It is MUCH quicker than standard. The engines are great but "they pull like a locomotive" is not a measured statement.

Not trying to break any records here, just mucking around and getting started.

20lbs boost will not give you a 13-14 sec 1/4 mile! It weighs 5300lbs with drive, passenger and fuel!. Also, no intercooler and a VERY restrictive exhaust AND minimal smoke.

The 12HT std is only 130hp, put that in a online calculator with the weight and tell me what it does.

My previous car did 14.0, that felt fast and had 230kw and weighed 3500lbs with Driver!!

The big Cummins is a greater engine, but seriously, 1/4 Mile of 13.? seconds is quick in a Truck driven every day.

Bet you dont use ~ 10l/100km like the 12HT typically does!
