Isn't CO2 the NO2 for Diesels ?

they run both NOS and LPG injection

300bhp per ton

diesel are fab, espcially the Cummins 5.9 S6 found in the Dodge Ram. It's mostly about fueling with a turbo diesel, get more fuel, no as much fuel as you can into it and watch those EGT's climb.

Better intercooling and more turbo obviously help too.

500rwhp is pretty easy from those trucks and around 800lb ft at the rear wheels also, although over 1000lb ft is quite possible, but I think they have issues with them melting gearboxes a bit too often.

I've got a vid somewhere of a Chevy 7.3 V8 diesel out running a C5 z06 Vette at the 1/4 mile and another of a Dodge Ram running 11's
