400HP at 100psi of boost? Let's take a look.
Hammering out 2111 ft/lbs of torque from 1464whp at over 100psi of boost, Scott Birdsall's ChucklesGarage 1949 Ford F1 knows how to party no matter the application. Drag racing, drift action, hill climbing or land speed racing this truck and the team will dive in head first.
It takes a lot to produce this power day after day from a 5.9L ISB Cummins Inc inline six diesel engine so it’s no surprise the parts list includes #ARP 14mm head studs, CP-Carrillo rods, MAHLE pistons, Industrial Injection billet girdle, Hamilton cams and rods and of course two Garrett GTX series turbos in a compound setup. Fuel is supplied via an Airdog 200 g/h lift pump and Dynomite Diesel Products pump capable of producing 26,000 psi of fuel pressure. Engine management is taken care of by a factory ECU and HP Tuners more than capable tuning software.
